Home Street vs My Time at Portia
Home Street
Home Street is a fun life simulation game that may bring to mind games like The Sims FreePlay and The Sims Mobile. In this game, you can be your ideal self and set up your own dream home in a vibrant town filled with quirky characters of varying personalities. You can decorate your place however you like with hundreds of designer items, cool gadgets, and cute decorative goodies. The same goes for your avatar as well - you are free to tout any sort of fashion style you wish! To fund the lifestyle you want, you'll need to get a job in this game, but you are free to choose who you want to be based on the talents and skills you unlock.Of course, being a life sim, having a sense of community is important and as such, you can join any one of the many Neighborhoods in the game so you can chat with friends in real-time, and participate in fun yet challenging Neighborhood competitions and events. Unlike many other life sims though, this game provides you the opportunity to learn more about the characters that you can interact with in the game. In some way, this makes the game feel a bit like the Suburbia games on Facebook albeit a bit less mysterious and well, "murder-y".
Home Street has gotten the attention of tens of thsaounds of players from all around the world and that happened for a very good reason - it is simply a very good game to play... especially if you have a penchant for life sims. So, if you're interested to see what the fuss is all about, download the app for free now and check it out!
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.
