Slime Rancher 2 Reviews

Oh, this game is immaculate in terms of pure vibes. I will say, however, it doesn't quite lead you that well into the right places. If you're a new player and don't really know what to do, go to the underground part of the ranch and try to get the resource harvester first. That unlocks new materials you can find and then more and more stuff can be made and more stuff happens blah blah. Basically, they need more tutorials.

It have better quality then slime rancher 1 and bigger map and also more slime, a pretty solid game

as of now the game is absolutely amazing, im very exited of wht will come soon in the next update

If you’ve already put a lot of hours into the first one or beaten it, you’ll just get bored playing this. “New beautiful graphics” and…? It’s just sucking up and hoarding slimes all over again. I wanted something fresh, I’m already tired of this formula. This game made me realize that if your favorite game gets a sequel, it’s not worth it, because it’s just the same thing all over again.

Played a good amount of the first game and had a great time. I like Slime Rancher 2, but there's a lot working against it. Having slime science from the get go is nice, but at the same time the requirements read like a laundry list of unattainable items. Deciding whether to sell plorts or to to use them for crafting/science is not a great feeling. You can buy nearly everything you want pretty early on, and the only motivation you have from there on is to get all the slimes for the sake of doing it, or to get a bunch of decorations. Since the map is really big, portals and warp stuff are pretty important, otherwise you'll be bumbling around with a full vacpac full of 3 berries and some pocket lint, having all the cool new stuff dangled in front of you while you schlep back to your base. Don't get me wrong though, if you liked the first game it's still worth a shot, but personally I prefer the first game.

A bunch of things were promised for this game and nothing was given. I've waited almost 3 whole years for this game to add more slimes, add more progression, add a story, and so much more. But they're now announcing full release where they haven't even given us most of the content the old game. I wish I could even say it's as good as the old game, but it barely even feels like a game. I've seen more content in tech demos than this and I've seen a faster development from a one person team. Overall I feel more like I've been duped of my cash than anything. I hope that it follows the same tracks as other games that promised much more than they could give and slowly gets more and more updates that make it what it was promised to be, but until then. I want my money back.

Ok so. I had high hopes for this game and yes it is beautiful and amazing but it's missing a lot of things that made the first slime rancher game fun and efficient. I know that this game is still updating but I need the little bee drones back. They were so helpful but they aren't in this game (yet. idk), and there are no resource gatherers (pump, drill, apiary...) so you have to go and scavenge for the resources yourself which takes a painstakingly long amount of time. Also I wish we could still help out Viktor, Mochi, and Ogden, (or at the very least, new characters) and visit their farms that they give us. I do still very much like the game and it is a step up from the last one, visually at least. Though I don't know what to expect from the next update (if there is one) I do hope they add achievements soon. And I am still recommending this game because I believe that it will improve over time. On another note... I need a purpose. 7ZEE was my purpose. Now, I have nothing. Nothing but adorably squishy honey slimes...

I love this game the same as Slime Rancher 1, but if I had to give genuine feedback, I would say that this game would do way better at the full release if it included a natural multiplayer. This may not get added because slime rancher 1 was always the chill singleplayer game that entrances you for hours at a time, but even a two player coop mode that is not mod dependent and runs smoothly would be greatly appreciated. A chill singleplayer game that entrances you could be twice as fun with another person. The second problem is quite obvious, and that is: "What would the second character model be?" Well I'm no developer that's for sure, and a second Bea in the same save would definitely look like a mod, buttt maybe you couuld make a utility to build that makes a clone of Bea that would be playable by another person. OR you could but a robot version of Bea in the lab area that you could interact with and it would pull up the steam friends list where you can invite people. This is my best opinion on what to do in case of multiplayer because two of the same character model doesn't feel natural and the other characters that are apart of the slime rancher universe coulld work but I don't know how that would work. In short, I really really wanna see this game do multiplayer because all the mods for it aren't smooth and this game is still in early access. Thanks for reading!!!

Slime rancher 2 is a faithful followup on the first game. It is nice and cozy and there are lots of slimes. However, the game lacks a few important gameplay design features. There are no incentive structures in place. Sure, you start with a pretty green house in mint condition and can easily buy the many expansions for plots. But why do anything at all. There is no gameplay loop to speak of. In slime rancher 1 there was 7Zee rewards, a reason to earn money and become bigger, collect more slimes. The slime science is supposed to take over a part of this motivation, but the slime science products do not give me dopamine and are prohibitively complex and not needed at all. I've reached the end of current content and never needed any of the utilities besides the ray thing and portals. Besides this, since slime science items always require so many items it looks demotivating rather than challenging. Furthermore, the robot messages placed around the world that are supposed to give lore all read as depressing diary entries of someone struggling with life. Lastly, and this motivated me to actually write the negative review: I had unlocked the two way portal. I placed one at base, and inside the labirinth I placed my second one. However, I had to wait 2 full minutes before I could use it. For no apperant reason at all. Why waste my time! After standing around for 2 minutes I used it to go home, dump some stuff, and go back. I proceed to pick up the portal in the labirinth to receive BOTH PORTALS. Having no return home portals on me, I was now stuck in the labirinth with no way home except all the way back on foot. WHY. just why was the pink portal so so so badly designed. There are no warnings. This really ruined the mood.
