My Time at Sandrock Reviews
The potential is tantalizingly close to being realized. I still suggest buying but with the asterisk of a discount. I mean, I sunk 50+ hours because I do like it, but it’s just so forgettable.
My Time at Sandrock is not a bad game at all but the Switch version suffers a lot because of the technical issues.
Despite a weaker presentation than contemporary titles and a last third that meanders without the urgency of what came before, the game is a pleasing experience and one that those with even just a passing interest in the life and crafting sim genre are likely to enjoy their time with.
My Time at Sandrock is the perfect follow-up to My Time at Portia - building upon every solid idea from that first title, while also doing so much to give this new one a unique world and unique mechanics that set it apart from any other farm sim.
My Time At Sandrock, despite its shortcomings, provides a satisfying town simulation experience that’s only held back by bland combat.
I loved my time in Sandrock, it genuinely feels innovative within the farming/cozy games that have come out lately. As I said it My Time at Sandrock offers a ton of content for players to tackle, even though it can be overwhelming at times. The PC version also allows players to play the game co-op, at the time of this writing its not planned to come to the other platforms but that may change. The colorful art style, desert setting and memorable characters make for a fantastic adventure that players of the genre shouldn’t skip.
Overall, My Time at Sandrock is a decent game that could be great with some further polish. If it gets another patch, $39.99 is a fair price, as there's lots to explore in this large, addictive game.
My Time at Sandrock is fun. The time I had while playing My Time at Sandrock, exploring its ruins and crafting all sorts of items to help the townsfolk was a worthwhile experience. But even more so, I just enjoyed it as a game that leaves me with a lot of fun memories as I delve into its intricate stories and relationships. It might not have the best combat system around but as a life simulation game, it does the job that it intends to do. So, if you’ve been meaning to scratch an itch left by your favourite life sim, this is one that has potential especially if you enjoy playing with friends thanks to its multiplayer.
My Time at Sandrock is an RPG-style life/farming simulator. The game offers relaxing fun gameplay with a stunning post-apocalyptic setting, a very pleasant sountrack, and an extensive ensemble of extremely well characterized extra characters.

For those who like Portia or slow-moving, production-oriented games, a rich and full game awaits. But if you don't like the genre, you might get bored quickly.

If you like a game that is full of a little of everything, then My Time at Sandrock could well be for you. Pathea has done an amazing job of combining elements into a fun overall package. There truly isn’t anything to not like about moving to Sandrock. I have never felt such a sense of satisfaction after playing a game before and will continue playing long into the future. There are a few things that could be added, but everything My Time at Sandrock does it does well. I am truly looking forward to expanding my workshop and having ranks and ranks of machines all humming away to make everyone’s lives a little better.
My Time at Sandrock is a relaxing and fun farming simulator but players will need to invest a decent amount of time to get to the part of the game where it becomes enjoyable. The inventory system is one of the best systems I have seen in a long time and the NPCs are interesting to interact with as every chat brings something new.
Whether collecting resources, building items, or passing the day away playing minigames with townies, My Time at Sandrock is a joy.
My Time At Sandrock is a phenomenal Life Sim, but more importantly, it has shown how much Pathea has improved as a developer. They took all the criticisms that were given to My Time At Portia to heart and gave us a game that built on what its predecessor had established while going above and beyond. That’s not to say the game is perfect; crafting especially can get overwhelming at times, but as long as you’re patient and give yourself enough time to get used to all the different machines and how they work, they end up becoming a part of your daily routine. My Time At Sandrock is definitely a game we would recommend you give a try if you want more than just cozy living.
If you don't mind a bit of idle time and trying to find something to do in between missions that may or may not mean days more of waiting for the right resources for your side task, the old-western bandits and those darn Geeglers really did keep my time at Sandrock interesting.
"My Time At Sandrock" is a diamond in the rough, a game that offers a comprehensive life simulation experience that is rewarding despite its flaws. It's a game that deserves to be polished to perfection, and we hope that future updates will smooth out its technical edges.
While this farming and life sim has some great characters and a very pleasant overall vibe it feels impaired on Switch
Like My Time at Portia, the My Time at Sandrock Switch version doesn't feel quite ready at launch and hampers a promising game.
Despite the technical issues, My Time At Sandrock is a very engrossing game with a satisfying gameplay loop. The town and characters are very charming, and it's very easy to end up repeatedly saying "I'll just play one more day."
My Time at Sandrock is an exceptionally content-rich game with a satisfying gameplay loop, exciting narrative, and a mostly compelling cast of characters. Unfortunately, it is let down by the Nintendo Switch port, which is so fundamentally flawed that it ruins the entire experience.
