Game becomes pretty boring once you have infinite stamina due to dried apples and fishing is quite broken in terms of money making, overall the general balance is a bit odd at times. Also not a huge fan of the progression system and how unrewarding exploring is, you often face strange invisible walls if you go too far, idk why they have to break the players immersion like that. Some invisible walls you can climb straight up and get to weird places you shouldnt be at but for some reason they initially dont let you break into the tree farm, there is no reason to have an invisible wall near that first mining area, just let players explore ffs, not like they are going to get filthy rich if they enter the tree farm on their first day.
Combat is also not really a challenge since you can pause at any time to eat to full health Skyrim style and you can just button mash your way through absolutely everything since there arent really any unique weapons. The dungeons are also lacking and have no random aspects which could make them interesting.
I think it is good the game has a time setting so you can change how fast the day goes by, Stardew Valley should cut themselves a slice of that! Also not enough waifus.

I tried completing this several times but always quit after year 1 or 2 when I lost interest.

Oh my goodness, where to start?? The story lines are wonderful, the game play is smooth and open. I am in mad love with the horses and the rainbow llamas! You get attached to the characters, and really can feel like they are your friends and family. LOVE this game!

At times it can be a little clunky, but beyond that, the game is chock full of charm! If you like Stardew or other cozy farm/life sim game, Portia is 100% worth checking out!
