It doesn’t take long to build a slime ranch that is fully self-sustaining, where you could sleep, farm slimes, sell them, sleep, and repeat. My biggest concern with Slime Rancher 2 at this stage though is the lack of variety in the progression cycle. That being said, I’d rather the time was taken to develop a quality game, then rush it and present it as a complete game when it still needs months of work. Many announce release dates or road maps that are loosely followed if at all. With the way game development has gone in recent years, I’ve adopted a “believe it when I see it” attitude to game releases. That gives the game a lot of time to have content added, helping flush out its current systems and hopefully add some new ones in that will help differentiate it from the first entry in the series.

There has been confirmation that Slime Rancher 2 will be in development for a minimum of 18 months before it will see its own full release.
As I said, it feels incredibly similar to the first game, for better and worse, but the Game Preview option is something the devs at Monomi Park utilised for the first Slime Rancher – that was in early access for over a year before it saw its full release. There are certainly improvements that have been made, however, whether it is enough to justify an entirely new game remains to be seen. Slime Rancher 2’s major advantage is that it can build off the success of its predecessor since many of the systems and the overall feel of the game are incredibly similar. The final progression systems and settings to control difficulty are going to be paramount to the overall success of Slime Rancher 2 once it exits the preview phase. It is also still in its Game Preview phase so it’s currently impossible to say how much content the game is going to ultimately have. The flipside to that is that the game can end up feeling fairly grindy with minimal challenge, so it is possible to fall into a fairly repetitive cycle that focuses on grinding instead of exploring or taking advantage of the content. Even when playing on the default settings, the difficulty is incredibly minimal, violent slimes are rare to spawn and there aren’t any punishing systems in place that add a sense of difficulty. Slime Rancher 2 fits that bill perfectly.
Whether you’re just getting done with a long day or you’re unsure of what you want to do, a nice chill game is the perfect way to relax.
