yeah bro! this is one of those games where it doesn't matter how old you are, it's fun for everyone!

Of course it is normal! Why wouldn't it be? Do you wonder if you are too old to play board games? No? Then why would you wonder for Slime rancher? On the contrary, that's a great game to play with your little cousins, next time they say they want to play video games with you :D

The real question is why, at the age of 22, are you asking others to do your thinking for you? Ask yourself why you are seeking approval from others? Why does the opinion or approval of other people concern you, for something as nice and innocent and harmless as playing a cute video game?

I'll just leave this passage here, because C.S. Lewis is far more eloquent than I:

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

– C.S. Lewis "On Three Ways of Writing for Children" (1952); in Of Other Worlds: Essays and Stories (1967)

The game may be designed to be marketed for kids that are like 12 and under, but lets be honest, almost no game has its playerbase made up of solely what they intended. The game's story also strikes home and has a solid message for all ages.

Yes, it is fine for you to play this game, it doesn't matter what the age group is, you should still play game.

Oh, man.. Should you really care about your age? It's your own business which games should you play and which not.
See, I'm over 18 now, and I play the games I like, no matter what my friends think or which community these games have. These include, for instance, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Brawlhalla (and others). Nobody ever said anything offensive or like that about my choice of games.
As for Slime Rancher, it's actually worth trying at least once, and what is more, you have a free demo to see the game. You can continue playing the save from demo after you actually buy a game, and, as I think, it's really worth it.

Of course it's normal! I'm at my twentys and I'm SO ADDICTED to it! I really love the concept and how cute everything is, it's one of my biggest passions and the game I play to soothe my mind. I already played it, like, 4 times, I have it on Epic and here on steam, so... Just go, make you farm and have fun! :slimehappy:

Slime Rancher is a game for all ages. It has colorful graphics and a positive atmosphere, which _does_ appeal to children, but that doesn't mean that adults can't enjoy these things. It also includes building and trading mechanics that appeal more to an adult audience.

As you can see from the replies that you got, your question seems a bit weird - I guess that's a language problem. You may have just wanted to ask if the game's target group includes people at your age. But what you actually _did_ ask, was whether people would frown upon you playing this game as an early Twen. This kind of question seems very odd because you really shouldn't worry what others think about you and how you spend your spare time, at least not to that degree. What matters, is whether you're having fun, and this game _is_ fun to play. But as I said, I guess that you probably just worded your question a bit oddly, as English is most probably not your first language.

As others said, it's a game for all ages. It's not a "baby game", if that's what you're worried about... I doubt most kids could get very far in the game. Maybe 7+ could start figuring out some stuff.

It's not like, "a kid game", where anyone over the age of 12 will be bored, though. It's a game for all ages.

In addition to what Mr. Lewis was quoted as saying above, did you not hear about the number of people in your exact demographic liking My Little Pony? And since there's nothing manlier than punching Nazis, come over to the brony side where there's plenty of Nazis to punch! (This is unfortunately not a joke; I am a brony, there are somehow people who identify as both bronies and alt-right, and everyone else in the fandom wishes they would leave.)

Most of the relevant site admins are also too polite to force them to leave, so please take me up on that Nazi-punching offer, I beg of you!

I am 21. Will be 22 this year. I am thinking of buying this game so I just decided to check the discussions and saw this post. Dude buy whatever the ♥♥♥♥ you want that interests you. Life is too short man. Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do the things before you die.

There's nothing wrong with playing at age 22. Lots of Youtubers play at like 25. :steamhappy:

Do you like games?

Yes then what do you care? Play it.

No?

Then why are you here? Go do something boring.
