Don't Starve Together vs My Time at Portia
Don't Starve Together
Don't Starve Together is the multiplayer version of hit indie survival game, Don't Starve. However, as opposed to taking the short way out and simply turn the game intoa multiplayer, the developers have added a ton of improved mechanics and features which makes playing with friends or even random strangers online a whole lot more entertaining in this game. Of course, everything that was previously present in the previous game will still be retained here, so expect to see lumbering tree ents, werepigs and more... and naturally, to die a lot because that's the learning curve in this game.Don't Starve Together is the long-awaited multiplayer expansion for players who love surviving with friends. Enjoy hilarious moments of discovery and deaths together and whatever you do... don't starve!
My Time at Portia
My Time at Portia is a charming fantasy-themed adventure RPG that is set on a gorgeous, revitalized world after a post-apocalyptic event wiped out the previous technologically-advanced civilization. In this game, you play as an up-and-coming Builder, a respected role in society, whose sole purpose is to help solve the town's problems by engineering a solution.With a gameplay which may fondly remind you of games like Harvest Moon, My Time at Portia may be grindy in an RPG sort of way (think repeated dungeon runs or resource-harvesting), but the game has a nice relaxing pace, where its quests (both main and side quests) are slowly revealed as you progress. Being a Builder, you can also complete a commission request daily to collect some cash. The game also features an elaborate gifting/relationship-building system, fun ruin-diving areas, tons of interesting characters to meet, and challenging dungeons. You can even romance and eventually marry an NPC (not all though) you like!
The best part of the game is definitely its in-depth crafting system. There are tons of machines you can build to help you generate a wide variety of materials to build other stuff. You can also unlock new machine technologies via the Research Center.
My Time at Portia feels a lot like an adorable MMORPG minus the MMO part. It has the grind, the dungeon runs... but of course, this game places a lot more emphasis on its resource-collecting, as well as crafting and building aspects. Sounds like a game you'd like to play? Well, despite still being in early access, the first chapter of the game is already ready and bugs-free, so if you do buy the game, know that you can at least get a good 40 hours or so out of it.
