    A charming world that’s worth getting lost in, Slime Rancher places you in a brightly coloured sandbox and gives you the freedom to make your own way. There are many plates to spin and no real motivation to progress beyond your own curiosity, but this is a journey well worth exploring.

    While gameplay isn’t super-deep, you’ll still find yourself returning to the slime ranch again and again. [Issue#155, p.90]

    Slime Rancher is an enjoyable foray into virtual ranching, yet fails to provide enough meaningful depth beyond its adorable visual identity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is aesthetically pleasing with the most beautiful stories and world building I’ve seen in a tycoon game. It’s interesting and kept me on edge for a long while. However getting to the last world was a bit too easy and I feel like a lot of the doors you unlock with the gordo slimes were useless. They only lead to places I already unlocked. On top of that the ending credits happened almost as soon as I unlocked the last world and found this ruin place. I almost thought the game was over but it actually wasn’t. However despite those few flaws this game is a great stress reliever! The song that came with the ending credits is worth playing it all over again just to hear. It was beautifully done and the sentiment behind it almost made me cry. I also love how the main character is LGBTQ+ (Or so most can assume), it’s some not much seen representation. The letters from her “friend” or “significant other”, which ever you prefer, were so adorable to read! I could spend hours just reading those. Ahhh! As for the slimes directly I love love love how you can mix and match them for your favorite combination!!! Not to mention the update with the new skins! Adorbs!!! This game over all is now my go to when I’m stressed and I need some good vibes! Not something I’d play just to play if I already beat it though. Expand

    Ernten macht glücklich – das wissen die fröhlichen Fans vom Farming-Klassiker Harvest Moon nur zu gut. Und in puncto Knuffigkeit setzt derErnten macht glücklich – das wissen die fröhlichen Fans vom Farming-Klassiker Harvest Moon nur zu gut. Und in puncto Knuffigkeit setzt der gerade auch auf Konsole erschienene Steam-Hit Slime Rancher noch einen drauf: Zuckersüße Slimes aller Art stehen im spielerischen Zentrum des grafisch grundsoliden Indiespiels – bis Ihr sie mit Eurer Armkanone aufsaugt, auf der Ranch in Käfigen unterbringt und mit eigens angebautem Gemüse füttert, bis sie wie Nibbler Ressourcen auskacken. Die verwandelt Ihr erst in Geld und dann in sicherere Unterbringungen, Upgrades wie das praktische Jetpack oder das Freischalten weiterer Gebiete. Gerade letzteres aber frisst besonders viel Kohle – weshalb Ihr anfangs deutlich zu viel Zeit mit nervigem Gegrinde verbringt. Dennoch motiviert Slime Rancher für eine ganze Weile, weil trotz aller Candy Crush-Süße ein komplexer Kern drinsteckt. So überleben einige Slimes nur in der Nacht, andere fressen nur Fleisch – oder mit einem Happs Eure wertvollen Hühner. Trotzdem ist Monomi Parks Quasi-Endlosspiel deutlich zugänglicher als Genrekollege Stardew Valley. Expand

    Good game. Simple and relaxing. But very bad optimisation for Ps4. Its lag like sh*t all the time like 15 fps when you have many slimes on screen

    Very overrated.
    It's a literal grindfest (if you want to platinum it) and it's just repeating the same steps over and over and over. Boring
