PC; Pathea Games/Team 17The daily routines of this beautifully designed crafting game are meditative, but the storyline can be laboured

As in Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon, in My Time at Portia you arrive fresh-faced in a new town, set to take over the dilapidated business a relative has left to you. In this alternate life you’re a workshop owner, crafting items for the locals, taking on building projects for the town, gathering materials, dating the local population and, yes, engaging in some light farming – because it just wouldn’t be a bucolic fantasy without some crops and cutesy cows.
