I'm sad that i held out on playing this one for so long.

It was utterly charming.

The second one is out i think, however i tend to avoid early access / early release games where possible.

I was hoping to have hit 500 completed games by the end of this year, but i keep choosing the ones that i …

I was hoping to have hit 500 completed games by the end of this year, but i keep choosing the ones that i can easily spend 50+ hours with & honestly having few regrets.

Ah,, Slime Rancher. I have a lot of positive feelings towards this game but at times it gets overwhelming, especially with the general lack of direction it gives you. I very much enjoy it, regardless.

The game is really fun and satisfying, but can get a little boring after completing everywhig. I feel like the game had so much potential that could be explored in the development. Really looking foward to Slime Rancher 2!

Been playing this a bit. Pretty cool, but I don't like the inventory limit. I just really have no stomach for inventory management anymore (mEaNiNgFuL cHoIcEsSsSs), and I like exploring around without having to feel rushed to head back to town to offload my findings.

I'm absolutely in love with this game. I play one hour, two, three... in a row, and I don't get tired.

One of my fav games of 2020, and I have a lot of hours more to play.

Well I reached the end credits. But this is a sandbox/sim game so it really lasts as long as you're still interested in playing it. Will have to decide how many more tasks I'd like to accomplish before I set the game aside for a bit.

Very fun and addicting game! You can probably keep playing it for hundreds of hours, and still find new things to do. I recommend it to everyone who likes this sort of genre and/or cute slimes.

Just gave this game a shot for the first time today. It was one I picked up on a whim during the last PSN sale. Ridiculously cute game, and very chill too. Looking forward to playing around with all those slimes.

Wow! Glad I finally got around to trying this. My time at it, I did four hours! That's super-rare for me to be so immediately engrossed in a game. Now it's time to hit the wikis; gotta min-max my chicken coop. ;)

Iv been playing this game for quite awhile now, but just now decided to make a review on it, makes total sense. But this game to me is one of those games you run to when your feeling sad or down. The happy and relaxed nature of the game never ceases to put me in a better mood, at first the darn slime's irritated me because i couldn't keep them in the pen, but after figuring out all the basics on "Slime Care" nothing irritates me anymore. Energy runs out pretty easy at the beginning, but very quickly gets to a point you almost have too much energy, the very volatile plort market can be quite frustrating at the beginning, but gets less so once you buy silo's. Every problem with this game resolves itself within an hour or so of play, and from then on its nothing but happy trails and relaxing farmwork (never in my life did i think i would put the words relaxing and farm work in the same sentence, but this game puts stardew valleys farm work to shame). Waking up each morning, harvesting the fruits, veggies, or hen hens(even the names are just so happy) feeding the slime's with them, harvesting the plorts and selling them, then spending the rest of the day exploring for hidden treasures has never felt so good. Every once in awhile ill get tired of the game and say i'm never playing it again, but then i get into a bad or depressed mood and i run back to it apologizing for saying such mean things, and the always smiling slimes welcome me back every single time. This world needs more smiles in it, and this game has smiles to spare. I would recommend this game to everyone in the world its so pure.

I liked this but it couldn't maintain my interest. I wish I was six years old again. Not only would this game be mindblowing, but everything else also would be.
