    I did not expect to have fun with this game, but somehow I had fun, the graphics of the game are nice with a good choice of colors, the gameplay is extremely simple, responds well, the game has more content than I expected and can Hold you for hours depending on how much you like this style of play, anyway it's fun but nothing much required

    Favorite Thing: Exploring the island was fun. It's too bad they gated off so much ... being literal gates.
    Least Favorite Thing: It's repetitive. And grindy. And repetitive.

    Playtime: ~ 3h
    Enjoyment: 5/10
    Recommendation: Meh.

    A joyfully cute game, this game made me feel happy playing it and I got hooked into the adorable charm of it, found it hard to stop playing at first but this game is pretty basic and is not particularly deep.
    It's pretty much a gameplay loop of catch slimes, feed them to make money for upgrades and unlocking more areas of the ranch.

    You can also explore the map, kill tarrs and work on getting everything with your lab.
    It gets a bit too repetitive, not diverse enough in what you can do and the charm of it for me wears off after around 8 hours.

    I still recommend though as it's cute and made me feel happy at how adorable it is.

    It's not good for long term play or those wanting a more serious game.
    It's a good game if you want something chill and relaxing.    … Expand

    Had a good time playing this. It's that type of game where you're "just gonna do this last thing" and end up playing 2 more hours than you planned. You're basically roaming around the world, searching for slimes to bring back to your farm. And when you've had them in your farm a certain amount of time you get money which you use to get upgrades and unlock new areas.

    Not sure why but I    Had a good time playing this. It's that type of game where you're "just gonna do this last thing" and end up playing 2 more hours than you planned.

    Not sure why but I got serious fps drops as soon as I had a chrome page or a steam chatbox open. Extremely annoying, I never have performance issues with other games.

    Would recommend though. Very priceworthy as it goes for only 20 EUR.    … Expand

    Cute and fun, has lots of content, but the pacing can be a bit slow at times.

    The first few hours are honestly really fun, but there comes a point where everything just kind of becomes less of an exploration and more of a chore, and at that point the tedium of the game started to wear me out on it.

    It was nice to enter a different universe with a beautiful theme. Exploring the world and slimes is enjoyable until a certain time, but the game becomes very aimless after a point.

    Slime Rancher is its own enemy: everything good it offers has a counterpart of equal magnitude. However, in the end, the experience is enjoyable and, despite its notorious flaws, turns out to be a pretty fun mix of FPS, adventure and farming simulator.
