Lightyear Frontier

Pointless grind. I wish i would have played it more in early access, when it was still fun.

Upsides: 1. Giant Mech 2. Cozy farming 3. Automation Downsides: 1. Automation levels are not Satisfactory 2. Automation levels are not Satisfactory 3. Automation levels are not Satisfactory

This was a tough one for me. A game where you can ride around in a transforming mech, exploring an alien planet, farming and crafting sounds amazing. On the other hand this game is a grind, a horrible, horrible grind. From the massive mission requirements to any automation mechanics coming much later in the game. Add to this that the map, while large, feels mostly empty. If you are looking for a slow, grindy game where you can play in a mech I think you could enjoy this game. If you are looking for a farming sim, a satisfactory style game, or a mech adventure game I think you might be disappointed. So since I haven't gotten myself to the end crafting and automation yet I will still recommend this with a big condition that you need to understand just how grindy this game can be.

Fun!

It's a great slow burn game. Very relaxing. You can maximize efficiency or just wing it.

i'll always love games with this kind of aesthetic/theme, especially anything with machines, automation, and that sort of stuff. my main problem is that it started getting pretty boring around the amount of hours i have in it now. don't get me wrong, it was really fun at the beginning, but it just feels like satisfactory just worse. maybe i missed something, but i think satisfactory just did a lot of things better for me since i have like 10x more hours in that game. maybe it's because satisfactory is more industrial, while in this you're spending a lot of time making huge farms (with janky-ish mechanics) and waiting for things to finish. i think part of it is also the map. it's not really the design itself, but i expected more random locations, unique enemies, and lore to discover. the world just feels a little bland to explore compared to what i was hoping for. (ok and i also forgot this game was still in early access so woohoo maybe it'll get better in the future)

очень прикольная, лучше играть не одному, а хотя-бы с одним или двумя людьми в компании ^^
