    Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition is a perfect combination of adventure, management, and cuteness that is addicting in the way all the best management sims are, but still brings a lot of originality to the genre. It’s relaxing and a must-play on Switch for any wholesome gamers.

    Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition is a title that doesn’t do the game justice. This isn’t a stripped-back Nokia N-Gage version of a grand game, this is the real deal, and it’s blinkin’ marvellous. Farming Slimes, exploring the world, getting frustrated at the price of Crystal Plorts never going up, it’s a dense and wondrous experience. Having to travel so much on foot stops it from achieving extreme greatness, but it’s not enough to stop us giving this a hearty recommendation.

    Solid plort! Smooth frame rate and all the content you'd expect. Kind of a marvel how well this plays.

    Slime rancher is a farming simulator and exploration game. You explore a huge world, gather up cute little slimes, give them food and toys, and harvest and sell these things called "plorts" that the slimes give off when they eat something. The gameplay is simple, but gets addictive quickly, and there are a lot of things waiting to be discovered in the beautifully detailed world.

    I'm sure many people would be wondering how the game performs generally, and for the most part it runs pretty well. Yes, there are places where the framerate dips, and it will start to perform poorly when you have tons of different slimes and upgrades on your farm. If you don't mind a poorer framerate or really want the portability, then Slime Rancher will be great for you on the Switch. If you don't care about the portability, or really want the framerate to be as high and consistent as possible, it would be better to get another version.

    As a whole, Slime Rancher is just a fantastic game. It's enjoyable to take in everything in the world, from the different slimes and the unique environments to the games characters and story. It's cute and charming, and I love it.    … Full Review »
