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
Early access
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
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]
