User reviews & Ratings

First of all, I love this game. I've racked up hundreds of hours across several playthroughs, so I feel qualified to make my first ever review. The game itself is pretty simple at first. Collect resources, take commissions and build up your workshop. But as the story gradually unravels and you begin to befriend the residents of Sandrock, the true game begins. I'm a writer myself and love the way the characters are distinct with personalities and quirks of their own. Their reactions to the many and varied happenings in the story line are all kept within character while still allowing for growth. The voice acting is great with only a couple of notable exceptions (I'm looking at you, Arvio and Grace. Yikes) I would have liked a little more variation on everyday speech from spouses, but understand that there are limitations to that sort of thing. There were moments when I cried laughing the first time I played. Unsuurs flat monotone perfectly suits his character and to borrow a phrase, his particular brand of weirdness is endearing, I found his whole storyline hilarious and heartwarming. Justice with his unintentional puns had me chuckling, and even Coopers rants made me laugh. The story line is balanced with wins and losses and overcoming adversity for everyone. (Almost) Everyone gets a chance for personal growth and/or redemption and it doesn't feel forced or rushed, but naturally unfolds over the entirety of the story. The game isn't afraid to laugh at itself, and there are easter eggs and references to various other games and pop culture galore. Now, onto the the not as great parts. Some things in the game felt unfinished or not particularly well thought out. Decorating your home and workshop is great, but the tiny amount of options available really limit what you can do. Some of the items are story locked or not available unless you romance a particular character. I would have loved more options for decoration other than books or the very few objects that can be only be placed on very specific items of furniture. Why can't I place a lamp on a table? Or use furniture for storage? Why is the mysterious man only available once a season with only two furniture chests that can repeat the contents far too often. I don't need any more flippin' yakboy stools thank you very much! I got six in a row once. That was super annoying. The fashion is um, unique? As you gain levels the clothing gets more and more ridiculous. I know you have the option for a skin, but really? Running around town dressed as a rainbow dinosaur kind of spoiled the immersion for me. Most of the gear seems aimed at a male builder, I would have liked a simple dress or two to pad out the wardrobe for my female builder for festivals, dates, etc. Like, I know my character is a kickass, builder/civil corp member/warrior, but maybe she'd like to feel pretty sometimes too? The DLC's offer some more options, but only a few. I guess my only gripes with the game, is that I just want more of the game. lol. None of my complaints are a deal breaker though, the storyline is rich, deep and entertaining and ultimately satisfying. The twists aren't particularly surprising, but do add to the story rather than detracting from it with surface level shock value. The controls are mostly intuitive and don't take long to learn, and you can take the game at your own pace. There is plenty of replay value, exploring the romances with the available bachelors and bachelorettes and getting to know the various characters you had little to do with on your previous playthroughs, and with over fifty characters there is always something new to learn. This game is one of my favourites and I'm eagerly anticipating the next game of the series. 9/10, Have already bought it on multiple platforms and upgraded from a laptop to a PC to make the most of it.

I've put well over 1000 hours into this game, including Steam and XBox, and it remains one of my all-time favorites that I keep coming back to. For me, it is the perfect balance of a compelling story, layered characters, interesting and funny dialogue, and relationships, paired with the perfect resource gathering, mining, fun combat, and construction elements. Pathea is an amazing studio that truly cares about their players and puts so much love into all of their games. I can't wait for My Time at Evershine!

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.

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.

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