    My Time at Sandrock offers an amusing multiple proposal of construction, action, adventure and social relations that, far from triple A, manages to engage with its variety and care.

    Whether you are new to the Alliance of the Free Cities or a frequent visitor, My Time at Sandrock is a highly playable game. The storyline flows at a decent pace, there is always somewhere to explore or a new gadget to build that keeps you wanting to return. Expect the odd frustration - whether that’s a minor bug, or the sheer amount of time spent talking to the residents. However, you’ll certainly never get bored with your life as a Sandrock builder.

    Without just playing it yourself, it is hard to grasp all of the options that are available in this game. It’s even weird to mention a lot of them because some are such small pieces of the game, yet are really well done. You have an arcade in the town, and you can build mini-games to play, for example. There are events like a Halloween themed one with hide-and-seek. If you like dancing they have that too. How about a blimp that drops random gifts and everyone tries to snag them first. There is so much going that you may feel almost stressed. There are a handful of side quests that are time-based, but everything else you can kind of do on your own. Just let the years pass and take your time if you’d really like. I just wanted to rush through it because my time in Sandrock was taking too long and I have other things to do. I say that after spending 8 full days playing it. If you choose to pick this title up, please remember to feed your cat if you have one. Your time starts to vanish as soon as you hit “new game”.
