it was so cute, WAS until i learned a bunch of items are locked behind mulitplayer

Maybe I’m just sentimental, but this story had me crying more than once. The gameplay can get repetitive and the battle system feels a little broken and boring — it definitely needs some revision. I also found the characters a bit hard to connect with at first.
But despite the flaws, the developer really nailed that emotional gut-punch: the grief of losing someone you love, the regret, and wishing you had more time.
I genuinely hope this game gets updates and improvements, because it’s got a lot of potential.

I really liked this game when I first started playing. It was chill, kinda addicting, and scratching that “cozy little game” itch. But after a while, it got super repetitive. The gameplay doesn’t change much, and it starts to feel like you’re doing the same thing over and over.

What really bummed me out, though, was when they reset all the achievements. I’m an achievement hunter, so that basically erased all the progress I was proud of. Honestly, it kinda killed the motivation to keep going.

Now they’ve also added microtransactions for stuff like skins and mascots. If you’re into that, cool, but personally I find it kinda shady. It used to feel like a fun, simple game, but now it feels more like a cash grab.

As charming as Slime Rancher 2 is, it doesn’t feel like a big leap from the first game. If you’ve played Slime Rancher 1, you’ve more or less already experienced what this sequel has to offer.

There are some nice additions — I love the little decorations, the new environments, and the weather system. The new slimes are cute as well. But beyond that, the core gameplay feels almost identical to the first game. I understand that’s partly the point of a sequel, but at the same time it leaves me feeling like I’m just replaying Slime Rancher 1 with a new coat of paint.

It would have been nice to see more meaningful gameplay changes — for example, new enemy slimes beyond just Ferals and Tars. The map, while beautiful, is also a bit confusing. I often find myself wandering in circles because so many areas look similar. After about eight hours on a fresh save, I still haven’t discovered half the island, simply because I can’t figure out how to get there.

Overall, the game is still cute and relaxing, but it doesn’t stand out compared to the original. For returning players, it may feel more like déjà vu than a fresh adventure.

Honestly, I found the game pretty disappointing. I was expecting real choices—like whether to grow into a big capitalist empire or just stick with running a small shop—but it turns out the story is super linear, and I don’t actually get to decide much at all.

On top of that, the dialogue is a drag. Every time you talk to an NPC, they go on and on before you can even get to the point. Then at the end of every day, you’re forced to sit through this “daily review” of your shop’s progress, which you can’t skip. It gets old fast.

The story itself feels hollow too. None of the NPCs’ backstories or connections seem to matter, so it’s hard to care what happens to them. The writing is such a mess that I ended up spamming through dialogue—which says a lot, because I’m usually the type who reads EVERYTHING.

Overall, I was excited when this game was announced, but it really let me down. I wouldn’t recommend it at full price, and honestly, it’s barely worth picking up even on sale. 👎

I enjoy the game but I do wish the developers had done more research on blood splatters, it’s quite obvious that they just put giant splatters of blood everywhere, even where it doesn’t make sense example being a wall covered in blood with a victim that was shot once with a gun, I feel that would have made the game more immersive and fun

CUTE! One of the rare times i actually enjoy 100%ing a game
