One of the first game that I "double dip" both on my smartphone and now Steam. I bought this bundled with My Time at Sandrock back in 2022. Honestly, I didn't finish this game all the way to the end until I started playing Sandrock when it's out from early access phase. So I will compared both of them directly. Pros : [*]It's Cozy/farming sims game like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, you named it. And, in this game you play in 3rd person view, with some some kind of base building mode for your farm/workshop and there's "automation" mode, something that you could find on Factorio or Satisfactory kind of games I assume. [*]On top of all gameplay features that you could find on any other Cozy/Farming Sims game, This one has some unique feature called Jealousy. As the name suggests, you could get in a relationship with several bachelor/bachelorette at once and if you get caught by another npc that you have relationship with, just like in real life if you get caught cheating, you'll paid the price. Add some more spiciness and uniqueness into this game Cons : [*](This one is fixed in My Time at Sandrock) You can only pick 1 commission per day and you can't improve it further whatsoever (your biggest source of income early on in the game). [*](This one is fixed in My Time at Sandrock) In some instances, you need to equip the resources or material in your one of your quick bar slot that only have 9 slot to finish some task. Like early game Assembly Station (to build something) , Cooking Pot (for cooking), and some missions that requires you to place the one you've already build at designated location.Basically you need to open your inventory and shuffle things up back and forth every single time. [*](This one is fixed in My Time at Sandrock) Your backpack inventory, your storage box and your factory storage box are not interconnected. And again you'll need to transfer them manually back and forth [*]This game has more than hundreds if not thousand different items. Sorting them in different storage boxes and sifting through them all when you need it is nice and all, but I wish this game has search function to search an item(s) in your inventory and storage boxes. All in all, for the sake of story continuity definitely play this game first before Sandrock. Because if you play Sandrock first, it feels so hard to go back (at least for me).Definitely recommend this game. Buy both of this and Sandrock. And this game always on deep discount here and there on any Steam sales event. 7.5 / 10

I think a simple way to tell you how much I recommend this game is the following: my mom, wife, and I all got obsessed with it, and we're all very different gamers. This is a phenomenal game! Can't wait to try out Sandrock.

