From Monomi Park comes Slime Rancher, a first person exploration game. Released only at the start of August, Slime Rancher has ranked extremely high reviews in just twenty odd days. After seeing Jacksepticeye and Markiplier play it and enjoy it so much, and seeing just high reviews all over, I had to give it a try.
In Slime Rancher, you play as Beatrix LeBeau, a slime rancher who has just moved to The Far, Far Range to try her hand at making a living at being a slime rancher.
This is a large world game to explore, with cute little slimes around the place, and it's a ton of fun. After just eight hours of game play, I am totally addicted to this adorable, fun little game. The set up is rather open world, with limitations, but there is absolutely tons to explore throughout the game, with things that will make even the most boring person in the world smile. Collect your slime, put them in a corral and have fun going through different combinations, making different combinations of slimes to make yourself rich.
Of course, once you've played for a while, it all becomes pretty much the same repetitive thing, especially if you're unaware of where to go for other things, such as slime doors and getting slime keys, but it's fun enough to not become boring. There's plenty to do and it doesn't take long to become rather attached to your slimes. Checking in on my ranch once a day has become a daily routine for me already. There's also plenty to challenge yourself with, with a five day rush to earn as much money as you can in just five days of game play.
The game even has fun little achievements and challenges within the achievements to try and earn, and they're super fun, going through and collecting some of them.
My only qualm with this is that it's such a large game, it doesn't run well on slower running laptops and computers, and it's a bit of a downer that the game lags out and runs even slower when I go into certain areas. Of course, I'm pretty sure this issue is with my laptop, rather than the game itself, but just including this as a warning for those with slower running desktops.
This is such a wonderful game, and I am so happy I spent money on it. I would definitely recommend this to nearly anyone. Definitely give this game a try.
