I am doing a major expansion to My Time at Sandrock, specifically the My Time at Sandrock#Reception section. I may also expand UKCA marking and East Midlands Railway (EMR Regional/EMR Connect/EMR Intercity)

Reception[edit]
Early access[edit]
Rock Paper Shotgun's review of the early access released in 2022 described it as "a compelling and lusciously detailed life simulator" and praised the gameplay loop.[2]
Release[edit]
On Metacritic, My Time at Sandrock received positive reviews for Windows and PlayStation 5, and the Switch version received mixed reviews.[1] Despite some technical issues, IGN called it "a joy" and better in almost every way than My Time at Portia. They found the dungeons and combat a bit basic but said the rest of the game makes up for them.[3] Nintendo Life called it "reasonably enjoyable" but criticized the graphics, performance issues on the Switch, software bugs, and what they felt was "a lack of a distinct identity". However, they said patches had fixed some of the technical issues since the launch.[4] Nintendo World Report also experienced performance issues on the Switch but recommended it on the strength of its gameplay loop and enjoyable world.[5] VG247 said it combines the best parts of Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley. Although they felt the concept is not new, they praised the characters, story, and gameplay.[6]
