Lightyear Frontier Review

Thank you to the publisher for providing a review copy.

This is my early access review of 'Lightyear Frontier' based on eight hours of play. Liked the game and am holding off on playing more until 1.0.

From the Steam Store page:

Lightyear Frontier is a peaceful open-world farming adventure on a planet at the far edge of the galaxy. Climb into your versatile mech and start your new home on a distant planet with up to 3 friends as you farm alien crops, build your own homestead, and explore the untamed wilderness of the world.

Small correction: don't know why I said 'crash landed'. Part of the story is that landing here was intentional as part of an interstellar farming program to find earth-like planets.

Just wanted to say you're really good at writing the scripts for your reviews. Really shows, keep it up.

Hey, found you through your Steam review, really pleasant surprise! I'll be keeping tabs for sure, really well-written stuff with a nice helping of optimism and just good-spirit enjoyment I really love to see. Thanks for the great reviews!

Keep up the good work with the videos!

Great review. Your script and presentation are very professional.

Lightyear Frontier, Techtonica, Foundry, one thing is certain, Satisfactory has massively inspired game development, nobody can take the crown from Coffee Stain Studio's who are so far undefeated.

Legend, cheers for the heads up on a watchlist candidate

Great review. The game kinda reminds me of Subnautica from what you've shown: craft, explore, mess around on alien planet. More peaceful though.

Great review, hadn't heard of this one but gonna keep it in my wishlist till it's out of EA for sure. I have a big thing for games where you clean up planets, or make areas habitable. I always wished you could push back the fog in Metal Gear Survive to actually start reclaiming terroitory and expand out to have multiple bases, but that also seems to be what Enshrouded is kinda going for? Regardless, on that same note, I'd highly suggest checking out The Planet Crafter. It's leaving EA soon last I checked and it hits that exact niche very very very well, albeit with some weird quirks. Would love to see your take on it!

This all looks great but I'm lowkey letdown because when I first saw this game I immediately thought of that one love death and robots episode with the farmers and mechs. Because of that I expected subconciously some sort of wave defense too.

Hello Madmike my name is Isaiah and I have something important to say to you. God loves you and like any father he wants to help you and keep you safe especially from the evil one. But I am not just speaking to you about this I am also talking to your fans about this. God loves you all and especially in the times we our living in we are in need of him more than ever. But the choice is ultimately yours have a nice day Shalom Shalom.

If not deadly weapon, then why deadly weapon shaped?

What’s the point of farming? Why do I need crops? Serious question
