About My Time at Portia
My Time at Portia launched in January 2019 from developer Pathea Games. You play a single-player character returning to a small town called Portia to fix up your father's old workshop. This title mixes farming, crafting, and RPG elements into one package. It arrived on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, Mac, and mobile devices like Android and iOS. The world feels like a post-apocalyptic setting that decided to focus on rebuilding rather than survival horror. You spend your time taking orders from townsfolk, growing vegetables in your own fields, and managing animals. Team17 published this indie adventure for anyone wanting a cozy simulation with light combat moments.
Gameplay
Your day starts by checking the workshop board for commissions that pay money. You gather resources from mining nodes outside town or harvest crops before heading back to craft items like tools or furniture. The game tracks your energy and stamina, so you must balance work with rest or meals. A typical session involves spending hours in the blacksmith area hammering out metal bars or arranging plants in your greenhouse. Socializing happens when you visit neighbors for dialogue options that unlock new quests or recipes. You can also enter dungeons to fight monsters and find rare materials needed for high-tier projects. The controls feel standard for a PC adventure, mapping inventory management to mouse clicks or controller buttons depending on your platform choice.
What Players Think
Players on PlayPile and IGDB seem quite divided on this title. The average score sits at 74.7 out of 100 based on 115 ratings. Most users report spending around 40 hours to finish the main story, though many linger much longer just farming. Community moods lean heavily toward "Chill" and "Relaxing," with a smaller group feeling "Overwhelmed" by the daily schedule. The average playtime suggests people enjoy the loop, yet only about 15% of all available achievements have been unlocked by the community. "Party Master" remains the rarest achievement with just 0.80% of players ever earning it. While critics praise the charm, some reviewers note that the late-game grind loses its appeal quickly for speedrunners or those seeking tight pacing.
PlayPile's Take
This game works well if you want a low-stress evening where you manage a workshop and talk to quirky NPCs. The price has hit a historical low of $2.99 on Humble Store, making it an easy buy during sales. You will unlock 91 achievements, though most players will only snag a fraction of them. It suits fans of simulation games who enjoy reading dialogue trees and managing inventory over fighting intense battles. The story ends abruptly for some, leaving you to just farm for fun without new plot points. If you can handle the repetitive daily tasks without burning out, the low price makes it worth your time.
