Slime Rancher

Slime Rancher is a good game I recommend you get mods for free on nexus mods mods can make the game batter

it is a good game

I'm in love with this game so much! The soundtrack is pleasant to listen to that I even listen to it outside of the game, and the world is so cool! I would spend more of my time exploring one area than collecting slimes! Oh the slimes? They are amazing! The designs are ICONIC I TELL YOU! You could take one look at them, and instantly recognise them.

I recommend playing this even if you have the second game already. It's very worth it.

I like The Tarr slime is my favourite it's so adorable!

one of my favorite indie titles of all time. simple, sweet fun that I can enjoy, this is my "comfort-food" game and I am able to come back anytime I am anxious or on the brink of a mental breakdown, which this game has helped me with in the past.

How could I not give this game an 100/10 for healing me mentally

Peaceful happy gloopy slimy fun time extravaganza!!! :3

I followed this game through development on the Xbox and had an absolute blast. This game is so good that even though i don't have my Xbox anymore i still have 2 current copies of this game (steam and Switch Plortable edition great name by the way). The story all though not important to even play the game is amazing and drags you back in. This game is amazing through and through and i cant recommend a better way to relax and spend your time.

Slime Rancher offers fairly colorful, relaxing experience of farming funky looking slimes. Its charming visuals and simple gameplay are enjoyable, but it can get repetitive fairly quickly.

This is game is awesome and is a classic from my childhood

My fav childhood game, which I absolutely adore. I enjoy games like that, so it doesn't get annoying for me to play for many hours, as there are many things to explore, some grinding, and many features to buy. (Even badges pretty fun to do)
Race badges made me reflect on my life.

Slime rancher is by far one of my favourite games I've ever played! It's cozy and fun, great for curling up at the end of the day (up until you accidentally let loose an army of tar slimes...)

LOVE ITT AWH ! i bought it because of some youtubers that played this game a while ago , its very cute and not hard to understand at all c: if ur thinking about buying it , do it !!

amazing game! i cant stress it enough this game is so good lol. customizing different corrals for your slimes and breeding them to make largos is so fun. that feeling when you come back to the ranch and your plort collectors are filled to the brim is so awesome. overall i would highly recommend this game

This game is way cuter than it has any right to be. It is fun, chill, and interesting enough to just vibe with.

Fun, relaxing, charming. Good for chill gameplay.

As someone who has played Slime Rancher way back during its early development, exploring what were open, unfinished lands and only having so few slimes, and now comparing it to its current day finished game. I gotta say, its always been a recommended game from me.
If you enjoy ranching, similarly to farm-adj. games, and you enjoy exploring, and also making a profit via slimes, I'd probably say this game is for you!

The environments are gorgeous, the artstyle is bubbly, and everything within the world is cute as all hell. While there is lore within the game, as you explore you get to see and learn about some of the mysteries and theories of the far-far range. It helps bring the world together, and at the same time, leaves it just as intriguing and mysterious as when you started.
However, the "story", is kind of meh. Not bad at all mind you, but its very lackluster, and feels added on. I personally did enjoy the story, and the lil emails that you got after certain days and finding specific notes, but overall, it was just very. Meh. It doesn't negate or take away the fact that we really are just, out in the far-far range, far away within space, and doing what? Slime Ranching :)

Now, if you're like me, and you're thinking of collecting all the achievements, I'd say, its fairly easy! A lot of them are just things that will occur within your playthrough, but some of the achievements are locked behind an alt. game mode (rush mode). And honestly? With a few tries, you'll get the hang of the new mode and unlock the needed achievements. Some will require a guide as the game at times does become a big finnicky, but overall, its fairly easy to get 100% of achievements within the game.

(I do wanna add that I think its fairly funny how if you get 100% achievements, it doesn't mean you 100% YOUR game. Theres still so much to explore and find, even after finishing! As of the review, I am still finding treasure pods, and new corners to find and see.)

So, if you want a game that is adorable, can explore to your hearts content, and ranch lil slimes, I think you'll enjoy this game :)

Funny game where i can make automated processes to extract the useful material out of cute slimes to further my machines efficiency

I can see why people like the game - it's cute, it has fun physics interactions, and the theme is creative. Unfortunately, the game fell flat for me - it just felt tedious most of the time. It constantly felt like I just had a bunch of chores to do. The story didn't resonate with me either. Overall, I didn't hate the experience, but it's not something I'd recommend.

Wholesome and Full of Positivity

• The game lacks co-op, which I’m sure many players would appreciate. While it might not fit the current story perfectly, the story could be adapted to allow for the co-op experience.
  
• The "Never Stop Creating" achievement (fabricating 100 gadgets) felt a bit soul-crushing - especially since it was the final one that I needed for my adventure world. I ended up fabricating "garbage", so to speak.
  
• Traveling back from The Moss Blanket to The Dry Reef can be annoying without teleporters. I understand teleporters are the intended solution, but they’re not exactly cheap to fabricate.
  
• The main map is a bit hard to navigate, both in terms of layout and visual clarity.
  
