  • Summary: A chaotic adventure where you can explore a vast, alien frontier to build and customize a space ranch and avoid the perilous avalanche of a thousand wiggling, jiggling slimes! But there’s money to be made in slime science. Careful though; it’s a risky business when jetpacks are your tools.

    Slime Rancher has the ability to keep you hooked for hours; I often looked out over my ranch, felt pride at my accomplishments, and eagerly ventured back into the wilderness to see what other strange things I could find.

    The charm of the world, and in particular the cuteness of the Slimes, makes the game a pleasure to play, and there is a surprising amount of depth in the title with the breeding/evolving mechanic.

    If you enjoy experimenting within your games only to watch the results of your experiments expand the game world then Slime Rancher is an ideal game for you. On the other hand, everyone else will find little to like about this cute sim.

It has very pleasing graphics, a solid gameplay loop, fun gameplay. It is very responsive with a controller, and mouse+keyboard was good too, but it feels better with a controller. My daughter got this game on her Steam account, and I can borrow it when she is offline. She was playing this game in early beta and I always thought it looked fun. It has elements of like Steamworld Dig, Don't Starve, and Stardew Valley. Good time and I definitely will play more. Expand

The core gameplay of feed slimes making money and using this to explore new areas of the game is fun. Also the devs have stated they will absolutely be supporting the game post-launch. This makes me even more exited especially if they add more automation, slimes with tougher requirements and greater exploration/more worlds and most importantly, customization. That is the one thing that this game is lacking and would make new save files relevant. Another thing that would improve this game's longevity is more specialization meaning you have to commit to slime types and can have a variety of mutually exclusive perks that can make you even more likely to start a 2nd time over. Overall this game is a bit away from a 9 but improve if the devs keep their promise. Expand

ItIt honestly did not take me long to get burnt out on this game, at first I was addicted, but after a few hours I was bored out of my mind. It might be just me, but games that require "grinding" are infuriatingly boring to me and just feel like a waste of my time. On the other hand, Slime Rancher clearly had lots of effort put into it. The Graphics are decent and there are little glitches and issues in the game. Unlikely that I'll ever revisit this one. Expand
