My Time at Sandrock

The game isn't bad But I would warn against buying this game if you are seeking a multiplayer game with a story this isn't that game. I was disappointed to find out there are two different versions of the game for single and multiplayer. The multiplayer version has none of the main story quests that are included in single-player just the sandbox world with none of the story.

I picked up this game to scratch the itch between finishing Stardew Valley and going as far as I could in the Fields of Mistria Early Access. This is my first My Time At series game and I have to say; I freaking loved it. This game isn't a traditional farming/ranching sim. You're literally helping rebuild a town using the ruins of an old world destroyed by technology and hubris. I won't spoil too much, but this simple little game was much deeper than it appears. I'm genuinely excited for the next game Evershine!

this game is riddled with strange bugs and horrible design choices. I'm extremely surprised the devs have left such simple, core bugs in the game this long and they are already working on the next edition so I doubt they will be fixed. They also have an in game chat filter that is unhinged. Can't type nearly any sentence into the chat without it telling you it can't be said. Without telling you what it's trying to filter. For example you can't say the word 'tonight' at all. While it isn't an issue for most, I'm in a position where in game chat is the main mode of communication. In addition sometimes when closing the chat with controller after typing on keyboard, the game completely freezes. Happens one a half hour or so. Have to relog to fix. The core game is fun but wtf is wrong with these devs

9/10 Ever wonder what it would be like if Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon actually had a good story—where everything in the world feels interconnected, kind of like the Trails series? If that sounds like your thing, then… THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU. You start off as a humble builder trying to help rebuild a dying town. It starts simple—doing easy commissions—but before you know it: there’s a spy in town, the church is secretly evil, an invasion from another country happens, there’s a low-budget evil Superman running around, and suddenly there's a bunch of political drama out of nowhere. IT’S JUST SO PEAK. I LOVE IT.

I love this game so much. I played Portia before and loved it so I was truly excited to play this one. It really exceeded my expectations! I was/am OBSESSED. The NPCs are great. The storyline is exciting. A great Game!!

Fantastic game. There is so much to do in Sandrock that you could never get bored, this is by far the pinnacle of this type of game, for now. God bless

When I first started this game, I met this cowboy-looking fellow who insisted to me that he'd never received a single gift or handout in his entire life. Since I happened to have some spare jerky, I decided to give this man his first gift ever. He said to me that to call it "good" was an overstatement and to call it "bad" would be overreaching in the opposite direction. This is how I met Cooper, my favorite character in the game. The main story is really fun with lots of twists and turns. I love how this game has the balls to have three key characters betray the town and then be removed permanently (this also might be a decision tree, where you need to pick three characters over three other characters about midway through the game, to balance the town friendship upgrades.) I also found it entertaining that the most efficient way to make friends with people in the early game is to say hello and then whoop their butt in the arena each day. I recommend only romancing one character per playthrough. I romanced a botanist and a character that was later revealed to be a fed. While the game does let you have multiple girlfriends at once, things kinda fall apart at marriage (sorry, you can't build a harem - I tried.) When I married the botanist, the fed sent me a seething letter in the mail and it reset our relationship to associate. I didn't mind because I get a kick outta feds suffering but the consequences of having more than one relationship is something to keep in mind. Also, there's apparently a "caught cheating" metric where even just juggling multiple girlfriends and avoiding marriage could be problematic. The minor gripes I have about this game are related to the item descriptions (learning to toggle on item descriptions will solve like 90% of your early game confusion). However, there are a few descriptions that are a little to vague for me. Instead of telling me an item can be found by "log", "quarry", or kill a monster, how about including where on the map? You'll eventually memorize where everything is but you'll spend a while wondering around. I still haven't figured out where Yellow Lavender grows - as far as I can tell, you can only get it through a gift in the mail. Also, the finale of the game is a bit of a letdown. Everything leads up to a certain six star commission and once you build it, you sorta ride around the map and the mayor tells you the story's over and it's time to feel sad now. Like, Lady, I haven't even gotten married yet and I still need to clear the final dungeon. Also, that's the one and only time you'll ever have a reason to mine nano material. Your endgame workshop will be able to crank out 6 star commissions in a single day but they never give you another 6 star commission again. However, the bottom line is I highly recommend this game. The real climax is when you launch the main villain into space about 75% of the way through, which is fantastic and awesome. There's also heists, hijinks, and intrigue along the way.

