Early Access Review
I almost refunded this as I misread the title as "My Time IN Portia"...

Joking aside, this game has been touted as "A better Stardew Valley" and "A mix of Stardew and Harvest Moon"... Well, forget about that and treat this game as it's own thing. Yes they're similar to the 2 aforementioned games and it's also similar to Yonder Chronicles. But to compare this to those 3 will do My Time At Porta a great injustice.

The first couple of hours can be quite overwhelming, the grind is real and there were points I almost gave up. But once you get the hang of things and you start to create your own circle of material gathering and building, this game quickly becomes one of the most relaxing games available right now.

The graphics are cute, the characters have their own personalities and the animals/monsters are adorable. Put this together with the soothing audio track and comforting scenario and you have the perfect game to wind down to.

I could continue going wax lyrical but the fact is, this game is still early access. There are frame drops, minor bugs. But nothing that's so noticeable that it annoys you. I, for one, am lookin forward to what this game will be like at full release. There's a lot of promise and I hope the devs take notice of this and of all the feedback.

Oh, and there's fishing too!

I appreciate your insights! It sounds like the game's charm really shines through despite the early access hiccups. Excited to see how it evolves!