• Some actions deserve achievements but don’t have any. For example, reviving all the oases in the Glass Desert felt warm and meaningful, but it would’ve been nice to see the game recognize that. Another example is helping certain characters with their tasks, which eventually unlocks access to their homes. I never actually unlocked those homes - not because I didn’t care, but because the game doesn’t acknowledge them with achievements. Since those were side quests, and I had already completed all the achievements, I found myself less motivated to go through with them, even though I still cared about those parts of the game.
  
• The last section of the Glass Desert felt a bit strange. I understand it was tied to the story, but even in that context, the area felt somewhat meaningless, and it forced me to go back anyway. I think reaching that area should trigger the ending cutscene anyway, rather than making the player return home and wait for one specific letter.
  
[*] Interacting with characters is done entirely through terminals, and they often dump a huge wall of text. The same goes for letters to Beatrix (the game's main character). While lore enthusiasts might enjoy this, I didn’t feel much of a connection with the characters, and honestly, I didn’t miss it. The gameplay was the priority, which isn’t that bad after all.

9 out of 10

The gameplay ended up being surprisingly dynamic and customizable. I originally thought I'd catch a few slimes, organize them, upgrade the ranch, and that'd be the end of it, but there's much more to Slime Rancher than first meets the eye. Largo slimes (a mix of two slime species) made the game far more involved. It felt great when I figured out that I could mix certain slimes together to not only give them a diet that's easier to manage, but also create more plorts (items mainly used to make money, craft with, and make largos) in the process. I wasn’t a fan of how difficult it was to move largos. You can only transport one at a time and can’t bring them through teleporters, so ranch renovations were pretty tedious.

Uncovering new parts of the map and finding new slimes was always exciting, and once I got to the end of the first map, I started to become intrigued about how the game would continue. I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole second map to explore. At this point, I had read some of the messages scattered around the map, and was interested about some sort of ending. When I reached the end of the second map, I found a conclusion of sorts, so I was a little surprised at the lack of credits. I was even more surprised when I saw the credits several minutes later while checking my in-game inbox, where a different and apparently "main" story had been unfolding. For a while I found this story to be unsatisfactory because it was quite detached from the gameplay and lacked an emotional impact because of it, but that very well might have been the point. The story being told through emails from the lover you left behind to become a slime rancher showed the detachment from love and focus on adventure.

The lab made ranching so much easier and hands-off. It let me craft items, like drones and warp tech, which created much more fluidity in various tasks around the ranch. My only complaint about the lab was that it felt like it took too long to get access to it, but that could very well just be because of my own gameplay approach. My ranch was stressful to manage for awhile without access to drones, market links, refinery links, teleporters, etc. but became extremely easy and efficient once I managed to get a few of those pieces of tech.

My biggest complaint about the game is that, despite various ways to upgrade your gear, the upgrades are somewhat lacking. First off, you can only hold four different items at any given time, with no upgrades to hold new items besides water. As few as four singular, but slightly different, baby chicks could prevent you from holding anything else, but hundreds of slimes and food items could fit the same amount of space just fine. Second, movement around the map became monotonous very quickly, despite upgrades for that too. You can increase your energy and eventually place teleporters down nearly wherever you want, but the amount of energy you have to sprint and to use your jetpack was insufficient in many situations. The jetpack itself is also incredibly inept, both using a lot of energy and not elevating you very high in the air. Despite these areas for improvement, the upgrades you get access to do end up making your life easier.

I found it really enjoyable when I got access to NPC ranches and special tasks, it made the world feel much more alive and added several hours of gameplay. You don’t really get a chance to interact with the other ranchers in a significant way before visiting their ranches, but they get a chance to shine when you finally do. Despite my critiques, the game was some chill fun and is a great game for completionists who have some extra time on their hands. Great buy at a discount.

I really love this game and i hope that the owners will see this and give me the dlc for free i have it on my xbox 1 and its so fun i hope your have fun too.

its very fun, easy for little kids to understand but not too kid-ish and easy that it cant be fun for teens or adults. slimes are all cute in general and just an overall amazing game.

The game is very fun. There are some minor clunky moments but that is no0t surprising considering the age.
The slimes are very cute and the soundtrack is soothing.

If you have pet birds they may not like some of thee in game sounds i have found just a FYI

Cozy and fun little game. I've watched my boys play it over the years and finally gave it a shot. I do enjoy the combination slimes and how you can automate the farm how you'd like. Now that I've finished the story and done pretty much everything I wanted to do, onto the second!

this game is extremely fun an there is alot I could say but Im going to leave it to you to experience for yourself

Very relaxing and cute game! The aesthetics are absolutely adorable!

Cute, wonderful, colorful, fun and innovative masterpiece

Bought this on sale to see if it really was as good as I heard it was.
It is, it is amazing, play the game.

Cute, fun, and more than a little chaotic. The ability to explore so many places and find so many different slimes makes this a game you can play for hours. They managed to take what amounts to a very simple game mechanic and make it enjoyable for hours.

such a nice and cozy game, so simple and so fun. Amazing exploration and just getting different slimes to increase your funds is an enjoyable experience.