my time at portia was so ugly, but i still had a lot of fun with it although the longevity wasn't that great. but this game? i was obsessed with it once playing 110 hours a few months ago and now im back onto that horse. i think its hilarious, incredibly fun, there's a lot to do honestly and the townspeople are written wonderfully. and the story? insane. i love this game.

If i could only recommend one game to people for the rest of my life , I would 100% tell others to play MTAS. (well for now until Evershine comes out, might be some competition ) I completed the game once already on Xbox GamePass (PC) , which is on there for free currently , but I love it so much that I came and bought it on Steam . 1. I love achievement hunting and there's more to get than on gamepass. 2. I wanted to support the devs by buying the game itself . 3. Gamepass takes games off , and I refuse to not have this game ready to play. The game itself is so immersive , you will literally get sucked in and before you know it youve played HOURS . The game itself fully completed it like 180+ hours so there is PLENTY of things to do from story to side missions . Which being said the story that is written for this game is hands down amazing. VERY well written , the story line , the lore , the plot twists , dramatics of it all . Truly a solid 10/10 game if I do say so myself. The characters are also written beautifully , and designed beautiful too. The bachelors and bachelorettes themselves are so so diverse in their own personalities and in their own stories . Personal romance scenes prior to dating , while dating , and marred have all so far been excellent . SO sweet, literally some of them got my heart skipping a beat. This game has so much life to it . character customization is done well too. The building , combat , farming , animal husbandry , the (sand) fishing. Festivals and mini games I mean there's just so much you can get done . There's inside jokes , the humor , I catch my self smiling and laughing . got me kicking and swinging my feet . Like it is just top tier gold some of the things that are said in game. The quality of this game is just amazing I really can not express my love enough . Truly obsessed I will admit. The MY TIME series really nails it when it comes to this genre of games, and the community of people surrounding it and the devs are all great as well so a wonderful bonus added on top.

This game...is one of the best "farming" games minus the farming part. Instead of farming, which you can still do, you explore and mine. The characters are great and I love them all, the story line (omfg the twist I was shocked at and even my 4th time around, I try to pick up on it but nope, done too well). I don't have a single person I don't like....minus one person who I just...ugh.... Other than that, the outfits are great, the humor is top tier (SO MANY INSIDE JOKES, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) References and just an overall great time. The beginning is slow but that's done on purpose if you've never played a "My time at..." game. You learn by exploring and figuring things out which is great and things are not too difficult to manage. This game has helped me in one of my dark times and it's such a great game, please you guys need to try it.

So much fun! Enjoyed the story line, characters, and game play mechanics. If you enjoy games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, I would highly recommend this game!

although i initially had some trouble trying to get into 'my time at portia', i love, love, LOVE 'my time at sandrock'. it can be a little intimidating at first, trying to get your head around all the mechanics of it, but please persist! i've played nearly 100 hours of it now and i don't think i'll be stopping soon. the gameplay itself feels so rewarding; getting to see the dilapidated town of sandrock, filled with people on the verge of defeat, flourish into a bustling little travel hub is so sweet and heartwarming. tl;dr: try this game out!!! i was so pleasantly surprised by it and i will 100% be keeping an eye on the game studio's next project!

The characters in this game have incredible depth, they practically feel like real people! If you played My Time At Portia, this game has huge QOL improvements while maintaining that same feel. This game has completely ruined me for other games with how fun it is as well as how it makes the things you do feel impactful. You can literally watch as the things you build help transform the town for the better over time!

