Then you suck these up with your Vacpack and repeat the process again and again.īut once you have some cash on hand, you can upgrade the corrals to get fitted in with a number of different improvements, such as high walls that prevent your Slimes from escaping their enclosures, auto-feeders that dispense food at regular intervals, and even collectors that can suck up to two different types of Plorts from the corrals. You go out exploring for food for them, bring it back and toss it into their enclosures and wait for them to finish eating, at which point they produce the Plorts. When you first start off, you’re supposed to care for your Slimes manually. But the game has slightly more depth than that, and it has added a handful of new Slimes, food, and other resources to the sequel. Catch Slimes, put them in corrals, and then use their Plorts to earn cash. Automate The Process.ĭo all of this, and you can secure a steady supply of Plorts that can then be sold at the marketplace for money, which is required to purchase new structures, upgrades for your gear, and even additional areas to expand your ranch. But you also have to feed them the correct type of food that they require regularly, lest they get upset and attempt to break out of their pens. When placed inside these corrals, their movement is severely restricted and you can stop them from running away. When these creatures eat something, they create a resource known as Plorts, which can then be sold for money.Īs a rancher, you can catch these Slimes with your Vacpack, which is basically a vacuum gun, and then deposit them in corrals back at the Observatory.
This world is home to a species of creatures known as Slimes, which are exactly what they sound like small gelatinous blobs that come in many different varieties that each has their own unique appearances, behaviors, and dietary needs. In the world of Slime Rancher, you inhabit an alien planet known as the Far, Far Range. But if you’re new to the series, let me quickly get you up to speed. It’s more or less the same game, but with greater variety, a newer map, and some basic quality of life improvements. I certainly picked it all up immediately and got to ranching my heart out within seconds. This sequel does very little to change up the already established formula, and I don’t think fans wanted anything else either. But if you at any point thought that the gameplay loop got boring after a while, then I’m sorry to say that this is simply more of the same, and it will still not appeal to you. If you enjoyed the look of catching slimes, feeding them, and then selling their Plorts to make money, then you’re absolutely gonna love Slime Rancher 2. So this might be good news or bad news depending on what your opinions are on the first entry. So although some answers are given, I expect the plot to be expanded upon as the game expands. It’s all really fun, but it should be mentioned that this is not a complete game at this point, and the developers intend to add to it for years to come. Information is drip-fed to the players through logs strewn about the island and video calls with multiple NPCs. Who sent that boat to get you? Who wrote the letter? And who used to own this Observatory? All of these questions will be answered in due time, but never in a direct manner. There is an intriguing narrative at play here as well, and you slowly but surely get to explore this new island and uncover the mysteries behind it. It was much easier to get lost in this game world than in that of its predecessor. Each location has multiple different paths to wander off in, and you are always rewarded with a new sight to see or a puzzle to solve.
Rainbow Island itself however is much bigger than the map of the first game, and it’s actually much denser as well. It’s a place for you to tame slimes, grow food and earn money. It’s definitely much prettier than the previous base, but functionally it behaves the exact same way. Unlike the Ranch, this is an enclosed space with a roof, walls, and a massive tree growing in the center. It is also here that the game fully starts, by letting you explore your new home, the Observatory. One day as she is taking a break on the docks, a mysterious ship with nothing but a letter inside approaches her, inviting her to explore a brand new region known as Rainbow Island.īeatrix accepts the offer in a heartbeat and sets off on a new adventure. In this sequel players once again take on the role of Beatrix LeBeau, who has been hard at work raising slimes on ‘The Ranch’, which was your base of operations in the first game.
