Can be grindy.
Finite main storyline, but can be played indefinitely with random side quests.
Can spend hundreds of hours in a single save file.
Can be saved at any time, but you lose the rest of the in-game day unless you play until the night time.
Achievements
A farm with many amenities and cooler animals takes time investment to build
It has a contained story, technically you could play forever but why would you?? I'm putting Yes but mean Yes (No). Like would you consider minecraft to be an infinite treadmill? thats like Stardew
Skills, quests, earning money, caring for animals/farm/npc relationship gauges, etc. You are always chasing a half dozen things and even if you like some of them you almost certainly will not enjoy or be good at all of them, making some degree of the game a frustrating slog.
Technically speaking most if not all of the major questlines and town storyline can be finished, but the game does not end and the basic gameplay loop always remains.
In more recent updates there are special items and quests you can only access by increasing your 'Perfection' rating aka moving closer to 100% complete.
