Possibly more addictive than My Time at Portia. I haven't finished the game yet, but the story so far has been engaging. I don't (usually) feel overwhelmed with activities. Days where multiple events can occur at once are an exception. A lot of features have been improved on (eg: you can repair things/build on the assembly station/turn in commissions without having the item(s) in your hand or backpack; so long as they're in your inventory at home, you're good to go). The only thing I find myself missing from MTaP is a piece of furniture like the reclining chair that refilled your stamina bar super quickly. I'm sure that if I went looking for a mod like that, I could find one, but I'm enjoying the game enough on its own to not have any interest in modding my first playthrough. The townies are delightful, and fun to get to know. None feel like copy/pastes of each other. Getting to be friends with people in the game feels rewarding, and earned. Also, the romance is kind of blowing me away. I've been pursuing Owen, and it's been cool to see him return my interest and even plan activities on his own. It doesn't feel like I'm just buying affection or interest with gifts. Doing the story missions and slowly getting to know the people in town naturally has made the developing relationships feel much more authentic. MTaS is funny, with the same sort of humor and charm that I loved about MTaP. This is the epitome of cozy gaming to me; this series has so much heart, I can't help but adore it, even when it's not always perfect. Good game, very fun, would make heart-eyes at Owen again.

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.

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.
