Not enough content to peak my interest for nearly long enough to justify the $30 price tag. Luckily I got it on sale, but as far as I can tell, those are few and far between. They haven't implemented automation gadgets either so you have to manually mine everything the slow way. It doesn't help that it's the Exact. Same. Gameplay loop. Give this game a few years and it will be fun, but it does very little to branch out or be unique in my opinion. The visuals are nice, but the ranching is almost identical in the end. All the same farming strategies, synergies, etc. Upgrades are also the same. Vac upgrades it tried to branch out for, but in a really annoying way. It forces you to look around for really rare materials and I just end up doing laps around the same spawnzones over and over for them.

So, yeah. If you want your slime rancher fix REALLY bad, go ahead and get this game. Otherwise, put them back in the oven for another year or two.
