    A slight and repetitive but cute farming game, Slime Rancher doesn't quite reach the heights of its sub-genre.

At first, I thought it would be weird... a farm game of slimes where you collect their poop? I never thought it would be so funny and relaxing... but it is! I can't give another rate but 10. Call me weirdo, but I've played more than 90 hours at Steam, i don't know why, but I really liked it, maybe it's because it's the perfect game for who wants to play and listen a podcast while, or maybe because I keep waiting for each update to see what's the newest slime added, or maybe because this game is the best game indie I've played in mounths.

    > Simple gameplay
    >Clean audio
    >Beautiful and charming graphics
    >Periodic Updates
    >Offline (you can play during a trip, for example)

    >Can be repetitive after some time playing

It's addicting, yet simple gameplay sets it apart from many other game as this is a game that is meant to be just good old simple fun that any on can enjoy. This is one of those games where you will say "Just five more minutes" Until it's 3:30 AM. With the gameplay, the art style and how much there is to explore you'll be playing this game for a while. It is a shame that it isn't on PS4 though but it might be some day.… Full Review »

It had a very nice feedback loop in its gameplay, of maybe 5-10 minutes of hunting out slimes and their food (among other things too), and then back to the ranch to store it all and keep everyone fed and happy, and then right back out to it. Ver colorful and fun with a layer of strategy and planning that becomes more obvious after the first hour. I can see even me easily, putting 20+ hours in it. Glad we got it!… Full Review »
