Having performed My Time at Portia, I used to be curious what this sequel, My Time at Sandrock, could be like. It’s fairly comparable if you’re aware of the primary launch, besides you’re in an Oasis desert city.
You arrive in Sandrock, alongside together with your builder rival (of types), Mi-an, to turn out to be the brand new builder on the town for the reason that outdated one is retiring. You get a house the place you craft and produce supplies to progress the story and fulfill commissions. Just ensure to not chop down bushes as a result of that’s unlawful because of the lack of vegetation within the space. Throughout your time in Sandrock, you will notice needed posters for the mysterious Logan, study these lizard individuals referred to as Geeglers, and possibly discover real love.
The gameplay is mainly operating round accumulating supplies, fulfilling duties, and exploring. To get these supplies, you may harvest from scrap piles utilizing your pickhammer, palms, and axe, kicking bushes, and attacking creatures. There’s hardly any downtime, and also you’ll hardly ever get bored. The sport can really overwhelm you, particularly in the event you’re specializing in the principle plot (like I used to be), and immediately Commissioner Yan reminds you that no commissions obtained achieved and your repute is low.
I saved to myself principally and progressed within the story, however as I obtained to know the townsfolk, I grew keen on Unsuur, Owen, and Fang. Something that’s nice on this sport is that, in contrast to a collection like Harvest Moon, you may romance older adults slightly than simply younger adults, and there are fairly just a few choices. Not all the characters have been attention-grabbing, however I appreciated the contact of voice appearing to assist breathe life into the characters. The music can also be very nice to take heed to.
The largest problem with My Time at Sandrock is the standard. While there’s a variety of amount, and I really feel there’s a variety of coronary heart put into it, there’s a loopy quantity of pop-in and bugginess with the graphics. Some of the character fashions look uncanny or ugly. One character specifically, Matilda, usually T-poses as they stroll, which is form of amusing since she’s the minister on the town. But I do know it’s not on objective.
Overall, My Time at Sandrock is an honest sport that could possibly be nice with some additional polish. If it will get one other patch, $39.99 is a good worth, as there’s heaps to discover on this giant, addictive sport.
