Plenty of simulation farming games feature cows, chickens, and pigs. Tending to these animals comes with all sorts of specific instructions.

Well, Slime Rancher takes casual farming games to the next level of cuteness. This video game lets you explore a vibrant world full of adorable slimes, discovering tons of different types. Collect these slimes while caring for them and selling the different ores, known as plorts, they produce.

Farming... With a Monstrous Twist!

Slimes are monsters well-known to most gamers. They're blobby, often evil little creatures that lurk around various places. Slime Rancher adds depth to these beloved oozes by creating a world where they thrive.

Explore a vibrant world full of adorable slimes.

There are dozens of types of slimes, which you'll find by exploring their different habitats. Collect them all at your base of operations. Most slimes, however, can only be with one other slime type at a time. Mixing and matching too many will overload them, creating massive outbreaks of evil Tarr determined on eating you for lunch!

This additional puzzle aspect adds a great layer to an already charming concept.

Keeping Things Simple and Sweet

The world of Slime Rancher features bright colors and vibrant backgrounds. Environments vary wildly, from lava-soaked rock zones to green, lush forests. These are rendered with stunning colors in high-definition.

The style doesn't take itself too seriously, which is excellent for a casual game like this. Exploration provides plenty of different nooks and crannies, although the world can sometimes feel a bit larger than the items and creatures in it.

The soundtrack offers beats that relay what's happening. Booming, bloated sounds raise the alarm when the Tarr appears. Meanwhile, the sounds at your base are much more relaxing.

Collect, Organize, and Care for Slimes

Slime Rancher is open-world, with very little in the way of a story. There are bits of lore scattered throughout the world that you can collect, but it isn't necessary. The main goal is traversing different terrain and finding all the slimes that live in these interesting places.
