More about My Time at Sandrock
Critics scored it 80. Players sit 8 points higher at 88 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 14 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 1,330 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
Hi Pathea Games, I'm speaking on behalf of my wife, but thank you for making this game. I know I've been saying that a lot, but my wife is no longer here with us unfortunately, and I just wanted to tell you that you made a game she really enjoyed. She was a bit confused by the difference between singleplayer and online, so she stuck to playing this on her own, but she really loved the characters and story that came...

Came to Sandrock to build stuff and ended up marrying an outlaw. So… successful playthrough? 🤠❤️ Loved this game. The story was so fun, the characters were adorable, and there was always something to do. I'd sit down to play for an hour and suddenly it's 3am and I'm still mining rocks. Also, Logan? Yeah. That's my husband now. No further questions. 10/10. Would rebuild the town and marry the outlaw again.
Absolute blaster! if you are into cozy game playstile like starde valley - this is a must play game! I finished main story in 120 hours, 10 more hours to get all the sidequest finished and 10 more to get the last achievement(which is stupid, but I wanted to perfect this game). Story line is doing really well, world is evolving with what you are doing, plot has some unpredictable twists and has a good grane of humor...
