    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.

    I will start by saying this game is a lot of fun; it's a lazy fun, but still fun.

    At its core the game is a farming sim that takes market
    I will start by saying this game is a lot of fun; it's a lazy fun, but still fun.

    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.
