"One Of The Best Life Simulation Games In Years" - My Time at Sandrock Review

manages to expand and improve upon its predecessor in almost every way, and despite a few bugs and small qualms, it stands as one of the best life simulation games in years. Just like, this new entry comes from developer Pathea Games and publisher Focus Entertainment, the latter of which has also helped release titles like and. While there will be players who simply don't care for the game's fundamentally task-centric nature or wish for more complex combat, for fans of the genre does almost everything right.
The general premise of remains the same as: the player assumes the role of a new builder who's just moved to a small town to ideally help stimulate its dwindling economy. The two games are set in the same world and time period, but the environments and characters feel distinct from one another, and enough of the mechanics have changed that it feels like much more than a copy of the original. This is a game that is easy to sink hours into, with a huge main storyline, a slew of side quests, and a boundless sense of things to discover.

For those who played, the city of Sandrock will sound familiar — it's the city Portia is separated from by the Eufaula Desert, and is therefore a much hotter, drier environment. This climate fundamentally changes how a lot of the town works, making for a place all about conservation. Water is a precious resource, felling trees around the city is forbidden, and a big part of resource collection is through recycling. It also means a town full of people with brand-new attitudes towards the world's shared lore of the Day of Calamity and The Church of the Light.
These differences make the new in-game world fun to learn about, and the town of Sandrock is deeply charming. It's very Western-inspired, though mostly not to a fault; the more vast desert landscapes can feel bereft at times, but that's arguably more the nature of the desert than a flaw in design. There's a main street area scattered with businesses and a good variety of other nooks and crannies to discover over time, alongside the many other locations players will go outside the main city area for the sake of the story or resource collection.
One of the largest mechanics in the game is the player's workshop and its role within the Commerce Guild. While in players contended with rival builder Higgins, this time around they'll form an alliance of sorts with fellow builder Mi-an who arrived in Sandrock at the same time, both working under Guild president Yan. Each commission — which can range from small requests of materials to large-scale pieces like bridge pieces — will earn money, relationship points with the requester, and reputation towards the

The Asus Zephyrus G14 is the best 14-inch gaming laptop, but there's a frankly offensive Black Friday deal you need to watch out for
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 | Nvidia GTX 1650 | AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS | 14-inch | 1080p | 60Hz | 16GB DDR4 | 512GB NVMe SSD | $1149.99$950.99 at Best Buy (save $199)This ROG Zephyrus might look like a good deal at first, but a closer look at the specs reveals this previous-gen model is very much wanting in some key departments. An underpowered GPU, disappointing screen, and small SSD means that for this sort of money you can do a lot better.

My Time at Sandrock Review
I wish I lived in Sandrock. It's a place where a cat can be a celebrated member of the town guard and every street gets fully decked out for the holidays. It's where newcomers are enthusiastically welcomed, contrary to other Western stories where folks "not from around these parts" are met with suspicion. It's got plenty of Western staples though; a ranch managed by a salt-of-the-earth family (even if the husband is a little unhinged), a cute main street with a saloon and general store, plenty of lovely Western accents, and of course, a touch of danger. My Time at Sandrock is an excellent entry in an ever-growing list of cozy games, consistently fun while managing to stand apart from the crowd thanks to its theme of optimism grown out of hard times.
