The loading screens were janky but bar that, I had no issues and have sunk hundreds of hours into various saves. I definitely want to get Sandrock on switch but might wait a little bit first. Plenty of other games to fill the void ahaha. Also while I wait for Slime Rancher 2 to come out on a device I have OTZ lmaooo

    The PC performance is MILES above the switch version. I bought both Portia and Sandrock during a steam sale for 42 bucks total and I think it's totally worth it for the incredible amount of content. I opted to start Portia first so I get all the lore and so far I'm doing well. It is a bit more difficult to find things in the mines in Portia than in Sandrock, and I'm hoping I get better at mining soon because you absolutely have to mine. In Sandrock, the only combat around your workshop is actually the Alpha Yakmel and the Rocket Roosters. Everything else is neutral until you get to the Rockenyarolls, which are pretty easy to avoid. The mine combat and Geegler combat is easy if you are properly equipped. Basically, the switch versions of both games are unplayable to me, but the PC versions are scratching all my itches :)

    I played portia on the switch and while it wasn't too bad for me personally I know others had problems. I was waiting for sandrocks release on the switch but because I'm in Australia I was waiting longer but it showed up on ps5 before the switch and much cheaper and I bought it there instead and I'm so glad I did. It looks gorgeous on the ps5
    I'm sure I'll buy it on the switch when it's on sale but gosh these graphics are rough

  • @starhope97
    @starhope97 8 місяців тому +6

    I'm playing it on Steam Deck right now and it's running really well. I have it on medium graphics and capped at 30fps, and it's running smoothly. I haven't had the bugs you described yet, like the descriptions for items not showing, so they must have fixed that (or it's only present on the Switch version). I'm a few hours in and really enjoying it so far. I don't mind that it's a little grindy; it's nice and relaxing, in my opinion. The biggest plus for me compared with My Time At Portia is being able to save whenever you like! I barely played MTAP because I really didn't like having to play a whole day at a time. This is much more accessible for short play sessions. Definitely give the game another go now it's released fully and has been patched, and definitely play it on PC/Steam Deck over Switch for sure. 💜

    I played 50 hours on PC and if you can pick between the two devices, I highly recommend this game on pc. You have to progress in the game to reap the benefits of the atmosphere, as the game clearly states from the beginning that the town is in hardship, but more and more of the world comes to life as you go on and the grind, though apparent, is pretty fun to me. It doesn't feel like too much of a grind, especially if you are familiar with how portia games are and how to time manage (a personal weakness of mine lol ). Farms do make it feel less deserty, which I needed cause I don't like the desert lol
    The characters are so much more full than in Portia (and I did like Portia). I have not encountered bugs on PC other than a graphical hiccup here and there (EA), but heard it's rough on Switch right now.
    You do need several different machines, if not multiple of the same type (to avoid the grindiness somewhat).
    Mining has always been my fav. Portia did it amazingly as well. Sandrock did this more interestingly because you see more places and find pockets of battles. Those, nor the explosives were there much in Portia.
    You can have animals at your shop, really cute ones, and you can interact with them and have horses, etc.
    Can't say anything about combat, it's fine enough and not too overbearing but meh. Nor how the switch works with it lol I didn't care for controller with this game so that would drive me crazy. Inventory management is quicker with mouse and (as also someone who is chronic) really wish it was better with controller.
    I hope this gets better on the switch. I really love this game and wish more people could experience it as it is. but I can imagine it's hard to deal with u.u

  • @inkygreen
    @inkygreen 8 місяців тому +2

    Ive played mytime at Portia and mytime at sandrock and my time at sandrock has alot of quality improvements over Portia. The story moves faster than in Portia, there are quality of life improvements such as not having to equip items in the quick bar to build on the assembly station and being able to take more than 1 commission at a time once you advance enough, the graphical improvements (for Pc). I love the lore they've built on from the last game and the cutesy apocalypse setting. I think the biggest thing about it being grindy is valid. But I was used to Portia being grindy (and worse at that) its biggest pros (for me) is the unique aesthetic in the farm sim genre, i feel like it stands out more against typical cozy farm sims. And the fact that its not actually a farm sim. But it still plays like one mostly.

