Slime Rancher 2 has been in early access since September 2022, with frequent updates adding new features like slimes, regions, and elements to Rainbow Island.
The core gameplay remains unchanged, focusing on first-person collecting in a colorful, capitalistic adventure of slime ranching.
Players manage pens for slimes, explore different areas, and discover new types of slimes to increase profits through plorps.
The game continuously introduces new slimes, areas to explore, and challenging elements, such as puzzles and variations of slimes.
Technical issues were minimal, but new players may find it challenging to start without prior knowledge from the original game.
Content in the early access version is gradually rolled out, leading to occasional barriers in the gameplay progression.
Updates are expected a few times a year, with a possible full release in 2026, providing a laid-back experience for players.
Slime Rancher 2 offers a relaxed simulation experience where players can immerse themselves gradually in slime ranching adventures.
The current build may not be beginner-friendly, but it continues to deliver what fans loved about the first game, ensuring an enjoyable slime ranching experience.
Slime Rancher 2 is available in early access on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC platforms.