My Time At Portia Review Our game takes place in a town called Portia. After creating the character we control on a simple creation screen with options that are not very detailed but very suitable for the texture of the game and giving it a name, we enter the town. Portia is the town where our character's father lived and died. We have a workshop here from our father. After meeting all the residents and introducing ourselves in this small and cute town where we first came from the outside world, we get the necessary permissions from the municipality to run our workshop and thus the story of our game begins. The world of the game is actually a new post-apocalyptic world, there are dangerous factories and buildings left over from the old modern times around the map. In a sense, the producers have built a utopia on the destroyed modern world. This cute and small town, which lives on agriculture and animal husbandry, has taken the place of the old civilization that was regrouped and destroyed by technology. Throughout the game, you find pieces and disks left over from the old civilization while digging in the mines. You can use these pieces in your workshop and make useful tools. Choices and Results There are two sides in the game that represent science and beliefs and have very different views on the old (modern) civilization. One of them is the church and the other is the scientists. The church absolutely rejects old technology. It claims that the modern society that lived and disappeared in the past caused great harm to nature and itself due to technology and that all kinds of objects and tools left from that society should be destroyed and that this way we can protect the town and nature from the same fate. The scientists in the science workshop of the town think completely the opposite. According to them, the remains of the old civilization can help us with very useful inventions and innovations that will make life easier today. They think that we should research and evaluate all of them. With your arrival in this town, these old technology pieces somehow turn into new inventions that will help the townspeople. The game structure will not force you, on the contrary, it has an entertaining gameplay. Especially the music does not bore you, normally the game music playing in the background would bore me after a while, but I did not feel this at all in my time at portia and although I have a habit of turning off the music from the settings after a while, I did not feel the need in this game where I spent long hours. Return to Father's House Our aim in My Time at Portia is to improve our relations with the people in this town we have just returned to, which is our father's house, and to help the town develop by producing in our workshop. At the same time, we are trying to be the first in the competition between workshops in the trade guild in the town. After each task you successfully complete from the townspeople, the town also develops and you see it with your own eyes, for example, when you build a sprinkler and irrigation system for a townsperson's field, his field is now watered with that system. Or when you manufacture dee dees and stops for transportation in the town, these are always permanent. There is a world that changes and is affected in real time as a result of the tasks you complete in My Time at Portia. I must admit, despite the many positive comments I have read, I had a prejudice in the beginning due to the childish graphics. I said, I am faced with a simple game that is made to entertain small children and does not appeal to those over the age of 9. However, as I played the game, its immersive structure and detailed gameplay gave way to curiosity and wondering what will happen the next day after the first few hours. You have a calendar in My Time at Portia. This calendar occasionally adorns your crafting and resource gathering routine with very fun activities. This is actually the part of the game that appeals to players of all ages. There are constantly festivals, celebrations and competitions in Portia. You can register and participate in these events, and if you are successful in the event, you can buy special items from the markets special for that day. This event traffic never ends throughout the year, so you are not stuck in the cycle of constantly producing something in your workshop. You are curious about the next day and the new tasks or events that will come. In this way, the game keeps the player's curiosity constantly alive. There are many things you can do in Portia. You can help the townspeople by taking daily tasks from the Trade Guild, or you can take your pickaxe and collect resources in the abandoned mines in the town. You can kick big trees and try to make apples and honey fall, hunt pink llamas that you cannot bear to hit and collect their fur and meat. You can improve your house and workshop with the gold you earn, learn more complex designs and produce them. You can increase your health, attack, defense, etc. features by placing items you find or produce in your home and workshop. In this way, you can decorate your home and garden according to your own taste. You can build structures such as coops or barns, raise chicks, ducks or cows and buy their meat and milk or raise and sell them. Portia is a World Living with Seasons with a Day/Night Cycle Portia also has a day and night cycle and a seasonal cycle. The game is recorded daily and only automatically saves when you sleep. Other than that, you cannot save the game externally. You have to finish all your work by 03:00 at the latest. After 3, your character faints and you wake up to a new day in your bed. The game also has features such as marriage and having children. Your relationships with the characters in the town increase as you talk to them, give them gifts or finish the quests you receive. Participating in events in the town is of great importance. When you participate in these events, your relationships with all the townspeople automatically increase. In addition, many events give you resources, ores and items as gifts. So be sure to follow the events on your calendar, these festivals also open the in-game cinematic scenes, you can find the number of these cinematics in the tabs on the character screen. In My Time at Portia, you will spend time collecting plenty of resources and producing new tools in your workshop. In the meantime, you will need to deal with the town's problems and do the tasks they need. The game's Turkish support is your biggest helper in understanding the crafting system, which may seem complicated at first. Being in Turkish is also a great advantage for young players to understand the game. The things you will need most to develop your workshop in Portia are data disks. Data disks are CDs as we know them. Although they have largely been replaced by portable USB sticks today, these data disks were the things that the ancient civilization in the game stored the most information. We can collect data disks while digging in abandoned mines. When you take these disks to the scientists in the town, they research the data in them for you and give you new tool designs that you can produce in return. Thus, your workshop develops, you can process more ore and produce different tools. If you take these disks you find to the church workers, you can buy some products from their market in exchange for the disks or you can deliver them to destroy the disks and get gold in return. My suggestion is to definitely collect these disks from the beginning of the game and take them to Petra. Petra will decipher the data in the disks and give you the designs of new tools that you can produce and need to do the tasks in return. That's all I have to say about the game Thank you for reading, I hope you learned about the game, have fun!

š š My Time At Portia š š is an enchanting life-sim game where you rebuild your workshop, cultivate relationships, manage a farm, and explore a vibrant post-apocalyptic world. The game offers a myriad of activities: farming, crafting, mining, fishing, and even dungeon crawling. We have a lot of unique characters, each with their own stories and quests. I really like the ,,relationship building'' with the characters in this game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3176126707 The art style is colorful and inviting, with a charmingly environment that bring the world to life. The graphics are beautifully and cute, creating an immersive and visually appealing experience. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3166006233 For me, the soundtrack complements the atmosphere, adding a layer of warmth and comfort to the adventures. Gameplay is both relaxing and engaging, with a mix of exploration, resource management, and combat. Sometimes it can get a bit grindy. Seasonal festivals, adorable pets, and customization options keep things fresh and exciting. Later you can ,,transmog'' your clothes too. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3175521060 The controls are intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the game with kb+m or gamepad. Whether youāre upgrading your workshop, interacting with the townsfolk, or delving into ancient ruins, My Time at Portia offers a captivating escape that promises countless hours of fun. Its rich content and heartwarming charm, this game is a must-play for fans of life-sims and RPG genres. And for archievement-hunters, you can get up to 91! archievements, some are easy to get, others dont. You will need 80+ hours to complete everything, but its worth it. I rate the game a good 7.5/10 in this mixed genre. If you like my review, you may also like my curator page! I would be very happy for a followā¤ https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43807398/

Its an okay game but it feels like it lacks the depth and magic of something like stardew valley or spirit of seasons. The gameplay loop can be frustrating, the combat is janky and the progression is poorly balanced which turns the late game into a massive grind. A large part of my time I spent mostly idle, or fishing since crafting times are frequently several minutes long, and fishing is one of the best money making method even far into the late game.
