My Time at Portia
My Time at Portia is one of the most relaxing games you’ll play this entire year, with it being totally themed around farming and building.
Despite taking place in a post-apocalyptic world, My Time at Portia sports a colorful Ghibli-esque art style, and the experience starts with you striving to rebuild your pa’s neglected workshop.
If you’ve played games like Stardew Valley, you’ll be familiar with the gameplay loop of My Time at Portia. You craft your own farm and take care of crops and livestock, collect resources to upgrade and rebuild the workshop, build and customize your own house, and get to know the quirky residents of Portia.
My Time at Portia doesn’t quite reach the heights of Stardew Valley, but the game oozes charm at every opportunity. The title came out in April amidst a wealth of other smaller releases.
Days Gone probably stole your attention on PS4 and the ridiculous slew of rereleases would have distracted you on Switch, so now’s the time to catch up on this charming little game, while you still can.
