Slime Rancher Reviews

The most fun game I played in a long time. Addictive cute farm game. You vacuum slimes and take care of them on the ranch. In return, they give you plots. Plots give you money and you can upgrade your gear and farm. After awhile, you can also use plots to make drilling equipment etc. to get raw materials to build with. The map overview is unlocked by finding map nodes. Unfortunately it doesn't show whether you found a locked gate, an unlocked gate, a gordo slime (giant slime) or a treasure pod. I'm disappointed with the lack of detail in the map. It was a pain to navigate "where have I seen that gate again?". I wish the treasure pods, as well as the gates, would be on the map after finding them. I felt unmotivated after finding out that getting the upgrade to unlock treasure pods was restricted to colours. Meaning, green upgrade can't open a yellow treasure pod. By the time you can comfortable make money with slimes, the treasures don't really matter anymore. The levels are too hardcore. You can upgrade your house and ranch by being a member of a company. I thought the grind was over at 20 but it continues on, at that point it costs more than 75k. As the game had nothing else to offer anymore, I didn't level up any further and that was the end of my game. Speaking of ending, you can continue to play after the credits. Super fun game. I had a blast.

Great game very relaxing with good sound affects and gamplay

I love Slime Ranchers so much! I played this game from a very long time ago, and showed others aka my sister this game.. She played it and HOLY! She was feeding the blue ones and the pink ones came and ate the food, and it became "3 times the size" DAWG she looked behind her and she wrote this btw "oh but don't pay attention to them too long, because it was all a distraction for a simple lone pink slime to go and slaughter your 12 chickens all by himself." OMG! WHAT HAPPENED LIKE 0.3 HOURS ON THE GAME!!!!!! Aidan aka Dallas NEVER GIFT MY SISTER A GAME IF SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO "lock up the slimes" But yea! I love Slime Ranchers A LOT!!!!!! W game 100% recommend <3

Slime Rancher is pure ✨vibe✨ you’re just out here collecting squishy little guys who explode into money like it’s totally normal.

Played on Steam Deck. All the central elements of this game are done well. The progression options of exploration and ranching is nice to be able to pick how much to engage with each of your preferred systems. The core of exploration is exciting and interesting, and the rancing is fun with cute slimes. Great game all around.

If you're looking for a relaxing, creative, and genuinely fun game, Slime Rancher is a fantastic choice. From the moment you arrive on the Far, Far Range, you're drawn into a colorful world filled with charm, discovery, and the cutest slimes you’ll ever meet. The core gameplay is simple but satisfying: collect different types of slimes, feed them their favorite foods, harvest their plorts, and expand your ranch. Over time, the game introduces new environments, upgrades, and slime species that keep the experience fresh and engaging. It’s a great mix of exploration, light puzzle-solving, and farm management. One of the best parts of Slime Rancher is its tone. It’s peaceful, non-violent, and full of personality. The slimes each have their own unique behaviors and preferences, and it’s genuinely fun to experiment with combinations and ranch layouts. The world is bright, the music is soothing, and everything about the game encourages creativity and relaxation. Why I Recommend It: Relaxing and non-stressful gameplay that’s great for winding down A satisfying loop of collecting, upgrading, and exploring Accessible for all ages, but still rewarding for experienced players Beautiful visuals and a whimsical, lighthearted atmosphere No pressure or combat, just pure exploration and creativity Whether you're new to gaming or just looking for something cozy and uplifting, Slime Rancher is well worth your time. It’s one of those games that’s hard to put down and always leaves you in a better mood. Final Verdict: 9.5/10 – A delightful experience that’s as fun as it is heartwarming

So much nostalgia for this game, I recently 100%'ed it and it was really fun and chill 10/10 farming game (also btw I sadly dont acctualy have 480 hours, steam was a little silly)

Okay, this game?? Literal comfort in digital form. You’re this cute space rancher girl who lands on a planet full of adorable (and sometimes unhinged) slimes. You explore, collect slimes, grow crops, raise chickens, and basically build your dream slime ranch from the ground up. The gameplay is chill but never boring. You use your vacpack to suck up slimes, food, and their lil plorts (yes... slime poop 💀), then sell 'em to upgrade your ranch. But it’s not just farming—there are secret paths, hidden treasure pods, slime gates, and ancient ruins all over the island. Exploring those areas feels like you’re uncovering the planet’s lost lore or something. It gives cozy and mysterious. (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ You can even create hybrid slimes by feeding them different plorts (tabby + phosphor = cutest thing ever) or get yeeted by a boom slime if you’re not careful lol. Some of them are chaotic and feral but in like... an endearing way. The art style? Dreamy. The music? Soothing. The whole vibe? Immaculate. Would I recommend? Absolutely. It’s the perfect mix of relaxing, silly, and lowkey magical. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

I write this right after I finished the story of the game and credits roll. Currently on the path to 100% this game. This game for me can be described nothing of nostalgic in the sweetest, happiest way possible. From watching my favourite youtubers play this when I was a kid to actually playing it for myself when I was 13 on my brother's xbox where I would hog it for hours since I loved this game to bits. And even now, all various stages of my life and yet, this games remained alongside me through it all. Despite everything, there was always that happy, wiggly face smiling brightly at me no matter how down I might've been. Even if I might not say it, I'd say I probably carry this game near to my heart right up there with some select others. I'm proud to have this game in my team library and enjoy the absolute wonder that it is, because I know deep down, kid me would've been ecstatic knowing that I'd get to play this on my own and for however long I want. While the game isn't my home, I sure know it like the back of my hand. If anything, I'd consider this game part of my home. Didn't matter what I might've been dragged through, it was pretty much always there, walking beside me as I grew up and matured, changed more into the person I am now. And I hope this game, along with the sequel, will continue to stride alongside me for if I ever might need a pick-me-up or something to help with whatever is negative noise is buzzing around inside my head.

Absolutely great game but.. I have learned the HARD way.. Do not put 300 pink slimes into one corral. They will get hungry They will break out They will steal all your crops.
