Your horse’s head just clips right through your own, every single time. One of my favorites is the animation when you pet your horse. In ruins, I’d knock entire enemies straight through a wall and have to wait for them to walk out. I also found that most anything can clip through a great many walls at any given time. They instead just freeze in place while you whittle their health down. Bosses and enemies can get stun-locked, but some don’t actually have any stun animations. I shook my head every time I walked into the mayor’s office, only to see him awkwardly get out of his chair and then sit back down again. However, the character animations are awkward and stilted. A lot of the textures and geometry are very simple, but it works well with the art style.
The day/night cycle really looks great, as does the way the grass blows in the wind. The first time I walked across the large field outside Portia to an orange setting sun, my breath was taken away. The game world is fairly large, with a good draw distance and attractive colors and use of foliage. The Game Is Visually Pleasing But Filled With Clipping Issues There are a good amount of festivals, but they’re generally only worth doing the first time. Mostly, though, the focus is completely on your character’s life.
Towards the very end of the questline, the story does come to the forefront in some surprising and satisfying ways.
The storyline generally progresses when a new project starts in town, such as building a bridge to get to a nearby island or developing a truck stop. The game is definitely not focused on plot, but there’s enough to keep your interest. You then get to work improving and building things for the town of Portia. You’re new to town and your relative has left you a house for you to set up shop in. The game starts off as those in its genre tend to. The wide, open areas and the promise of a satisfying day-to-day experience absolutely had my interest piqued. I’d been keeping an eye on My Time at Portia for quite some time before playing it. My Time at Portia definitely knows how to use this hook to keep people invested, but is it enough to create a standout in the life sim genre? The act of putting things together and then seeing your handiwork about town is a great motivator.
Having an entire game themed around building things at your own workshop is a great idea.
