The ONLY reason this is not already my favorite game is that the days feel punishingly short, you have only a few minutes to get absolutely everything done in a game that otherwise feels perfectly cozy and go at your own pace. Please, I'm begging the devs to make the days longer, that's all this game needs to be just about perfect<3 *Edit a game update later and having played through most of it at least, still think it needs more time, but more so something like pause while in menus and/or reading, the recent addition to the day length is at least responsive to the community but a fifth longer day is barely even noticeable. My real gripe now, however, is with the critters. I was SO excited to be able to raise from an egg all the different animals you can feed at nests, but the two that I absolutely love are the only two out of ALL interactable animals you can't raise from an egg. And I kind of hate the design of the Mox, the eyes look like they should be nostrils, that's just a silly personal complaint but still. This game is already a very enjoyable experience to play, it's just doubly frustrating that the things it's missing are barely just out of reach.

The game is reaaally good. I can absolutely suggest it to those who want a relaxed experience with an adventure that doesn't require particular abilities or knowledge of any kind. The visuals are really good and supports all the modern technologies, there is dynamic weather and the framerate is really good. Also the music are well made and fit just perfectly with the scenario. On the gameplay side, there is a good or bad side, based on what type of player you are. Your main objective is to progress the story with your mach and restore to life an abandoned planet. This is made by completing a few basics quests and collecting several resources scattered trough the planet. The bad side on this (again, not for everyone) is that the game is a ONE SHOT experience. There is ZERO replayability. Once you finish the story, there is simply nothing that incentivate you to give it another shot. Not a single thing will be different. Everything is scripted to lead you to the same path. So it's your choice to understand if this game is for you, but one thing is CLEAR. The journey is worth at least a shot. :)

Lightyear Frontier is a great cozy game. It's just me, my mech and what ever I would like to do today. Maybe do some farming, maybe I go exploring, or I take care of the planet and start cleaning or feed the wild animals. If my retirement will look like this I won't complain.
