A pleasant surprise June 18, 2021 When Monomi Park announced they were working on Slime Rancher 2 fans of the original game were eager to jump back into a colourful and relaxed world filled with cute slimes. This sequel expands on all the original achievements of that game and brings in new features and updates to make the gameplay even more addictive than before. From fresh slimes to better exploration, there’s enough that’ll keep you playing by the hour.
A World Full of Exploration
The sheer joy of Slime Rancher 2 is its vast, open world. This new map is called Rainbow Island, and it’s larger and more colorful than the last. At every bend, there’s something to discover: secret caves, glowing plants, or new slime species. Gamers are loving the excitement of exploring new biomes and collecting resources to build up their ranch.
New Slimes to Collect
Slimes are the lifeblood of the game, and Slime Rancher 2 introduces lots of new ones. In addition to classic Pink, Tabby and Rock Slimes, players will discover new friends like Cotton Slimes, Flutter Slimes and Batty Slimes. Each slime has its own personality, favourite foods and resulting unique plorts. Adding Largos (hybrid slimes) is fun and adds another level of creativity/strategy.
Enhanced Ranching System
Ranching in this sequel feels less logy and more rewarding. More upgrades and customisation is also available with The Conservatory, your new home base. You can construct elaborate corrals, silos and even decorative items to add your ranch’s personal flair. A better upgrade system allows you to concentrate on productivity, whether at the trough and loading docks feeding sketric slimes or bring them back from the far reaches of other planets.
Addictive Resource Management
The mix of exploration and ranch management is what makes the game addicting. Players need to determine how much they’re going to spend in the wild and how much at the ranch. You’ll collect plorts to sell for money, unlock gadgets and upgrade equipment in a satisfying loop that brings you back again and again.
Visual and Audio Upgrades
Slime Rancher 2 is absolutely gorgeous compared to the original game. The vivid colours, vibrant environments and fluid animations help bring the world to life. The score is soothing and uplifting, so exploration is a relaxing yet empowering joy. The stylish graphics of the game is one of its key assets.
