My Time at Portia

This game is seriously awesome. The port to switch is a bit odd (if you're not used to it) at first in terms of controls, but once you get used to them, the game is superb! The main story is great and the variety of characters and their stories are very creative. You can play as a female, male or non binary. You can date multiple characters and marry whoever you want. You can have or adopt up to two babies. You can adopt a dog and/or a cat. You can raise livestock and have a farm if you want. You can mine for ores and stones. Chop wood, fish and more. But the best is getting to build and develop Portia and expanding its horizons.

If you liked Stardew Valley, this is an open world version of something similar. The environment is just breath taking and the music is beautiful. Seriously, pick up this game today! The price is a no brainer too!

This game may have its rough patches, but if you can see past the very infrequent glitches, then it is so refreshing to go back to a simple, care free game that wants you to get involved with the community that exits in the game.

I've never found myself ignorant of story missions to help a side quest for a "non-important" character more enjoyable and non-stressful

It's truly a game that wants you to get to know the people of Portia, and bar the few missions that stress on time, you are free to get to know, and maybe love, the people of Portia.

And it's been a while since I've seen a game brace enough to do such a thing...
