It's decent but has lots of problems. Good: -Soundtrack is well composed and sounds excellent -Map is large and expansive -System requirements are light, game will run below minimum spec (I have tested personally) -Game is mostly well polished in terms of UI and graphics with only a few flaws. Bad: -Lot's of grinding and resource gathering doesn't always feel consistent -Some content isn't easy to figure out -Game is too expensive for what's given, I recommend it only if it's on sale for at least 33% off. I'm likely to remove this as more content is added to make it actually worth $29.99. -Game is too easy after health upgrades, you'd have to be braindead to die to anything unintentionally even with damage set to maximum Some suggestions for gameplay: -More consistent ways of resource gathering, such as drills like in Slime Rancher 1 and make resources area specific, maybe a hybrid approach would work where you'd find resources and a drill would provide a ton of the resource but over time. Or potentially ways to scan for items using the map or a new upgrade. -More enemies/hazards should be added and a difficulty slider to make the game actually feel like a challenge. Existing Tarr and damage settings could be linked to this. -Add more consistent guidance throughout the game on how to progress -Add ability to make waypoints on the map to allow players to mark important areas -More slimes need to be added. Slimes that are based on elements is an idea I came up with, similar to Pokemon. And also more rare slimes, potentially spawned by scripted events or just extremely low chance or specific situations. -Less focus on decorations/non-essentials and more on story/gameplay. Not everyone cares for cosmetic features, you already have more than enough especially in the latest versions of the game. -Add underwater gameplay and more water based features. For a game where a significant portion of the map is water, the Slime Sea isn't much more than a trash can for Tarrs or items you don't need. Technical things: -Add higher LOD settings, distance detail is far too low even at max settings and it's obvious. -Add MSAA back, Slime Rancher 1's 8X MSAA clearly looked better and it's easy to add to this type of game engine and graphics API. Please do not go towards the current trend of bad AA tech and upscaling like TAA, FSR, DLAA etc. which all look terrible. -Game still stutters even on the strongest of PCs, and even worse on low end systems. Although this has gotten much better since launch. I've played the Slime Rancher franchise since January or February 2016, not long after the game first came out in early access. I love this franchise so it's hard for me to say bad stuff about it but I don't like the direction some things are going in. TLDR: -Game has lots of good aspects but is currently a bad value at full price. Worth getting if on sale. -Difficulty is not consistent between different aspects of the game. -Technical aspects like performance and bugs are not major issues.

Remember the first game, where you'd wander through the Far, Far Range, collecting slimes and thinking "Wow, this is so beautiful"? Well, in the sequel everything is even more stunning. It's like the devs said, "What if we made this game so pretty it makes you want to cry?" I'm here to tell you, Monomi Park, mission accomplished. Slime rancher 2 takes everything I loved about the first game - bouncy slimes, serene exploration, and that sweet plot economy - and cranks it up to a 11. The new slimes are adorable little goobers (looking at you, Ringtail and Batty Slime) and the new world is full of secrets that make me feel like a kid on a treasure hunt. They even kept the chaotic charm of slimes that absolutely refuse to stay in their pens. I'm convinced the Boom Slimes do this on purpose. Why, Boom? Why? If you loved the first game, you'll feel right at home here. It's still the slime-filled adventure you remember, but now with even more charm, more chaos, and somehow more love. And on top of all that, it's still in Early Access! I can't wait to see what else they bring to this wonderful little slimy world ♡

I do love this game; it's definitely more visually impressive than the first game I would say, although I did find the map harder to navigate. I miss trading resources with the other ranchers, I also miss the small environmental puzzles that were in the first game. Gameplay-wise, I have not found much need for any of the upgrades other than jetpack and increased vacpac storage, the tarr are barely a threat even in early game, and you can mostly get everywhere you need to with a bit of parkour, I only invested in the jetpack when I was already done with the main island and halfway done with the second. Overall it seems like they've traded style for substance, to put it bluntly; I do love the look of this game, and the new slimes are a welcome addition, but I really miss the little extras of the first game. I would definitely recommend this game, though I am worried about the quality of the third game if they plan on adding to this series.
