Biggest flaw currently? The crafting system.

Firstly, the heavy leaning into the crafting system for this game actually pisses me off. The general run-down for resource collection in this game is to wander around the map, and you'll see a specific visual cue like liquid spewing out the ground or purple blobs encased in stone which tells you that it's a resource. This would be fine... if it yielded more than only a handful of resources.

On top of the annoying resource collection, there's NO automation after 2 years and a half of being in early access. Your slimes will be hungry 24/7. Your slimes will be unhappy. You will be unhappy. You will always be starved of exploration because of the constant tending your slimes will need. You can't have very few slimes either because then you won't have enough plorts for upgrades.

Moving onto upgrades, you can no longer buy them. You have to explore the map and engage in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ resource collection en masse - spending time grinding and reviewing the same locations you've been dozens of times to get a resource you want.

TLDR; Crafting system is a major flaw: it's tedious, it distracts from exploration, and automation is absent which elevates the issue.

i love the game so much and the new update was so cool but it would be cooler if i could play the game without it crashing in less then a minute of me playing it, crashing aside, this game is beautiful in every way and i love how it lets you place things ALMOST anywhere, the slimes are so diverse and fun i really can not recommend this game enough.

good whether, lighting, and graphics

Slime Rancher 2 is a colorful adventure that kicks off easily from the end of its predecessor. It's lighthearted, cozy, and not too stressful. Unfortunately I can't recommend it, because like its ancestor, Slime Rancher 2 is nigh impossible for someone with my specific blend of neurodivergences to navigate. I get lost easily even in my own city, and it triggers severe fatigue and brain fog. If I take a wrong turn and can't figure it out, I usually have to turn off the game without bothering to make sure I've saved or make it back home. A minimap would have solved this for me in the first installment, and it would probably boost the replay value for me in this one given the expansiveness the hardworking devs have put into it already. I can't imagine there being *more* area in the future and still not having a small HUD map. I wouldn't even mind if I had to hunt down the map still to see it, as long as it's eventually available!

Too little content, super slow development.

It s a realistic game

This game is just a reskin of the first.

insanely slow development. i mean nya~ purrrmeowmeow

this game is 100x better than number 1 except for the fact its abit resource heavy so if you dont have a good pc i wouldnt reccomend it

Adorable fun game to get your mind off of things