Portia, with better graphics. Also-SO MUCH story content. I thought I was half way through then found out I am only 1/4. Its adorable, at moments funny and there is some dark to it...and turns out more then one double cross!

I wasn't really into it, it was overwhelming and there was too much to learn. Nearly dropped it. Then someone said to stick with it until the stage is repaired and turn the speed down to .6 in the settings. So I did and it helped a lot, by the time the stage was done I had found my groove and it became really fun. I'm glad I stuck with it. Slower speed made getting stuff done way less stressful and allowed me time to just do whatever I wanted.

I never replay games, and after finishing my first playthrough I immediately started a new save. Amazing story, amazing characters, and hilarious dialogue and interactions between characters. Shout out to the Justice/Unsuur banter that kept me laughing the whole way through.

I love this game so so much! It's in my Top 10 games of all time! I adore it so much, i keep coming back to it over and over, starting new saves and enjoying it all once again. I hope my hours played speak for themselves, thanks for the My Time team for making this game<3

I liked My Time at Portia but that game felt a little half-baked. I feel that this game is the same way. I don't think that this company cares about producing quality games and only wants to make money because they never improve the previous games. I did enjoy the first one but I wish they improved the quality of the first one instead of creating a new game that featured the missing features for the first. Now, they are making yet another game in this "franchise". If you like the concept of this game or my time at portia, maybe wait for the next game cause it might actually be more baked then the last two.

God I love this game. I had a hard time committing the time in Portia, but this easily got me and continues to keep me entertained.

This game does everything its predecessor does, but better. Many of the systems in game have been updated and made more user friendly. Very impressed with what has improved in this game. Overall its a very fun game. Would recommend.

There's way too much going on right at the start of the game. I feel like i'm rushing from crisis to crisis and then i get a terrible review from a guy who literally dumps his work on me. I don't have time to do commissions. I don't have time for anything, really. I admit I don't play many life simulation games, and this is probably why. Also, the nacho libre wrestler who works for the church is the definition of a world class jerk.

I'm OBSESSED with this game. I've already bought all of the DLC, and now I'm waiting for My Time at Evershine. All of the My Time games are absolutely amazing. I love how unserious the quests can be, not to mention the perfect balance between being funny and also being serious when it's called for.

i love the my time games. this is no exception. lotsa fun and challenges for all types.

I really love this game. It’s so easy to sink a bunch of time into. The story is so weird but I still really liked it.

Fun. Has all the good elements of casual game, the story, the crafting, decorating. Some things are annoying to grind for but slow down the day progression and it's easier.

I really enjoy this game, it's the perfect unique take on the usual farm sim style everything is going for today. Farming is not really necessary if that's not your thing, only if you want extra money through commissions and such. The voice acting is great, and doesn't feel rushed nor forced like some games come across. I'm used to games with no voices, but i actually enjoyed it alot! There's plenty of story, and you can't rush through it, its very dense and fun. The artstyle is what put me off buying originally, but it's definitely grown a fondness on me. It's what stopped me buying Portia too, which honestly i still haven't. This one felt like a massive improvement in that aspect though. Character's are fun! but make sure to decide who you want and be certain. I didn't really find it a game to make multiple saves for different romances. Too tedious and long. Overall definitely recommended fellow builders! :D

The writing in this game is incredibly smart and funny which is something I was expecting from a game like this. Sandrock has an INSANE amount of content packed into it's single player campaign and it runs flawlessly on steam deck. Was expecting to play it for a handful of hours but haven't put it down since starting

Super super fun, goofy, and surprisingly big game. Basically, if you liked Portia, this one is an upgrade in almost every aspect. There's some cool lore to explore as well! Lots of lovable characters and a nice story to follow. A few bugs here and there but most of them were pretty funny graphical bugs so I didn't mind much.

