    The game takes place long after civilization has been destroyed, where humans have emerged from underground and begun rebuilding society. The goal of the game is to expand the city of Portia and become the best builder.

    This is a great game. In the same vein as Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) and Animal Crossing. Probably more so Story of Seasons. It is open world. Not sure if it is technically a farm sim game though it does have some aspects of them such as crops, raising animals, mining, and fishing, but it has a lot more to offer. There is an over arching mystery about what this world is and how it came to be what it is. I will say that the loading times are a bit long, but I will give it some slack because it isn't exactly super action packed where it would totally ruin your flow. And it was funded through Kickstarter so it isn't some big super popular game. But if you like farm sim type games, I would suggest you check it out.

    Already one of my favorite Switch games.

    I'll start of by getting this out of the way, the switch version suffers frequent lag when chopping trees and fairly long load times. That said the overall experience has been fun, basically being a 3D Stardew Valley with an emphasis on crafting rather than farming since the story is themed around it. If you are unfamiliar with the gameplay style it mainly consists of supporting yourself with odd-jobs while building relationships with the villagers. One of my favorite elements has been the runs diving which consists of tunneling for relics while occasionally fighting monsters.

    If you like open world game with building your game world this is a must have to try. Similar to BoTW but your building in the game and adventuring at the same time.

    This game is the PHYSICAL copy of My Time At Portia. Pros: Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley Type Calm Game Ok for Kids. Massive Depth. Cute Graphics. Cons: The game has longer than average loading times. Physical copy is more expensive than digital.

    I was skeptical buying this game after reading about load times and bugs. But I'm sure glad I bought it, with patches to fix load times and bugs, this game is super addictive. I cant stop playing it, so if your not worried about a little wait time, I would say go ahead and pick this game up, I dont think you'll regret it.

    Love this game. Easy to understand after playing a few times. Enough things to do to keep me occupied. Only things I do not like is after it gets to be a certain time in the day (in game) you pass out no matter what task you are doing and wake up in bed.

    Very entertaining. Kind of like a more realistic, slightly more to do but budget animal crossing. Great fun game but the graphics leave a little more to be desired.

    The game is fun, once you finish waiting for it to load. The loading screens are the worst part of this game, and they take a very long time every time you move from one menu to another or one area to another. The game looks great and the gameplay is smooth, but those loading screens....

    It's a good game, I'm still waiting for the update for the voice overs. I'm happy it came to the Switch and PS4. It was originally release on Steam, I look forward to more updates coming to the console versions.

    The game is very well designed, as far as things to do and ways to progress your character. It would be perfect if the load times weren't so rough and the characters designs were more appealing.

    This game reminds me a lot of stardew valley, but 3D. I love games like this. At times it is a little sluggish, but not to the point of being unplayable.
