My Time at Sandrock

This is a solid gathering and crafting game, different than Stardew Valley in several ways, with some interesting mechanics. The skill tree system is interesting, though not as beneficial as some other games. The museum implementation is interesting, in that you put items together to make recovered items. You can then keep, use or donate the items. I have about 40 hours into it so far and will certainly keep playing. There are three minor complaints. The first, and most annoying, is that cut scenes are long and they decide when they happen. The worst is when you are shutting down, after sleeping (saving), and on waking up are confronted with cut scenes that force multiple dialogs on you. (Hint: Manually save, then sleep as the first thing when you come back to the game. Also, avoid getting too close to unusual groupings of people until you are ready for their quest.) The second is that the NPC builder is annoying. You are just wanting to play the game, and she is always finishing her half of tasks at the same time as you, with perky enthusiasm about you being a team. It's a imposed RP that feels forced. The third is that the in-game "church" feels very culty, and is a mandatory aspect of the game. I have no issue with the Sandrock themes, like saying "Conserve Water"...that's amusing and fitting. And I have no issue with there being that church; again, the culty nature fits and is frankly not theistic. But the fact that your civic missions become cult-church missions can get annoying. I'd give it an 8, and the complaints above don't detract from the score--just the experience.

Very few games have managed to emotionally resonate with me the way this game has. The only other two being the FF7 Remake series and FF9. I struggled to enjoy Portia at times, as the map felt too big, too empty, and every task felt too grind-y. The characters in Portia lacked a lot of depth and the end game felt strangely nebulous and almost unfinished in a way. From the moment I started this one, I was hooked. My first playthrough I literally gasped out loud multiple times, and my husband would find me sneaking out of bed to paly it, because I just needed to know what would happen next. I cannot speak more highly of this game. Clearly Pathea learned a lot from Portia to Sandrock. I just finished a third playthrough, and I don't think it will be my last, as I still need to pick up the DLC for this one. This is one of the few games where I feel like it could have simply continued on, with regular updates, and I would just play forever. I want to be excited about Evershine, but I must admit, I don't know if it will be able to replace Sandrock as the best game in the series.

Que maravilla de serie las My time at... Es que son perfectas. Hay cambios de juego que me gustan y otras que menos, pero esta super guay

Great game! Worth 13 dollars on sale!

Очень нравится своеобразный постапокалиптический мир с очень понятным сюжетом внутри, не без внутренних тайн! прохожу после My time at Portia, оказавшись просто влюбленной в атмосферность, геймплей и персонажей! Особенно нравится гладить якмелят^^ Серия игр полностью поселилась у меня в душе!
