Premature Evaluation is the weekly column in which we explore the (well-tended agricultural) wilds of early access. This week, Fraser s taking a break in My Time at Portia, a crafting sim with shades of Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley.
Tirelessly exploring early access games takes its toll, so this week I m off somewhere relaxing: a post-apocalyptic town. Portia is more Ghibli than Fallout, thankfully. It s a brightly-coloured, charming place, surrounded by vast green fields and gargantuan ruins from the time before the cataclysm. A perfect spot for a holiday, then.
