I love this game. BUT, it has three HUGE problems: 1. It requires a lot of power to run. Even my RTX 4070 laptop struggles with it. I prefer to play on my PC but even then I have to keep a fan on me because the PC turns into a space heater. 2. It crashes a lot. On my brand new laptop with all Windows updates, drivers updates, and even BIOS updates (the latter did fix a more frequent crash issue). On my desktop it lasts longer, but it does crash too often. 3. It doesn't automatically save often enough. It feels like the type of game that you wouldn't have to save very often, and that lulls you into a false sense of security. When it inevitably crashes, you open it again to find that you've lost two hours of progress.
The premise of this game is you are a builder helping rebuild 300 years after the apocalypse. That pitch is what got me to try My Time at Portia. In Sandrock they looked at what worked and what didn't in Portia, polished the former to a shine and reworked the latter. The characters in this game are great. Even the ones that are supposed to be 'bad guys' I can't help but find charming. The world feels bigger than what you can explore. With news, visitors and returning characters coming in from city-states beyond Sandrock, it feels like an incredibly in-depth world. Like they've already planned out a world-spanning story and we're only seeing one chapter. That said, you do NOT need to play MTaPortia to play this game. The events of Portia will be referenced and hinted at, like Portia did for Sandrock, but it has its own self-contained story. One last note for those that played MTaPortia and found it frustrating that they gave you the choice to use firearms but pressured you not to use them: the church in Sandrock recognizes that this region is dangerous and will not pester you for using guns if ranged combat is more your style.
I left a longer review a few minutes ago. It is a fun game to play, but it appears devs are now fully focused on their next game and no longer fixing any issues in this one. Several dangling items left undone (recipes given but never appear, Love Chronicles dlc not as well integrated as hoped, some events out of sequence, bugs unfixed). Nothing major or game breaking, but enough to make me grumpy when I encounter them.
If you're looking for a life sim that focuses on gathering and crafting instead of farming, it's hard not to recommend My Time At Sandrock. It does some things better than Portia, but man is it a long game. At first you'll be very busy just gathering supplies, befriending townsfolk, and slowly building your workshop. But there's a reason that only 16% of players make it to the halfway point and only 8% of players actually finish the game: it's a slog and to say the pacing is poor would be generous. It takes a crazy amount of time for new areas to open up and main quests to trigger. I finally completed the story after 182 hours and nearly half of that was spent sleeping the days away in the morning after completing daily commissions, just hoping that the next day would trigger a story event, a way to open a new area, or anything to break up the monotony of late game. Still, there's no other life sim on the market, that isn't centered on farming, that does the genre this well. The writing is passable, the combat is very simple, and each area feels slightly different (when they finally open up, at which point you'll be so over leveled that there's no challenge). Every aspect is enjoyable until it becomes tedious, except "fishing", which I put in parentheses because it's not actually fishing, but rather a terrible little minigame where you throw a metal claw in the sand to grab fish. So, sure, I recommend My Time At Sandrock if you're tired of the Harvest Moon formula of life sims and don't mind bad pacing. Just be aware that, while it's not a bad game and there's fun moments to be had, it's way overhyped.
I feel a bit mixed right now. While Sandrock is a lovely game with a lot of care obviously put into it, there are a few things that hold it back from being one of my all-time favorite cozy games. For one, it took me 3 tries to even get into the game because it's very overwhelming at the start. I don't know why on my 3rd attempt it just clicked for some reason and I played obsessively, like hours at a time, to the point I didn't even want to stop to eat. And then I realized I was only 1/3rd through the story at 50+ hours... and the person I wanted to romance wasn't even available yet and still wouldn't be for a long time... so I stepped away from the game. Played a few other things. Realized I really wanted to continue the story after all, so I came back and put in another 10 hours, only to barely make a dent in said story. Honestly I just can't do it anymore. I know some people can spend hundreds of hours in one game but I just can't (unless it's Persona or Xenoblade). I prefer games to have a solid 30-50 hours and then move on. So I guess this review is just a counterpoint to all those gushing over the game who have 100+ hours. Yes, it's a great game, and you will get value for your money. But in my case it's just too long for me to get to the stuff I actually want to see and in the meantime I'm too burnt out to continue. Maybe I will try again someday, who knows.
