It took me a long time to get around to getting this game because, to be frank, I just couldn't handle Portia. There was a lot wrong with Portia that turned me away from looking at this one and it turns out that was a mistake. They improved so much, they listened to the problems and made changes and made things better. The characters are better, the designs are better, the wait times for your resources are so much better and you can play at your own pace without your rivals picking up your slack and making you feel rushed (which was one of my problems with Portia as well) and the art style is so much better too as in Portia the character's wide eyes stared into my soul and kinda scared me. but i digress as this isn't a review for Portia. Sandrock took what they made with Portia to a new level and I loved every moment. In fact my ADHD butt usually never completes a game. I think I have only made a large game like this to completion once every couple of years as most games I get bored of and move on to a new game after a week or two. There was enough to hold my interest, the story was inviting, the characters were fun, the romantic options gave some great choices especially making me work for one of them and that one being a really great option. There was also enough to do that if i got bored of one thing i could explore, mine, take commissions, talk to townsfolk and a huge amount of side stories to keep me interested between all the main missions. I don't think since I have played raft I got to feel a little hollow spot where a game was filling now that I am done. The only down side was that leveling got a bit grindy at the end there but that happens sometimes. I suspect that like everything else they improved on with this game they will improve on that with the next one. The game was worth it and the only good thing in waiting for so long to actually get into this one is that maybe I won't have to wait too terribly long for Evershine to fill that little hole finishing this game has left in me. The down side is the kickstarter for Evershine is done and for the first time I might have been into supporting one. I will just have to wait until release date to give all the support these developers deserve for working so hard and giving me a great experience. I will be here on the edge of my seat waiting for you. And heck, I always wait till things go on sale but I think for the first time I will most likely pay full price for the next game.

Personally, I will put My Time at Sandrock in a league of its own, if I compared them to any other Cozy/farming sims games I've ever played. I easily clocked 200 hours playtime in less than 2 months, it's a little bit "addicting", immersive and engaging to say the least. The quality of life update this game got compared to Portia, makes it even better as a sequel. Pros : [*]Basically a refined version of Portia, this game take cozy/farming sims game genre to a whole another level. It's in 3rd person perspective. You can build and expand your farm or workshop, build and construct your house/workshop from the ground up. [*] Unlike Portia (or most other cozy/farming sim games), You can save anywhere and anytime you want. It's not restricted to saving your game when your character go to bed only. [*]Immersive experience. Interact with the townsfolk, the town, and the environment, and watch as things around you develop and change over time. You can take a commission(s) from the townsfolk each day, rebuild the town, make friends (and of course you can get married), fight and/or befriend mutants, grow crops or raise animals if you wanted to (neither are mandatory), there's still a jealousy game mechanic, mining and dungeon, fighting monster & other opponent like an RPG games, upgrade your skill tree, and much much more. [*]This game got so much quality of life update compared to Portia like: - You can take more than 1 commission per day. - You don't need to put material on your quick bar back and forth when you want to build something on your assembly station. - Your backpack, storages, and late game factory inventories, mostly interconnected. [*]Graphics/Visual/Art style is vastly improve compared to Portia. The townsfolk character design are good/look more lively. [*]The Story surprisingly good and engaging, at least for me. It took me 300 hours with 0.6 game speed to complete all Main and Side quests (including post marriage quest, having 2 kids, etc.) [*]Compared to Portia, in this game your children can grow up, up to school-age child Cons : [*]You have less social interaction with your own baby/child compared to Portia. Like you can't pet them or take a group photo with your spouse and your children simultaneously. [*]Photo mode in this game is a little bit frustrating sometimes. You can't take an actual "group photo" like in Portia. And like I said above, you can't take a group photo with your spouse plus your children either. Of course there's no special pose for a group photo, because the group photo feature is not available to begin with. [*]Another frustrating part of photo mode is, when you enter photo mode, the game doesn't automatically pause the time, you need to manually set them, and missed your best shot/scene you want to take along the way. Yes, you can enter photo mode with the time automatically paused, if your character do some action like punching, running, etc. [*]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. Anyway, for the sake of story continuity definitely play Portia first before Sandrock. Because if you play Sandrock first, it feels so hard to go back playing Portia (at least for me). Definitely recommend this game. Buy both Portia and Sandrock if you could. And this game always on a discount here and there on any Steam sales event. 9 / 10

The perfect cozy game. All the other games in this genre can have you feeling alone/siloed, with no real reason to interact with townies. This is the ONLY game I've played that made me feel like my character was actually part of a real community. It's also the ONLY game in the genre where it felt like the quests I did actually had a real, lasting impact on the world and the people that live in it. 10/10. I wish I could play this game for the first time again.

Sept. 2024

This game is an improvement on My Time at Portia in literally every way, and My Time at Portia is a damn good game.

April 2024

I really enjoy the game, but I do wish there were more clothing options like dresses, and more furniture options. I also wish you could put furniture on rugs.
