My Time at Portia

after 300+ hours of grinding, 58 achievements unlocked (and still counting), I can say that My Time at Portia is such an amazing game. the crafting, exploration, and progression loop kept me hooked for so long, and building up everything from scratch was incredibly satisfying. it's one of those games where all the effort truly pays off✨ I really love how relaxing yet addictive the gameplay is, from upgrading tools, exploring ruins, building relationships, to slowly completing the museum collection. it never felt boring even after hundreds of hours, which says a lot. also it's a bit disappointing that there are still 3 empty relic slots in the museum, and it seems like the developers won't be adding any more updates🥲 overall, I still highly recommend this game. definitely worth the time and all the grinding. next stop: My Time at Sandrock!!💜 ps: I'm currently stuck on the "Well-Rounded Warrior" achievement that requires using all the tools in the vending machine inside deepest ruin. I couldn't use everything in a single floor, so I tried using them one by one instead, but the achievement still won't trigger. honestly, I don't know what I did wrong and it's a bit frustrating 😭

Engaging, pretty fun even came from the next game in the series

I enjoy this game. I like cozy games and this fits the bill.

瑕不掩瑜 为我留下很多美好记忆 差评仅献给黑马喽支持者

While a credible game, it's not particularly groundbreaking in the genre. The mining mechanics are interesting, but once the tunnels are built they aren't particularly navigable--which is a shame. Doubling back through the tunnels to reach another closer relic is incredibly satisfying. Jet packing into the ceiling for 30 seconds is not. The fishing mini-game is likewise decently engaging. Plenty of different characters to meet--though I am absolutely going to complain about the seven identical twins. If you aren't familiar with mandarin, let me enlighten you: their names are Eldest wu, 2nd wu, 3rd wu, etcetera all the way to 7th wu. I'm also not sold on the queer coded character being obsessively vain, we can do better than that. Or the over the top valley girl accent on another. It does appear that there are some more thoughtful family dynamics amongst some of the NPCs, but I'm generally stuck wondering if this host of flawed characters were scripted beyond those flaws. Kudos for the full voice cast. This would probably all be fine except the game play loop just isn't quite right. The beginning is building machines to process materials for more machines to process more materials. Which can work for a zen experience, but not at this speed. Moreover, I've already run out of room for said machines. It feels like someone shoved a pay-to-win mobile city builder in the middle of a farming sim. And it's a bit light on the farming. I believe I needed three machines and several hours before I could create a planter box in which to plant seeds. Maybe it gets better as you sink more time into it and get a sufficient stockpile of mined materials, but as of the first 8 hours you are just building machines to make machines. Final gripe, the task board is way to hard for early game. Tasks ask for six of something you just managed to get one of after an in-game week. Low-level tasks should be asking for raw materials instead of competing for resources with mainline quests.

this game is so good I like it I played 50 hours and its super good

I liked the game play.
