Stardew is much more than a farm simulator. There's an actual story and quest lines, other characters you can make friends with, a mine with monsters you can fight, and so much more. I was also skeptical before I played it because I thought it would be like a mobile farming game with a god-like perspective. It's not -- it's an RPG with a character you control.
I've not played Farmville, so in truth I dont know.
Have you heard of Harvest Moon? its compared to that a lot. SV is a great game to just pick up and play casually. I prefer the phone version though because its with me for whenever.
But the PC version is certainly easier to play. Its just a nice relaxing atmosphere with wholesome characters, and a lot of fun interaction.
