Why stop and read a letter when I can be off doing something way more fun. I would say the lack of NPC’s in Slime Rancher is its greatest flaw. I had a hard time getting involved or caring about the story because it didn’t really have a face. The problem is that that they serve no purpose to the game whatsoever. Throughout the game are letters and journal entries that tell two separate stories. Primarily the story aspect of Slime Rancher I didn’t really care about. There are some things that felt somewhat hollow in this densely rich world. Still the end is more of a whisper then a bang. If you are the type who enjoys getting everything in a game or setting up the Ranch exactly how you like it then there is plenty to sink your teeth into. However, the game doesn’t necessarily end at that moment. Lets get real though, the end of “Adventure mode” isn’t as exciting as I would’ve hoped. Watching my drill and science machines dance is adorable. Discovering a new zone or place always holds a mystery and I loved exploring. Passing my chicken coop and mimicking their squawks never gets old, for me. Finding a new slime and sucking it up happily never gets old. The initial experience of Slime Rancher is by far its biggest highlight. One thing to keep in mind though is that the late game is more about fluff then anything else. I have racked up about forty hours, easily, and still haven’t unlocked everything. Diving into the science crafting system, which albeit is more about fluff then anything. Capturing ‘livestock’ and mixing them for maximum profit, setting up your Ranch perfectly, exploring and unlocking all of the treasures. What we have is still a really fun and enjoyable game that gives you quite a bit to do. If we boil it down and remove all the fantastic cuteness and sap all the charm and aesthetic. Which brings me to the base features of Slime Rancher. What I meant by that is that these games have crossing ideas and themes, but at the core are very different from each other. In my preview, I compared Slime Rancher to Viva Pinata in the same way Stardew Valley is to Harvest Moon. If you are coming in here expecting Stardew Valley, you are making a mistake. I know it’s cliche but Slime Rancher is only going to give you as much as you put into it. There is always something to do or see and usually many goals for you to accomplish.

I have played Slime Rancher for hours and it felt like minutes. The world is a vibrant and colorful place that welcomes you with open arms and makes it hard to leave. What makes Slime Rancher unique is that it is all done from a first person perspective. Slime Rancher tasks you with capturing slimes, exploring, and maximizing your profits from slime poop.

Then a post patch release came almost right after the games official launch date.(It was hard to keep up while writing this review!) There is plenty to cover here, but most of my feelings from the preview still hold true.Įxplore, Expand, Experiment and now more fluff! Since then we have had Ancient ruins added, customization options, Gordo snares, and finally the Glass desert which lead to the final release of Slime Rancher. Back in early January we did a preview when Monomi Park released the Slime Science update. Gaming history lesson aside, we have covered Slime Rancher here on the site before. Okay, I probably still would be but you get the point. If it wasn’t for Slime I might not be writing this. My career into games journalism began with a game called “Attack of the Gelatinous Blob”. Say what you want about the gelatinous goobers, but geek/gaming culture loves colorful blobs with happy faces on them. “Dragon Quest” has its famous slime mascot, that to this day, is still it’s trademark and has been since 1986. Dating far back, in films such as 1958‘s “The Blob” and then we have the classic 1974’s “Dungeons & Dragons” featuring a multitude of slimey deaths. If you take a brief moment to look up the history of “Slimes” then you will find that they have been around for a LONG time. It’s time we were there for them in Slime Rancher.
