    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.

    At its core the game is a farming sim that takes market economics into account. Exploring the map to find and capture new slimes is good fun. The visuals, gameplay mechanics and gameplay loop are solid; if this game was built on an indie budget, it does not show in the ways I expect a game that launches on pc to look or play...really pleasant surprise.

    While this game was fun for an adult gamer, I have to think kids would really enjoy it. For an adult gamer however, the reason I can't rate this game more highly is that ultimately it is played solely for the loop; outside of the loop of explore, find slimes, pen/feed/ combine slimes, sell slimes....there is no further point...no story arc...no reason for doing what you're doing.....building a farm to....build a farm.....it is one of the few games I can think of where the Achievements are the point to the game, they are the goal.....that's unfortunate in a game this fun.    … Full Review »
