My Time at Portia – Diving In

stargrace March 19, 2019 No Comments

This game was actually gifted to me a bit ago, but time being what it is, I haven’t actually played it (though I had it installed for a while). Today I was finally able to make the time, and now I’m completely smitten with this little gem (I also heard today that it’s coming out on console, including Switch, which is awesome).

So you’ve inherited your Pa’s construction building, and you live on the outskirts of a town filled with villagers. You repair the house that has been sorely neglected (hey, this is sounding a lot like another game out there… except in 3D) meet the town folks, and get down to business.

There’s a ton to do in game. You’re restricted by stamina daily (just like that other game we’re all thinking of) and you can do fun things like.. grow crops, breed horses, fill out commissions for other villagers, adventure in some ruins, and generally muck about. There’s a ton of crafting, skills, and other bits and bobs to keep you busy.

I haven’t delved very far into it yet, having only played for a few hours, but I’m enjoying what I HAVE played so far. I hear that combat is a bit wonky so I’ve actually stayed away from it. Instead I’m focusing on exploration, crafting, and farming. Or at least I will be once I make a few more machines for my construction site. Right now I can’t turn wood into planks, and that’s a priority. We’ll see where I end up next.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Two Point Hospital – DLC

I love two point hospital – and of course that means I was absolutely useless in resisting their two DLC (one is a pre-order). It’s relaxing, and hilarious. Two things that I need a lot of.

First Time Friday – 02 – Purrfect Date

HumbleBundle can be hit and miss for me some months, but there’s usually one or two winners tucked away even if I am unsure of it. A few months back I got Purrfect Date in one such bundle.

It’s a visual novel / dating sim so I don’t want to give too much away about the story, but it’s well written, very cute, and well worth grabbing it if you haven’t yet.

What Does your Steam Wish list Look Like?

I tend to keep my steam wish list pretty up to date – and this is what it looks like:

1. Farming Simulator 19 – I want this badly, but the price tag scares me off.
2. Tropico 6 (soon!)
3. Ooblets (soon!)
4. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
5. Assassin’s Creed Origins
6. The Red Strings club
7. Megaquarium
8. First Feudal
9. The Colonists
10. Foundation
11. Total Miner
12. Garden Paws
13. Anno 1800

No real surprises when I look over that list, I tend to stick with what I know I like – aside from the AC series which I’ve actually never played before and was curious about giving it a try. The graphics are just beautiful, and I’m a sucker for that (even if you can’t tell because lets face it, I’m currently playing Dwarf Fortress…)

What does your own wish list look like these days?
