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

    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.

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

    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

    I have a PS4 Pro and the game causes my system to overheat and shut down every time I try to use the lab. This can be repeated consistently.

    The game completely froze every couple of hours, causing me a lot of setbacks and lost time. I gave up and stopped playing.
