Created by Gameloft, Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life sim game in the vein of such titles as Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, though with Disney and Pixar characters. Originally, the game was a free-to-play title. However, following release, that’s no longer the case, and the base game, at the time of writing, costs $39.99 on Steam. There’s also a piece of paid DLC, subtitled “A Rift in Time,” which adds new areas and characters.
