Steam is a great platform for gaming! There are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of video games lined ripe for the picking for the famished gamer. Earlier this week, I was one of the famished gamers and decided to peruse the site for possible games, and then I came across Slime Rancher. The most popular games are often gory first person shooters. They are made by large AAA companies, and they definitely provide the adrenaline that most gamers crave. However, those games can often lead the people who are playing them to tiredness. There is just so much going on! That is exactly where Slime Rancher jumps in and works its magic.
Slime Rancher is an incredibly relaxing game. The main objective is to capture and cultivate adorable slime creatures and make a profit. The character in the game is completely isolated (by her own choice) and is on a mission to find what she really enjoys: adventure. She moves out to uncover the secrets of where the slimes call home and have some fun in the process. Throughout the adventure, the character finds messages from another slime rancher who used to inhabit the ranch. The messages explain that the slimes hide so much more than the character had originally believed, and by journeying she finds what she wants.
I picked Slime Rancher because of its calming atmosphere and the aesthetics. The game is beautiful, and it uses its graphics and sound design to envelop the player in its world. However, the game itself is not the only aspect to analyze. Steam has a really good interface and allows for anyone to customize how and what they want to play. The games are usually only a few clicks away, and it always gets that awesome feeling of finding a new game under the Christmas tree with each purchase.
Slime Rancher is very much a single player experience, so I don’t recommend playing with a group of people, but I highly recommend it overall because, like I said before, it is outrageously calming!