  • @AlexDayz
    @AlexDayz 8 місяців тому +3

    While I haven’t player Portia, Sandrock does definitely seem to be an improvement over its performance on Switch. Typically don’t care for graphics since I have a Switch Lite, though if it doesn’t run great even in handheld that’s a bit concerning.
    Just to be safe I’ll most likely get it physically so I can return it if it bothers me that much, even if it means having to wait a bit (since it appears to release on the 17th). Also maybe I’m just dumb but can’t tell if the physical will actually have a cartridge or not since it says “download required” in almost every product picture I see. Hopefully it just means the outfit DLCs

I am just finishing my second playthrough and I am beyond excited that it is finally out!!! I have just under 300 hours on my time at Portia on steam if that tells you anything😅😅 I think I've played it through three times. Not sure if I've ever fully finished the game lols

    the switch footage compared to pc footage is (unintentionally) hilarious lol. portia on pc had high levels of jank BUT i think it shows how strong the story/characters were that ppl, despite the jank, loved the game and rallied behind its successor. so glad you're not giving up on the game; imo the my time series has such a unique, dark but somehow silly take on the genre that i would absolutely play more games in this universe
    NINTENDO: plz make sure the next switch can handle these games, the streets need it, clearly not everyone can have the pleasure of pc gaming and it would be a shame these folks would keep missing out on fun experiences like this!!

    I honestly like the more grinding aspects of bigger builds my brain works well with giving me lists to get through just take it at a slower pace one piece at a time. But i can see why it could be offputting to some!

    I played my Time at Portia on PC and loved it so much. I backed Sandrock on Kickstarter and got beta keys but couldn't get into Sandrock as much because it lacks green and feels way more grindy. I might give it a chance eventually. I'm sure my experience was probably soured by all the bugs in beta, but maybe it got better since.

I don’t might light grinding, but as someone with severe ADHD, I found that the step-heavy projects to grind out actually took this out of the “cozy” zone for me. I could never remember everything I needed to when I was out and about and ended up wasting more time as a result.

I walk backwards from there and focus on the things that will get me there.

    I would definitely recommend to give this game a try on PC or a Steam deck. I played on the Early Access and I have around 100 hours in the game, still enjoying it a lot (but then Zelda TOTK came and stole all my free time 😅). But still, My Time at Sandrock is sooo pretty on PC (especially some of the Romance prospects... like Fang). I actually don't mind the grinding, but I'm also one of these players that is always checking on Fandom what lies ahead and I'll need to be happily over prepared later 😅 And I actually like combat here a lot and don't mind the frequency of enemies around (but BOTW & TOTK tought me a lot in that regard).
    Overall, even though it's not a typical cosy game, it's still a big recommendation from me (on PC) 😅😅

    I never played this game when it was on early access , but it sure took a very long time for it to come out.
    But im very glad to have it now.
    But to me The Switches Version is way better than the PC’s Version of it , but i have seen it on PC but it was really blurry on the PC.
    But that’s why I’m saying that the Switches Version is way better.

    You're right the game is MUCH better on the PC - those Switch visuals were horrible and in just the short time of your review I could feel eye-strain starting to kick in. It was like looking at my PC version after having spread Vasoline all over my monitor! I've never been a hand-held gamer as I don''t see the point of the small screen or poorer performance and seeing this only cemented my personal views further.

    Sandrock v1.0.4 on switch (released by Nintendo Nov 4) solves a lot of issues mentioned in this review.
    - Item description popup now works (so you know what you are buying or need resources for crafting items).
    - Item icon resolution improved.
    - NPC mouth movement for dialog is fixed.
    Loading times for scene render is often delayed, but does work. This seems to be a by-product of switch hardware age.
    PC version would have better performance, but the convenience of playing on Switch is worth it for me.

    I got it for PS5 and performance is not great which is not cool. This game does not have next gen graphics nor some crazy effects and there are constant frame drops and screen tearings on both quality and performance mode. Performance mode is bad because it makes textures so blurry and looks like ps3 game. They need to work on optimisation asap. Also they switched names of modes. Performance is Quality and Quality is Performance, so don't get fooled when you set to quality and feel frame increase. Its not quality because you will notice worse textures. They are blurry and also view distance is reduced. Some particles are also absent.

    I wouldn't play this one on Switch! Much better on PC! Also, anytime someone calls this a farming sim, I find that misleading. Really, it's a crafting sim. Your character isn't a farmer, they're a builder. You can farm, but that's not the game's focus. At least on PC, I find the crafting really enjoyable. It's the right level of challenge!

    Hey Payton, I just wanted to say I appreciate how sincere and frank your reviews are, while having such a pleasing delivery with your personality. Long overdue, but I finally hit that sub button.
    I know people are praising the PC version of the game, but it is definitely important to discuss the unacceptable Switch performance, and I am glad to see you didn't beat around the bush. Switch players deserve better, even if the hardware is arguably limited. Hopefully, the developers take the feedback to heart, and Switch buyers will get a better experience.
    Keep up the great work, and I hope to see your channel to continue to grow!

    I've had this game since a week after it released in Early Access. I love it! It's so much fun. The story starts out a little slow but it does pick up and then you get very invested in it. If you have a PC, I definitely recommend this game!
    It is a little grindy at times, but I enjoy that. The fighting isn't bad at all on PC and I didn't mind it at all.

    Nintendo have the power of PS3,a console that released into 2008.
