Stardew Valley meets Fall Guys in this wild new game

Stardew ValleyandFall Guysare two games I wholeheartedly adore and have sunk many, many hours into. Imagine my delight then when I stumbled acrossSouthfield, an upcoming physics-based farming game which seems to combine the best of both worlds.

Southfieldis in the works at developer Radical Forge. “Weird farming meets silly physics inSouthfield,” begins the synopsis. “Combine chaotic crops with unpredictable effects, build your dream farmstead, and experiment with playful machinery. Wobble your way around an ever-changing island solo or with up to three friends and unearth its secrets.” I can always get behind a game that describes itself as silly. You don’t know the true meaning of fun if you don’t engage in a bit of silly goosery from time to time.

Take a look atSouthfieldin action below.

InSouthfield, as the synopsis suggests, you’ll own your own farmstead - full of ‘chaotic crops’ and ‘wacky machinery’ - which should appeal toStardew Valleyfans, albeit with a zany twist. As for youFall Guysplayers, you’ll want to try out the tractor racing and lily-pad jumping, or use the various pieces of farm machinery (including cannons and moving platforms) to create fun obstacle courses.

I should also mention thatSouthfield, likeFall GuysandAmong Us, introduces us to a new kind of bean person. Buds are “freshly sprouted from the land itself” but nobody knows exactly whence these “silly creatures” came to be. I am already so sold on this game. Buds are essentially jelly-blob like creatures, with devs noting that they’re particularly uncoordinated.