I LOVE MY SLIMES!!!!!

It's a relaxing game, You take care of the slimes, there are different types of slimes to take care of, different type of crops and fruits to grow for said slimes, some slimes prefer one over the other. The game is warm and bright, the soundtrack is fun. Overall the game is cute as hell. Also did not expect to get feels at the end of the game. 9/10

Super fun and adorable! wish it were multiplayer though

Good game for sure, but not one I'm too into. If you think you'll like it, you probably will, so you don't need to hesitate.

One of my favorite cozy fun games, fully recommend!
This game is deserving of all the love and support it gets

It feels unfinished. Dont get me wrong, its a really good game, but its missing that something. It feels like there is a mechanic or a gameplay loop missing. Not to mention the disappointing endgame content. Still, good game. Especially the rush mode.

I'd prefer if there were a middle option between "yes" and "no" for this, but we don't have that.

So i ended up leaning towards no. This is a decent enough game, but there are a lot of improvements to be made (in my opinion). could do with some QOL improvements for several things, the quests are ok, but doesn't really give you much for just completing them.

After finishing the story, i still had A LOT of things to unlock or even build. Ended up just running back and forth on the farm to grind money. Things are a bit expensive in this game, so i kinda skipped out on a lot of it.

It's cute though. Generally chill game.

AHH I LOVE THIS GAME!! Ever since I can remember, my dream was to play it, and I finally got it! For me, it’s one of those games you just instantly connect with. Beautiful landscapes, silly creatures, quirky sound effects… what more could you ask for?? I adore this game!! I totally recommend it if you’re looking for a casual and super wholesome experience. LIVE LOVE SLIME RANCHER

This game takes kidnapping, fracking, and forced labor... and turns them into the most wholesome thing you'll ever experience, somehow.

10/10, no questions asked.

good game, but better carefully watch time if you have smt scheldued :)

Mazin game, good story and therapeutic. Also has many challenges and unlocks for those who are willing to grind for them.

A very cute, comfy, cozy game, but still with lot's of complexity and gameplay in managing your ranch while exploring the vast colorful world. Very very fun, and very long, it took me nearly a month to get to the end of the game with on and off play.

Fun until you get to the tech stuff. Then it stops being fun and starts being a chore. They stop giving you teleporters to use in the open world in favor of you building your own. But it takes too long, and it's too difficult to find the resources to do that. I had fun early on, but now I am tired of running across most of the map because I can't make any stupid teleporters. Also, while I am complaining, the stationary chungas slimes should show up and stay on the map when you find them. I am not hunting them down and am too irritated to continue looking at guides for things.

Had my fun and don't think I will be getting the sequel.

Slime Rancher is a delightful and relaxing adventure game that offers a perfect mix of exploration, farming, and adorable chaos. Playing as Beatrix LeBeau, you build a ranch, collect slimes, and discover the secrets of the Far, Far Range. The gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying—gathering slimes, feeding them, and selling their plorts for upgrades keeps things engaging and fun.

The variety of slimes is fantastic, each with unique behaviors and quirks, making every discovery exciting. The world is colorful, beautifully designed, and full of hidden surprises, encouraging exploration at your own pace. The soundtrack is soothing, and the cute sounds of bouncing slimes make the experience even more enjoyable.

One of the best things about Slime Rancher is its stress-free approach—there are no strict objectives, just pure fun and creativity. Whether you’re expanding your ranch, experimenting with slime combinations, or uncovering hidden areas, there’s always something new to enjoy. With its charming visuals, relaxing atmosphere, and rewarding progression, Slime Rancher is an absolute joy to play for gamers of all ages.

A fun farming game where you can look at cutely designed slimes and let the day go by for a while. It's easy to get lost in the motions of playing and loose track of time. The story is super simple but in-depth in lore. It's easy to ignore but simple to follow along if you love a good story. DLC is super cute and adds a fun design element.

Amazing, Chill, and very addicting. For all you new players out there, I DEFINITELY recommend this game for you!!!

very chill and fun game, recommend it it you wanna relax, or just play with little silly creatures :]

This was such an amazing experience, I recommend it to everyone. It's more than a silly tycoon game.

Slime Rancher is a delightful and addictive farming simulation game developed by Monomi Park. Set on a colorful alien planet called the Far, Far Range, players take on the role of Beatrix LeBeau, a young rancher tasked with raising various species of slimes, collecting resources, and expanding their ranch. It's a game that combines exploration, strategy, and a touch of humor, all wrapped up in an engaging, casual experience.

I love this game so much <3
It brings back some nostalgia from when I used to play it, and now I think I'm addicted
Its very relaxing (unless there are tars or your dangerous slimes get loose) and I give it a 1000/5!!!!!
:3

This is a very fun and relaxing game to unwind to after a long day! The game play doesn't get dry or repetitive, and overall it's just a great experience. The slimes also make the game really adorable and add light to the stressful areas in the game. Definitely worth the $20!

really fun and kind of teaches responsibility

10/10 worth the money especially when it is on sale (buy the rainbow bundle though)
