Second time playing through, I got to the Glass Desert again (10 hours in) and I got hit by the same feeling that had me drop the game 6 years ago: The game has limited automation and it often feels like it actively hinders automation, so much of the game is just busywork what with the limited hotbar and item-stacks. It's just annoying and hard to enjoy the game knowing that the ranch is falling apart if you're not …

I've been playing this game over and over again for nearly 10 years. It's become a major comfort game for me. It's got extremely casual, low-stakes farming and exploration based gameplay. There's something very therapeutic about roaming around sucking things up and taking care of cute bouncy slimes. What's even better, underneath the adorable graphics and ranching grind are subtle but beautifully told stories …

Probably the chillest game I've played. If you want to relax after a stressful day, just launch the game and herd some slimes. At first it wasn't even clear what my goal in the game was. The game isn't explicit about it, but it comes naturally as you progress your ranch and explore. There are plenty of upgrades to unlock and lots of slime combinations to experiment with. There are set corral spots along your ranch, …

Slime Rancher is a perfect example of a light, relaxing game. It`s great for anyone just getting into video games. Simple mechanics, an easy to follow goal, and charming visuals create an experience that`s surprisingly satisfying. You collect and breed slimes to make money, and eventually start your own little slime powered oil industry. That`s basically the entire gameplay loop, but honestly, that`s all it needs to …

A classic first‑person sandbox farm sim, u can spot its vibe in loads of games even now. Early n mid game slap with slime breedin, map explorin n base buildin, jst the late game gets way too samey. its a 9‑year‑old game, so many systems feel old school these days. grab a few mods n the whole thing plays way smoother.

The Early Access version of the Slime Rancher received generally positive reviews. Heather Alexandra from Kotaku noticed some bugs, but gave the game a positive review, saying that "I'm not usually a fan of games with catharsis but when I return to my bright and goofy farm at the end of the day? I can't help but smile as wide as my slimy little friends." Steve Neilsen from Games Mojo awarded it 4.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "Slime Rancher is fun and addictive game, with a fun premise and cute creatures. The cartoon style graphics look amazing, and gameplay is clever and full of cute." The full release of the game received generally favorable reviews according to review aggregator…

I picked up Slime Rancher 2 along with the Entire Assassin's Creed Bundle (it was only $70 for me, so why not?) today.

I just came home from a concert, and i was wiped. So i decided to take things easy and just play around in my Slime Rancher Save. As you can tell, I *clearly* don't have a favorite slime.

neutral · AI labelView post →Initially, when I first saw this game and played it. It was quite boring to be blunt. Basic, turn your brain off game where you collect unique objects to sell. I picked it up again after years of not touching it. I wanted to 100% it. To pay tribute to someone I really care about, who is now gone from my life. I started to read the letters and lore. Nearing the end of the game, I got very uncomfortable. The letters, the soundtrack, everything started to make me really, really uncomfortable.…

I love the lore, the gameplay, the characters, the mechanics, the huge amount of posibilities.. I've past wonderful days in the Far, Far Range.. Since the gameplays I used to watch, the first times playing it, and finally, the addition to my library to honor my history with the game. On my way to 100% it again, now here in Steam, and I still owe a lot to those slimes..

These pink, blue and other blobs have different advantages and food requirements, of course, and it all gets even more complicated when you crossbreed them. However, all this drama is not just about creative slime farming - that's not the only thing you'll do on your xenofarming day. When you take care of the blobs, you can go explore the…

This game will have you wearing denim overalls and a straw hat whilst chewing on a wheat stalk, thinking you're a full-time livestock farmer after around ten hours of playtime.

But this isn't a bad thing; it's actually what makes the game work so well. The cycle of gathering food for your slimes, feeding them for the production of…
