Lightyear Frontier early access review: Mech-anical magic in need of a tune-up

A desire for a fresh start away from the hustle and bustle of the city, an emphasis on farming, and cozy gameplay you can relax with; the premise behind life Lightyear Frontier might feel familiar at first, but make no mistake—this isn’t your average farming sim and your massive Mech friend is determined to prove it. Whether it’s successful, though, I’m unsure.

Set on an alien planet you crash onto, Lightyear Frontier follows you and your Mech pal as you set out to explore a vast new world. Along the way, you farm, craft, collect, forage, and otherwise live the lifestyle you’d expect in a game that blends sci-fi and cozy mechanics. And herein lies my issue with Lightyear Frontier; it entirely meets my expectations—no more, no less.
