Very Stardew like, only real difference is no farming and animals but other than that it has that Stardew feel Just cosy, nice, romance options and easy to get into
unlabelledView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know this is a beloved game in the cozy games community, but i cant get into it. The game feels unfinished and rough. The world, the movement and just everything in general. Wouldn't buy this unless its on sale, sorry TvT
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My #NintendoSwitch2024 Year in Review! I played a lot of My Time at Portia when I was unemployed this summer. 😅 Octopath Traveler II was my favorite game that I've played this year! ❤️
unlabelledView post →This is one of those games I desperately wanted to love. On paper, it has everything I usually enjoy: a cozy post-apocalyptic setting, crafting, relationships, a charming art style, and that slow-burn “build a new life” promise. The community loves it, the reviews are glowing, and everyone talks about its heart and potential. I went in fully prepared to agree with all of that. And honestly? I really tried. I gave it time. I pushed past the awkward early hours, told myself the systems would…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers have a very bad habit of not fixing old bugs... which is why, despite me actually enjoying the game I can't recommend it until they get better about this. This is a problem for their other games too, they drop support to work on a new project despite some bugs causing straight up crashes... it's scummy and bad. If you want to give this game a try please wait until it's super on sale cause it is NOT a $30 game. Bugs/Major problems I've seen: - Crashes. It didn't happen a ton on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun fact time, if I'm playing a cozy farm-sim style game a la Stardew Valley / My Time at Portia / Story of Seasons, I have a go-to OC. Meet Rae Starling~! #art #oc #peonidraws
unlabelledView post →I can't say that I haven't enjoyed this game; it's really slow but in a way that can be kind of relaxing. The reason I cannot recommend this game is that it's just so buggy. It freezes every so often, it's clunky, it feels unfinished, and I could honestly look past all of it except that this game has been crashing nearly every other time I attempt to play it. An in-game day lasts almost an hour. How many days can you get to the end of just to lose all of your progress before it just isn't worth…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was my first cozy game. To be honest, I had always been a little hesitant about the genre because I dislike routine and endless repetitive tasks. What convinced me to give My Time at Portia a chance was that it looked more exploration-driven than farming-focused. And, at first... it absolutely worked. The soundtrack is beautiful, the world is charming, exploring new areas felt genuinely rewarding, and slowly uncovering Portia, meeting its quirky residents, discovering new mechanics, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dont mean to yuck anyone's yums but also how tf is My Time At Portia as big of a game as it is. it feels like a knockoff wii game from 2009
unlabelledView post →Don't get too excited. The game? My Time At Portia 🤣 (I only played for 33 minutes before going back to Sandrock 😅)
unlabelledView post →So My Time at Sandrock, really cute game and it fixes some of the nagging issues of My Time at Portia so definitely I'll do a couple more streams of it Cute, chill, scratches that Stardew itch and just a lot of fun We'll get more in this week once I've fully recovered!
unlabelledView post →I've been playing this game called Ooblets and it's basically a cross between Pokemon, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, My Time at Portia, and a card deck builder lol. You get Ooblets by dance battling other Ooblets. It's cute and hilarious. 😂😂😂
unlabelledView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →P.S. The new game I'm playing is Portal Knights. So far I really dig it (pun intended) but I've just started. It's much better to me than 'My Time at Portia' which put me to sleep immediately lmao
unlabelledView post →A friend of mine praised My Time at Sandrock, so I thought I'd check out the series where it started. It's got charm, the music is alright and the main missions have a fair pace to them. However, the way items are managed in this game is missing some serious quality of life improvements (that aren't end-game only), the combat feels pretty bad (and is mandatory) and every NPC comes with the same "Lights are on, but nobody's home" type of vibe. All of which wouldn't be that bad if you wouldn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With My Time at Portia, I actually gave the game two chances. The first time, I played for many hours. Then later I started again because I really wanted to see if maybe I had been unfair to it the first time. But unfortunately, I ended up feeling exactly the same. The beginning is exciting. You create your own character, enter this open world, build your own life, get to know the townspeople, form relationships, grow stronger and slowly have an impact on the region around you. On paper, that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thats a wrap on My Time at Sandrock. This was the perfect cozy game to play while I dissociated from life. Marrying Logan was an A++ choice 🥵 I liked this one a lot more than My Time at Portia (& I really liked MTaP). The characters & town were a lot more lively & the story was sweet. Very fun game!
unlabelledView post →Cute graphics and seems pretty relaxing, but unfortunately it constantly crashes on Mac. Like other reviewers have noted, it seems to be tied to play time, but as there is no way of saving prior to reaching that time, you just lose all progress for the day. I guess racing back to your bed (and save point) before your timer for the next scheduled crash might add a bit of excitement to the gameplay, but that's really not what I want from a cosy game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Platinum Trophy #31: My Time at Sandrock A very underrated Life Sim game for sure. The quality of life improvements over My Time at Portia leave me excited for My Time at Evershine in the future.

