It's balanced fairly well so its never too easy nor too hard to keep your farm in check. So you can buy upgrades to your farm to make it easier to deal with slimes as the slimes get more chaotic. Farming is good, you make money off of feeding your slimes, and the more difficult the slime, the more profitable it is to do so. The visuals are great, the colors are nice, and all of the slimes are adorable(, my personal favorite is the Crystal Slime).
#SLIME RANCHER GAME PARENT REVIEW HOW TO#
The game has a perfect mix of not telling you what to do, without actually leaving you in the dark too much (unless you're like that one reviewer, Mandulum, who didn't know how to unlock the doors to the other areas). It's simple and sweet, just like the rest of the game, so it fits very well. It's nothing complicated, just a simple love story with the message of settling down, but I like that it isn't complicated. It's told mostly in messages strewn about the world, and letters you receive, so you don't need to know the story if you don't want to, but I'd recommend looking into it. Having to adapt to the chaos of the slimes is fun. By the last area, slimes can cause tornadoes and fiery explosions. Anyway, the farther out you go, the more difficult the slimes are to manage, in the first area, the most difficult slime is Rock, because it damages you a bit. If anything, to me personally, I prefer that there isn't anything in hard to get to places, because it feels less like I discovered something I was supposed to find, and more like I stumbled upon this little place outside the game, its rewarding in it's own right. The problem with them is that most hidden areas usually don't have anything if you get to them, but honestly exploring and finding these places is fun enough that I don't need an award. Exploration is very fun, Each area has its own hub of sorts, and some places more hidden and out of the way. There are multiple different game play loops that are all interesting or fun on their own right. All with a very cute and visually pleasing art style. It combines a good sense of adventure, wonder, and exploration. A very well made farming Slime Rancher is one of my all time favorite games. Slime Rancher is one of my all time favorite games.
