My Time at Sandrock Review

[@mytimeseries]

We're over the moon that you enjoyed Sandrock! We're particularly excited that you highlighted romanceable characters and their side quests~Wishing you and all our players a fantastic time in Sandrock! 🤩

[@simonepon]

Love Sandrock and Portia! So happy to see you guys doing more titles!!! Please keep it up and keep going ❤ Can’t wait to see what’s up from you guys next

[@Bookish1995]

@Sh1ft3r1 what on earth does "exceptible" mean?

[@Corefish1]

@Sh1ft3r1 dude lmfao

[@BenkaiDebussy]

Sandrock is the first "life sim" game I've been able to enjoy. It also has a really unique perspective on a post-apocalyptic setting.

[@hisprincessprincess4916]

​@Sh1ft3r1 it's actually switch's fault, the team is doing everything they can to fix the game

[@JonathanOber]

The Switch port suffers greatly from pop in, stuttering, long load times, and graphical issues like floating characters or npcs getting stuck in walk animations.

[@naimfebruary9913]

They fixed it now

[@somebodyoutthere1931]

So no change on my time at Portia then?

[@PierceTravels]

I've played both pc and switch and have had few to no issues moving to switch Draw distance certainly is less but not a deal breaker for me at all

[@stellarhyme3]

Get a steam deck.

[@pikolowet]

It is actually lots of fun and the game is super pretty on PC! It really shows that they what they were doing and why they were doing it. I'm loving every minute of it!

[@PrettyGuardian]

Their growth from My Time at Portia to My Time at Sandrock was tremendous.

I'm currently playing Portia after always thinking it won't grab me. But dang it, I love the game, it's so addictive and fun. So happy to play this after that and then hopefully Evershine at some point.

[@m.di.c.]

Unsuur is best boy. You have taste ^^. I'd like to highlight the excellent voice acting when available.

[@Tenshi_ZA]

People have been saying the console versions ain't the full game. Is this true? Partially true?

[@karinmaehara8717]

Theres missing end Game content, Like having children, Over 20 romance quests, greenhouse etc. Source: Reddit In terms of the next update, we're facing a bit of a dilemma. Ideally, we'd love to swiftly address the current issues, roll out a patch, and fix everything. However, we've got some exciting new features on PC-such as the baby system and newly added NPCs side quests-that we're eager to bring to consoles as soon as possible. It's a delicate balance of priorities. If we concentrate on fixing everything in the current version, it might postpone the arrival of the new content. On the other hand, resolving all issues together would be the optimal scenario. Therefore, addressing some of the current hiccups might need to wait for the new version.

[@g.e131]

Welp, that just helped make my decision on not getting it. (PS5) Thank you for letting me know! It was either this or Coral Island. Coral Island it is.

[@Tenshi_ZA]

@@g.e131 oof! Coral island is way more buggy and incomplete than sandrock

[@rotolotto]

​@karinmaehara8717 wow, that's shitty. Console players already had to wait a lot longer to begin with

[@hughmann9568]

​@g.e131 you will still have fun regardless. These games are usually made by small teams. Give it some time. That being said.... don't release games til they are done. 😡

[@Acemancello]

What the heck, coop/multiplayer is an entirely different game 😂

[@Hannes12.8]

Yes becours they whoud just be unable to do the main story it woudent be fun if one person mines and the others always triggers cutzeans

[@bsw4245]

yeah, after clearing a playthrough, the conflict could grow to a much greater problem than just a simple life sim, It wouldn't surprise me if one of the my time series games turns to be a full action games. there's barnarock, tallsky, vega 5, highwind, and the odds high for Ethea since they were reported to be targeted by the opposing nation

[@gwelengu]

This is a great review, however IGN should really give their employees better mics, it’s a bit echoey

[@james441]

Why does this sound like one of them KZbin game reviews from 2009

[@JMGauthier]

Crappy recording setup at home.

[@xOKuronoOx]

Well now we got minecraft boxing a cactus and we got My time at Sandrock for kicking a cactus.

[@GiaMansani]

this game is a 10/10 for me

[@tatienouorest3358]

Better than harvest moon

[@traceyxxrose7454]

By far

[@sladey21]

Harvest poo

[@hughmann9568]

Take it easy. Harvest moon walked so the whole genre could run. Respect the og. Don't have to like it. The "seasons " games have been lacking lately sure. I'll give you that. More mobile game than console.

[@bsw4245]

be respectful this game could happen cuz Harvest Moon series did the ground work stardew valley, this game and any other game on this genre by far referencing to HM at some degree.

[@knkaitlog]

the latest harvest moons were poop

[@LuLi-w7o]

What a joy of a game!

[@christinastone-z6r]

Can you put it on your pc?

[@nowai5986]

The score is 8.

[@soulman3696]

Better than my time at Portia??

[@przemog88]

Yeah, after playing with Sandrock it's hard to go back to Portia, as many gameplay mechanicks were improved. For instance now when you construct something on assembly station you no longer need to hold materials in your hand, you just need to have them in your inventory.

[@andrewkeshan8649]

Way better. Many many improvements in my time at sandrock

[@RodVR2807]

How about the performance on Xbox ? Can someone confirm ?

[@taproot12]

It's holds a nice 60-50fps with some micro-stutters on quality mode. On performance mode it gives you a smooth 60fps all the way.

[@kabelstekker]

Alright cool! Now, Epic Games, put this game in your weekly free rotation like you did with the first one. Thanks!

[@natbvm1880]

Definitely better than Starfield

Now if only it could run on the Steam Deck at a decent fps

[@traceyxxrose7454]

It does… lol. Did you ever bother with the optimal settings ?

8/10

[@pensukatheknight]

i'm just waiting for the release of the PS4 version in a few months

[@nicoflores9728]

The game aounds interesting but the combat being so basic is sounding like a deal breaker to me and the main campaign cant be done with co-op like stardew valley

[@bsw4245]

it's their second installment on this genre, I'm impressed by so much things that has been improved from their first game, I'm expecting the third or fourth installment to be their first peak on this genre, hopefully there's more since on this Sandrock they introduced potential threats for another potential games

Two different games - two different reviewers - scores don't mean anything without context.

It's almost as if, they are two entirely different games of different genres and being reviewed on those basis?
