“A refinement of their earlier work in "My Time at Portia" - the graphics are better, the interface is better, and the story is more interesting. For those who have not played the previous entry, this is a combo of…”

“Great game, but it doesn't know when to quit. The first 3/4 is awesome - cool places to find, fun missions, and bosses that are decent (though Souls vets won’t break a sweat). Everything feels 'measured' and rewarding.…”

“We bought the game for co-op, the game does not work properly. In the co-op, stories and plot are cut out, as well as many interesting game features and events.”

“I’ve put 180+ hours into My Time at Sandrock and really loved it. The world and characters are great but the longer you play, the worse the performance gets. After a while, the UI becomes painfully slow. Changing areas…”

“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…”
— a player, Steam review · 125 hrs played“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…”

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…”
