Tips

On the day that you arrive in Portia, (after you get off the boat but before you reach the house, listed as Jan 1 Yr 1, where time is perpetually frozen) be sure to spend all 100 stamina kicking the two trees en route. On top of the free xp to get you to Lvl 2, it also provides you with 12 rubber fruits you can sell for a decent cash later on.

Some missions have a time limit, and some do not (Main missions typically don't), so besides commissions, take your time! When in doubt, check the mission screen - it will either give you a countdown timer, or won't.

Finishing a commission faster earns you better reputation and happier customers.

Keep a decent supply of any crafting-related materials, especially things like Copper Bar and Iron Bar. Keeping a small supply of gatherables and animal loot can also be helpful.

Watch the market. Purchase items when the market price is low and sell items when the market price is high. It can range between 70-140%.

Participate in festivals. They're fun, and you can use the rewards. Gifts given to villagers are worth double relationship points during festival days.

User Reviews

Phenomenal single player game. Plenty to do and you go at your own pace. There's no price gouging, I've seen someone complaining about 8$ for cosmetics, which buys all of their cosmetics. It's optional and doesn't paywall you, unlike a lot of games that require "energy/stamina" and only lets you play for a certain amount each day. No complaints, 5/5.

My Time at Portia Mobile is such a gem! I haven’t played the other versions, but this one already feels complete and fun on its own. It reminds me a lot of Harvest Moon, but with its own charm, a bit of combat, a stronger storyline and 3D exploration.. I love exploring, crafting, and interacting with the townspeople — it’s such a cozy escape after a long day. Highly recommend! I don’t usually buy games, but this was totally worth it!

This is one of those games where you will really get your money's worth with how much gameplay and content this has. I'm surprised that apart from its simulation aspect, it also has some rpg elements like monster fighting and skill point distribution. It's easy to learn and play, although loading screens take a few seconds to load, it's not too bad. It's also playable offline so that alone makes this a great purchase for me. Looking forward to future updates! Congrats on the game release!

Conclusion

My Time At Portia is a game that will grab the attention of players eager to try out new things, including building their homes, exploring a large-scale open world, and role-playing. The game's stunning graphics and a vast array of exciting places are captivating. However, some small issues could use improvement and optimization. Hopefully, these issues will be addressed as more updates are released to fix remaining bugs and improve performance.
