New world reviews6/1/2023 ![]() This world is home to a species of creatures known as Slimes, which are exactly what they sound like small gelatinous blobs that come in many different varieties that each has their own unique appearances, behaviors, and dietary needs. In the world of Slime Rancher, you inhabit an alien planet known as the Far, Far Range. But if you’re new to the series, let me quickly get you up to speed. It’s more or less the same game, but with greater variety, a newer map, and some basic quality of life improvements. I certainly picked it all up immediately and got to ranching my heart out within seconds. This sequel does very little to change up the already established formula, and I don’t think fans wanted anything else either. But if you at any point thought that the gameplay loop got boring after a while, then I’m sorry to say that this is simply more of the same, and it will still not appeal to you. If you enjoyed the look of catching slimes, feeding them, and then selling their Plorts to make money, then you’re absolutely gonna love Slime Rancher 2. So this might be good news or bad news depending on what your opinions are on the first entry. So although some answers are given, I expect the plot to be expanded upon as the game expands. It’s all really fun, but it should be mentioned that this is not a complete game at this point, and the developers intend to add to it for years to come. Information is drip-fed to the players through logs strewn about the island and video calls with multiple NPCs. ![]() Who sent that boat to get you? Who wrote the letter? And who used to own this Observatory? All of these questions will be answered in due time, but never in a direct manner. There is an intriguing narrative at play here as well, and you slowly but surely get to explore this new island and uncover the mysteries behind it. It was much easier to get lost in this game world than in that of its predecessor. Each location has multiple different paths to wander off in, and you are always rewarded with a new sight to see or a puzzle to solve. Rainbow Island itself however is much bigger than the map of the first game, and it’s actually much denser as well. It’s a place for you to tame slimes, grow food and earn money. It’s definitely much prettier than the previous base, but functionally it behaves the exact same way. Unlike the Ranch, this is an enclosed space with a roof, walls, and a massive tree growing in the center. It is also here that the game fully starts, by letting you explore your new home, the Observatory. One day as she is taking a break on the docks, a mysterious ship with nothing but a letter inside approaches her, inviting her to explore a brand new region known as Rainbow Island.īeatrix accepts the offer in a heartbeat and sets off on a new adventure. In this sequel players once again take on the role of Beatrix LeBeau, who has been hard at work raising slimes on ‘The Ranch’, which was your base of operations in the first game.
