SLIME RANCHER PORTABLE EDITION FULL

Slime Rancher, if you haven’t yet realized, is also adorable. Even exploring the environments on my third playthrough was enjoyable because of the many hidden nooks and paths to rediscover, and the multiple ways areas connect makes it easy to get lost again, but in a good way. As you explore, there are plenty of slimes to capture, scattered messages from the previous owner of the ranch to read, and a plethora of hidden chests to find. It’s a colorful world with diverse environments and cheery, whimsical music by Harry Mack that does a great job of adding magic and mysteriousness to some of the areas. Throughout the game as you earn more and more newbucks, the currency on the Far, Far Range, you can purchase upgrades that help you better explore the land around your ranch.

It’s a little like Luigi’s Poltergust 5000 from Luigi’s Mansion, but instead of ghosts, you suck up and shoot out slimes, fruits, veggies, and chickens (more on that later). The game’s mechanics and controls are overall simple and easy to pick up, but the Vacpacks strength comes from how versatile it is. Using the Vacpack is easy, simple, and never gets boring. How will I organize my ranch this time? Where should I start exploring first? Slime Rancher is also a unique resource management game as it is a first person adventure with fun physics simulation! You manipulate a vacuum gun, the Vacpack.

Since it’s a management game, starting a new file is full of optimism for the plans and potential of your new ranch. So what about Slime Rancher makes it worth buying three times? Or even just the one time? Slime Rancher is a management game taking place on the Far, Far Range, a planet light years away from Earth. My fears were immediately put to rest-the game runs flawlessly. There was even a petition! But word was that Switch’s processor couldn’t handle the physics of the game, so I was worried that this version would have noticeable frame rate reduction, lower quality graphics, or even worse issues. Fans had been hoping and asking for a Switch version for some time. I initially had concerns with the Switch or, “Plortable Edition,” of Slime Rancher. Buy it again? Preposterous! Yet something about Slime Rancher makes it immune to my rules. Even if the game comes out later on a console I prefer, i.e. If I ever do it by accident, I get frustrated with my forgetfulness. I’m really not the kind of person who will buy a game multiple times for different consoles. So after seeing the reveal for Slime Rancher at the August 8 Indie World Direct, I quickly realized that once again I would be buying the game. I, along, with many other Nintendo gamers, had been pining for a Switch release for years. Then, in 2020, I pre-ordered the Xbox version so I could finally play the game on console. I loved the game so much that I bought the Steam controller so I could play easier. I first played Slime Rancher on Steam in 2018.