I normally dont like farming games but this game is amazing! Story is great combat is fun i love the fact you can have relationships and even have children! I'm not sure how far I am in the story but I wish the map was bigger (maybe I haven't unlocked the whole map yet) they should add a way to tell off Yan (he is a garbage NPC)

My Time at Sandrock isn’t just a game, it’s a whole world I fell into and didn’t want to leave. I love the characters so much I could tell you each of their quirks like they’re my actual neighbors. They’ve got personalities that stick with you, stories that tug at your heart, and little habits that make the town feel so alive. Every time I play, it doesn’t feel like I’m just farming or crafting, I feel like I’m going home.

I playing game like this. enjoyable and a lot of stuff you can do in this game. the story is enjoyable and unexpected too

I enjoyed every aspect of this game, great graphics, amazing story and even better characters.

So close to the perfect game fro me. I don't care about multiplayer though

played through the whole game on switch, now enjoying it with a couple mods on steam. such a good game, can't wait for evershine. pathea games really gets it

A really delightful game with a lot of character. I'm looking forward to their next one.

Much better than Portia, the multiplayer is a ton of fun!

It's fun, I've yet to play with friends but I'm sure it's even more fun that way

The story is genuinely so fun and different from things like Story of Seasons. The lore of this world is intriguing and can get pretty dark. I love the town mystery. The western theme is so great, the landscapes are so pretty. Been playing it nonstop for like, two weeks. Also I did encounter a camera glitch once, had to restart the game. Beyond that I've had no technical issues. ((Thanks to certain Tumblr artist's obsession with Pen for getting me to play this looool))

I have been obsessed with this game. I have over a hundred hours and moving quickly but still haven't beaten the main story line, let alone all the side quests and things. It's a really fun simulation game with an actual plot which has been fun. I was actualyl surprised at some of the plot twists (some of them I saw coming). It's been really fun! Would definitely recommend, at least for solo playing (I haven't played multiplayer but I have heard there isn't much of a story and it's more of a sandbox world).

This is one of my all time favorite games. So much to do, and unlike many games of this genre it has a wonderful and intriguing story line to follow and that gets you invested into the world. I love that it isn't solely centered around farming, but also has crafting. I love all the NPCs, they all have their own distinct personality that makes Sandrock such a fun game to explore and play. If only I could play it for the first time again, my life heart would be so happy.

Great game with better updates & gameplay than Portia, really like it +1

Enjoyable game. Great graphics and questing is fun

Beside the grind and clunky combat game is about 7/10 it took me 3 tries to get in to it but it was worth it, specially the npc interaction and the place changing when you progress in the story.

To be honest, I was debating about getting this game. Until a certain bandit got my attention and that made me get it XD. Overall, this game is very fun, few bugs every now and then. Can't wait for the new game to come out soon!

My Time at Sandrock has ruined me for other games. Everything about this game was satisfying, including when I had a glitch that required me to send my save file to the developers - they fixed it immediately and sent it back to me! The characters were heartwarming and had well developed personalities. The dialogue was often hilarious. It is the kind of game that you mourn when finishing. I cannot recommend it enough.

Truthfully, in my humble opinion, this is one of the best cozy games out there. It has something for everybody. I think the combat, while simple, is interesting for a cozy game. There are different weapons you can fight with that change your fighting style. The mining is very satisfying and I appreciate that you really only focus on mining for materials. The map is rather big and I haven't really ventured outside of Sandrock yet. I want to commend the NPCs and the writing there because they feel like people living in this world. They have fun quirks about them and, in general, feel more fleshed out then I've seen in other cozy games (or games in general). There are decent amount of romancable options and they all seem rather interesting. There's everything to love about My Time at Sandrock. I would highly recommend grabbing this, either for full price or when it goes on sale for half every so often.

Great game for non stressful game. one of my overall favorites.

Once the grind kicks in, there's no stopping. This game is awesome and there's so much to do! Love all the diverse character stories and personalities, makes the town super charming and immersive. Got the game on a whim over the weekend and haven't been able to stop playing since. 10/10 yeehaws, Sandrock great.

Slow burn to start, but a great game once you get into the meat of it.
