Slime Rancher 2!

It officially launched on the 23rd and I’ve been playing it (admittedly sparingly) since then. The environments are lush, the slimes are just as cute plus new ones, and the gameplay discovery feels delightfully natural.

The upgrade loop is slower and it can make managing ranch/exploration balance trickier than the original but on easy settings it’s not too much of an issue.

Overall it’s pretty relaxing and it’s well worth the ~$20USD on Steam while it’s on sale. Oh and the original is on sale for $2! Highly recommend.