unlabelledView post →I just like his character design, I think. So early in game I don’t even know if this would be in character or not. Doodle of Gust from My Time at Portia #mtap #mtapgust
unlabelledView post →Rating this game is tough. In a vacuum, it’s a worthy title. It can certainly hold itself against the other games in the genre. The problem is, Sandrock exists, and is fantastic — light years ahead, despite having a similar user score. So I’m hesitant to bridge the gap even more with a positive review. As a compromise, I’m giving Portia a thumbs up, but using the review to blast this game and glaze Sandrock. You know, in case someone actually reads it. Let’s start with a positive, though.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dudes, I cannot put down the My Time at Portia/Sandrock games. I'm afraid I'm wholly addicted. I closed the game 4 hours ago just to go to the bathroom and immediately reopen it. The vibes in this world are immaculate and even though Yan can eat a dick, everyone else is so cool! #MyTimeAtSandrock
unlabelledView post →Most of the game revolves around waiting endlessly for in-game craft times to run. You'll be sat for hours just to make 5 panes of glass... the tracking is poor and the achievements look like they need multiple run throughs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is incredibly boring with an empty yet grindy start. I was running around doing trash gathering and digging away inside a generic and lazy mine. My brain felt mushy and baffled as how this game received such colourful praise. The nicest way I can say about this game that it is probably it's not for me. Just go play something else, Stardew Valley, Coral Island, Field of Mistria, Sun Haven. LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Immersive" is a deranged description of this game. Everything from the visual presentation to the voice-acting is jank as ♥♥♥♥. The UI looks like it was made for an iPad tablet game. Presley's voice actor uses an audibly different microphone half-way through his dialogue. The protagonist just abruptly says "Yeah." and "Yup." Quite frankly I think this game is only enjoyable to the easily entertained, it's actually baffling how nobody has pointed out these things.

unlabelledView post →While I do love this game and had began playing it as addictively as I did with Stardew Valley, I can’t recommend this game at all. This game saves only at the end of the day and doesn’t have an autosave, which is hugely problematic because it keeps crashing. For a game with crafting that's on timers and has you racing across the world map to complete tasks, it’s ridiculous that it doesn’t let you manually save or autosave. This is apparently a big problem and because of the game’s age, it’s no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4 out of 5 stars First time played and completed was in 2020 (pandemic game). After 200 more hours, I finished My Time at Portia again, and thanks to my ADHD-addled brain forgetting everything, it was like a whole new story to me. lol Did I remember Huss & Tuss? Ursula? The Rogue Knight? The All-Source? Defeating the Rats? Nope, not a memory in my head but "Ugh, why did I marry Gust?" Rest assured, he didn't get the Husband treatment this time around (Mint did, however). Portia is,…

