When I first played #stardewvalley I was overwhelmed by all the tasks you had to do. It felt like the opposite of a #cozygame is there something out there that has the same look and feel but doesn't have the huge list of todos you gotta do?

Not sure what todos you mean. The magic of the game is you really don't need to follow anything if you don't want to. Specific farm types allow you to focus on what you like most, e.g. mining, fishing, farming, etc. There are also mods to slow down the game if you really don't want to rush things during the day, but there is really no set route to follow, just an ideal one to make grandpa happy. But even that is not a must, people have farms they have worked on for 30 game years.

@erion I just remember feeling overwhelmed at the time I started playing it with not knowing what was the best way to go, and having a big list of quests and stuff. I guess for me I didn't take them as optional but wanted to play the game in some min max way. Perhaps I should revisit it as a sort of village sandbox.

If you do, you will have a great time. When people experience the game for the first time, it's common to have 6-7 saves until you figure out what works for you. Just take it easy for the first few tries, and one day when you are familiar with everything, focus on maxing out things. You will have a great time.
