Look, My Time at Portia is a perfectly nice, pretty game, but it suffers from a severe case of "Older Sibling Syndrome." It walked so its sequel could sprint. If you are a die-hard cozy game fanatic who needs to inject every single crafting simulator directly into your veins, buy it. You’ll have a lovely time. But if you’re a regular human playing this today, the entire experience is going to feel distinctly... off. Playing Portia now feels like trying to build Ikea furniture while wearing oven mitts. Controls are pure, unfiltered jank, and the resource grind is less "relaxing weekend hobby" and more "unpaid internship for a town that can't manufacture a basic brick without your divine intervention." The real problem is that My Time at Sandrock exists. The sequel takes everything Portia tried to do, does it a thousand times better, fixes the clunky controls, and adds actual soul. Buy Portia if it’s on a 90% off sale and you want to see the historical ruins of the genre. Otherwise, skip the green pastures, accept that the desert is superior, and just go straight to Sandrock.
I came to Portia after completing Sandrock. I also completed Portia. I do like Portia but I LOVE Sandrock. Both games share the same core gameplay, which I found enjoyable. Portia is just a bit more grindy, requiring a lot more attention from the player early game. I found myself enjoying the extra challange but I can see players getting overwhelmed and frustrated with the lack of QOL we had in Sandrock. QOL improvements do appear later once you max your equipment. Once you get the factory the game becomes a walk in the park. IMO the biggest gap between both games is that Sandrock had an engaging story from start to finish, charismatic characters and LOL moments throughout the game. Portia has some interesting moments but the story only picks up in Act 3. NPCs are "okay, just okay". Humor is sprinkled here and there, few and far between so the dialogue came off very bland. That said, I found the mines and fishing more enjoyable compared to Sandrock. I'd suggest buy this game on sale if you want to enjoy more of the builder gameplay. Otherwise I'd just go straight to Sandrock of you want more story.
This game looks cozy, but it really isn’t by default. My Time at Portia is an efficiency and progression game disguised as a life sim. You can play it slow, chill, and make it cozy and farm, socialize, decorate, take your time but progression will be very slow, and you will miss out on a lot of advantages. The game heavily rewards planning, early tech unlocks, and good stamina management. If you don’t optimize at least a little, everything just takes longer. You’ll always be grinding for materials and juggling stamina while chasing commissions and story deadlines. Progression unlocks new zones, machines, and systems, and you can visibly see the town change and grow as the story moves forward, which makes your work feel meaningful. The characters are a big highlight. NPCs are charming, relationships matter, and befriending people gives real gameplay perks. The setting is post-apocalyptic, but handled with a light, hopeful tone that keeps things warm instead of grim. If you enjoy efficiency-focused games like Factorio, Satisfactory, or Farming Simulator, this will probably click. If you prefer slower, more traditional life sims like Harvest Moon-style games, you can play Portia that way, just expect slower progress and more friction. Pros -Satisfying efficiency & optimization gameplay -Town visibly changes as you progress -Charming characters & meaningful relationships -Post-apocalyptic setting with a lighthearted tone -Strong sense of long-term progression Cons -Very grindy -Constant deadline pressure -Stamina limits can feel restrictive early -Cozy playstyle is possible, but heavily inefficient TLDR You can chill but Portia really wants you to optimize. Great if you like planning and progression, less so if you want pure relaxation.
I LOVE this game. While this is supposed to be a "play at your own pace" kind of game... It's not. You only get so many hours (minutes) each day, and even when you adjust game speed, you still have to plan ahead by days or even weeks, in order not to miss anything. Each day seems like a rush to get things done until near the end of the game. You also can't just save. Your game only saves at the end of each day, so make a mistake at the end of the day and need to start over, and you start the entire day over. The characters are really amazing, and I have played it through several times. My first play through I picked Ginger as a wife sort of at random. Then I learned her back story, and she was so relatable, I never went with another romantic partner in any other play through. Small spoilers here, so skip to the next paragraph if you don't want to know. Ginger is sick, and can't be in the light very much. There is an event each year where gifts are dropped from a balloon and everyone tries to grab them. Even though I had max reputation with Ginger, I realized that she could not participate. So I got her gifts. That is how much I liked the character. I felt bad for her, and wanted to make this make believe person happy. That is because her story is done so well. Other characters are going to appeal to different people. I think there is probably someone for everyone, and their stories are fantastic. People complain about the fighting mechanics, but I never had an issue with it. I like to build things, and build up a base without having to fight things off in some sort of war, so this was great, as you start with a tiny plot of land and grow it to be huge and filled with things. However, you are in competition with another builder, so there is a drive to do it better faster, without fear of losing what you have built. Overall I love this game, and recommend it to anyone who enjoys this kind of game.
In times like this I wish there was a neutral option for recommendation. My Time at Portia is tragically almost good. There are many aspects that are fun and implemented in an interesting way, however they pale when compared to many other aspects that end up being a complete drag. It really feels like this game tried to be everything and ended up being fairly mediocre at all of it. The building mechanic is fine, even if it is inconvenient. The farming and raching is basic, there's not much to it. The ruin exploration is straight up boring, and quite unbalanced in terms of materials gained. The combat is bad and boring -- it's not even hard, it's just a stunlock fest, be it from the player or the enemies. Interactions with NPC's are very surface level. Be it friendships or romance, it leaves a lot to be desired. It is also quite obvious which NPC's were the ones which were given more love (you can figure it out by looking at the DLCs). Even if said characters are given more love, the voice acting is quite strange sometimes -- many lines fall quite flat, or don't have the intonation that one would expect in a given situation. There's plenty of story cutscenes that simply do not have sound of any kind, be it sfx or ost. It's just silence. The animation is clunky and a bit awkward. The upside is that the devs learned from the mistakes they made in this instalment. The My Time at series is very good overall; if you're planning to play all of it: I recommend you start with Portia and then move on to Sandrock, which is WAY better. The upside is that you will get the entirety of the story. Playing Portia before Sandrock isn't necessary, but it will fill in some gaps that would otherwise be present.