unlabelledView post →My son tried for ages to convince me to play My Time at Portia or My Time at Sandrock...two of his favorite games. I bought Portia, but only recently started to play, and I'm addicted. Plus...I'm about 45 hours in, and he tells me I'm still early game. Great value for the money.
unlabelledView post →1) My Time at Portia (PS5, Platinum Trophy) After doing three long Atlus RPGs in a row at the end of 2024, I needed a break. I originally wasn't too interested in this game when it first came to my attention years back, the art style was a big turn off for me. But after Lyss (cont)
unlabelledView post →I've had this game in my library for a long time... I should have played this game sooner, honestly. I've heard so many good reviews about the "My Time at" series, but I was tempted to skip straight into Sandrock. I'm glad that I didn't. I really enjoy Portia (quirks and all!) and I imagine I'll have plenty more hours on record as there's still so much left I can do.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There seriously need to fix the optimization issues. It crashes constantly and you lose your progress because you can only save by sleeping in your bed... For a game that makes you grind to progress, this is really frustrating...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Time at Portia is one of those rare games that completely pulls you into its world without you even realizing it. What starts as a simple workshop-building game slowly becomes an incredibly charming life sim filled with memorable characters, satisfying progression, exploration, crafting, farming, dungeon crawling, and surprisingly emotional story moments. There is always something meaningful to do, but the game never feels stressful or overwhelming. The crafting and workshop system is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun crafting game, but I need to stress this is not a dedicated farming sim. Farming is a part of the game, but you are a builder/crafter in this game. Now there's a lot to see, a lot to do, and even a skill tree thrown in there with various action combat styles. My initial one line review would be "Good, but mileage may vary due to how the game handles its mixture of systems." There are flaws dotting the game here and there. Nothing game breaking, but I would say the best way to enjoy this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, this game isn't suitable to be sold as-is. It is absolutely overrun with bugs and issues, which is sad, because the game itself is quite good. The deal breaker for me is that it constantly crashes with no warning, no acknowledgement, and no ability to manually save. My game has crashed every 30 minutes or so, even after I've done troubleshooting, fully restarted, etc. When it crashes, it looses all data from the in-game day and there is literally no capacity to save until you go…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyable, perhaps unexceptional. It tries to keep its focus on the community but in the end you've got to be here to enjoy feeding extracted resources into machines.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🎮 Eek! So...I thought I'd play My Time At Portia on my Switch (great game, ama right? 😜). It looks like it has a few game bugs when I progressed to a certain point (...me, crying in the corner > 😭). I love this game 🥹 hopefully it gets patched! 💜 #nintendoswitch #mytimeatportia
unlabelledView post →Coming from Sandrock, Portia is hell. No, thank you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I started with My Time at Sandrock, and it's still my favorite so far, so I had to give My Time at Portia a try. I can definitely tell that Portia was the first game in the series, but the improvements made in Sandrock are impressive. I'm really looking forward to My Time at Evershine!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game I've owned as soon as it was on Early access, and followed since the Kickstarter but Only Just finished recently, between life and just wanting to wait for the more complete project it's taken this long to circle back to. But it was worth, in spite of the jank, the lack of polish the occasional element that feels a bit unfinished, its a fantastic game. Even many of the most criticised elements I find, fine, I like the fishing, I think its a lot more tactile and rewarding compare to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game has me so hooked. the gameplay loop is addictive, and it's nice to play a "farming sim"-type game where farming isn't at all the main focus. it's got some jank here and there and a lot of the voice acting is... not good, but overall a good time, especially when it's bought on sale. my only real issue is unfortunately a big one... the game crashes — and i've seen other people report the issue from years ago. i had it crash multiple times in one evening. i saw someone give a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played this before on PS4 (and got platinum), and I remember disliking a lot of things, replaying this, they really are irritating lol. Now, with mods here on PC, this is a 100 times better experience. Also, having playing Sandrock, I would say get that, they fixed so many issues this game has. TLDR: Play it with mods, trust me, get more trees, save anywhere, store from anywhere, make machines work faster, etc. The game is a HUGE grind (especially at the beginning), unfortunately,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Time at Portia is such a charming, feel‑good game. The world is colorful and relaxing, the characters are memorable, and the crafting loop is super satisfying. It’s one of those games that pulls you in with its cozy vibe and keeps you playing “just one more day” over and over. Pros: • Cozy, colorful world that’s easy to get lost in • Addictive crafting and building systems • Tons of quests, relationships, and customization • Relaxing pacing with lots of freedom Cons: • Some…

unlabelledView post →It took a long time for me to get into this game because of the goofy graphic but tbh it's probably on the top of the list at the moment when it comes to my favorite farming sims. Mining was fun, loved fullfulling comissions and annoying Higgins, seeing all the machines at my workplace doing their thing was satisfying. Befriending people here takes a LONG TIME especially with characters like Ginger, but i loved how the more you befriended certain characters you also gained friendship points…

There are many characters your character can marry and same sex marriage is an option. Your character can have two kids. You can have kids via adoption. Mining and fishing are fun. There's combat. There's a free angle camera so you can look around. You have a rival. There's auto sort and auto sort into existing stack options when transferring inventory. You can custom color many things in the game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**I’ll pass.** Honestly, the world and overall concept seem really cool, but the explanations are an absolute nightmare. The game does a terrible job of teaching new players how anything actually works. You’re constantly asked to build things you’ve never built before, with basically no guidance. *“Build this. Good luck.”* Items aren’t properly explained. Your character’s health isn’t properly explained. Even basic things like how to store your inventory somewhere instead of throwing items…

unlabelledView post →It's honestly a very minimal game. Def not worth the price, even at $5. The NPCs don't feel very alive, the grinding is a little annoying with how big the map is (grinding can be fun in open-worlds like in BOTW, but it wasn't here), and the gameplay is not very imaginative. It's also very unfortunate that one of the main mechanics early-game is smelting materials in bulk which takes several in-game hours. It makes taking on the first few commissions stressful rather than fun. The main town…
