This vs Slime Rancher 1?

[metsfan393]

I never played the first. Thinking I might skip right to this one (I like the look a lot more). Just wondering how 2 in its current state compares to 1. Am I correct in assuming this kind of has all the features of the first, just with more to be added later?

Yes your assumption is correct from what i've seen on twitch. Pretty much an expansion to the first game so far.

There are changes from the first game to the second game but there is still 18+ months worth of content that has yet to be added

Depends if you want a full game I guess.
Though, the first one definetely has an excellent feel to it compared to the second for now.
Story of the first is complete, slimes, and zones with some good mechanics that will come later in the game. Zones have an entirely other feel, you get a sense of progression. The Second one has zones leading weirdly into others, things that you have no point at all in doing, and VERY bad optimisation.
From what I've seen the second one for now has really nothing worth it and some things from the first are not even in the Second game.

Highly recommend the first one for now.
The 2 is still in Early Access so definetly not a 'game' compared to the first one :/ (yet)

Some different mechanics in SR2 but more or less the same.

I'd say go for the first game. There's still some exploring to do, but I've put about 10hrs into this one so far and feel like I've seen most of the content at this point, not to say I've completed it all though.

Thanks, guess I’ll go with the first and check back in with this one in a year or so
