Early Access Review
I got around 130 hours on the first Slime rancher and around 60 on Slime rancher two as of now-
Unless you're painstakingly obsessed with the entire story and aesthetic that Slime Rancher as a whole offers I wouldn't recommend this game.



Pros! (DISCLAIMER! HALF IF NOT MOST OF THE BIGGER FEATURES WERE ADDED IN ALMOST 2 YEARS POST OF ITS LAUNCH!)
* The Graphics are unreal compared to the first game! They're breath taking!
* Building System: In the first game you had to find pre-placed points where you could place down utilities- But as of the Eighth of February 2024 Slime Rancher 2 has changed their entire fundamentals of buildings! you can place ♥♥♥♥ anywhere!
* Brand New map with little bits of lore and story sprinkled here and there!
* New lore/story progression system! (removed the letters you'd received in the first game which I won't go into due to spoilers but it is definitely more engaging)
* Weather system! They've added a weather system which is fundamental towards finding certain slimes as well as make the game far more immersive and visually appealing!
* Like 5 new slimes!
* Changed how you get resources!
--------------------------------------------------------
That's all the "noticeable" improvements I've found personally.
Now let me go onto the cons.
--------------------------------------------------------

Cons!
* After almost two years in the waiting the lore/story of the game can all be found/completed in about 1-2 hours! (my personal experience) and after that you better get good at entertaining yourself!
* They have removed a pretty sizable chunk of the slimes from the original game. They took out A LOT of slimes that were originally in the first game but to their credit they have added I believe 3 slimes back from which they've removed- which is something I guess after waiting for one and a half years? (Saber slime, Tangle Slime, Dervish Slime.)
* Gadgets! Until The Eighth of February 2024 there were almost no actual gadgets! Like nothing besides portals and some that would send everything back to the refinery! yet again to their credit they did change a major part of getting resources so the need for pumps etc. have really died down but really I feel like they just didn't put enough thought into the whole gadget system prior to the most recent update as of writing this review (which not to complain and sound ungrateful for but almost 2 years in the waiting REALLY just showed me how barren everything was. (which for a full price game in early access I WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT!))
-----------------------------------------

To wrap things up I'd just say "If you want to play slime rancher buy the first game- only get the second if you're utterly addicted and depraved for slime rancher content (just as I am)

Imagine someone made Genshin Impact but when you talk about it in public theres not a 50/50 on whether or not people think you're a pedophile but instead go "Oh ♥♥♥♥ Pokemon with guns?!"

Mid, questionable devs and no real way to "progress" in this game besides countless fetch me quests that reward you with nothing but monotone ♥♥♥♥ blocks at the in game store and shop.

Got 20 dollars and ready to undergo the "exo-primal" effect? be my guest.

Early Access Review
The game itself offers enjoyment, although I do have a few minor observations that some might find relevant before making a purchase. However, these points should be taken as minor nitpicks rather than substantial issues, especially when considering the game's development by a single individual in comparison to larger team-produced titles.

The game's intention isn't primarily to induce fear.
While it might not be the scariest game available, I don't mean to impose overly high standards for horror. Personally, I perceive the game as a mysterious representation of the Back Rooms, which aligns with its concept. After watching videos from the game developer, it appears that the intent isn't to create a profoundly terrifying experience, but rather a lighthearted, semi-serious game suitable for relaxed gaming sessions with friends. While this approach is justified, those expecting intense horror might feel disappointed with the current state. However, focusing on the enjoyable aspect of sharing a goofy time with friends rather than anticipating excessive fear can lead to an enjoyable experience.

Animations within the game need improvement.
While the game's atmosphere is captivating, the animations fall short. This is understandable considering it's developed by a single individual who prioritizes adding new features over extensive polishing. The animations seem rudimentary, akin to imported assets from Mixamo, resulting in a lack of authenticity. Models break, morph, and fail to blend seamlessly, detracting from the overall immersion and appearance of the game.

The models lack cohesion and quality.
The models exhibit a lack of harmony, appearing disjointed and disrupting the game's overall aesthetic. Even well-designed models suffer when subjected to subpar animations, undermining the immersive gameplay experience. This further accentuates the need for improved animation quality.

The lighting is exceptionally well-executed.
It's worth noting that the lighting in the game is remarkable, showcasing the developer's skill and effort. While developing a game in Unreal Engine does provide a foundation for high-quality lighting, it's apparent that considerable work has been invested into crafting an atmospheric environment. However, it's important to recognize that while the lighting excels, it might not be fully representative of the entire game's quality.

In conclusion, the game is an enjoyable experience despite a few minor aspects that might not meet some expectations. These observations should be taken in context, considering the game's development process and the intentions of its creator. By focusing on the fun and lighthearted aspects with friends, players can still have a great time.

Games the most fun it can be while you're upgrading the skill tree etc. anything else after that feels like you're finishing up side quests in some game you beat 5 times before. Still pretty fun surprisingly.
