Slime Rancher

I saw my favorite youtuber play it when I was little, It seemed so fun I pirated it because I was a kid and didn't have the money to buy it. And it truly changed the way I saw games ENTIRELY. What I thought was a game I wouldn't play again after an hour turned into my favorite video game, there was something so magical in having a farm of slimes I can't describe.
Whenever I had free time, I played Slime Rancher. And whenever I couldn't play it I was thinking about playing it. It was truly a wonderful experience, it even helped me when I was struggling at school with bullying and stuff happening at home. That until my computer broke and wasn't able to play it again, meaning I wasn't able to finish it.
I bought the game this year, after ignoring the multiple gameplays in youtube for YEARS, finished it and cried. I wish I could've finish it when I was younger in my laggy pc. I will buy Slime Rancher 2 as soon as I can AND I will be brave, be bold, and stay wiggly.
Thank you so much, Monomi Park.

In Slime Rancher, I take innocent, happy slimes from their natural habitat and shove them into overcrowded pens. I force-feed them nonstop until they start pooping pure profit, then I sell their waste to fund even more efficient methods of exploitation. If they get upset? Tough luck. If they escape? I vacuum them back up and double the security.
They trust me. They look at me with their big, googly eyes, unaware that they’re just living coin generators in my grand economic machine. And you know what? It feels great.
10/10, would crush the dreams of sentient jellybeans again.

Cute? Yes. Peaceful? Absolutely not.
I thought I was signing up for a relaxing slime farm. Instead, I’m running around like a lunatic, feeding squeaky blobs, selling glitter-poop, and accidentally creating monsters because I got greedy.
It’s chaos. It’s adorable. It’s addicting.

Initially, when I first saw this game and played it. It was quite boring to be blunt. Basic, turn your brain off game where you collect unique objects to sell.
I picked it up again after years of not touching it. I wanted to 100% it. To pay tribute to someone I really care about, who is now gone from my life.
I started to read the letters and lore. Nearing the end of the game, I got very uncomfortable. The letters, the soundtrack, everything started to make me really, really uncomfortable. I started to reminisce a lot, but I pushed through. I then got to the last letter of the game. Where the credits began to play.
I cried, a lot. The irony begins when I learned the game is about closure and being okay with letting go. Small spoilers from here on.
You leave an unresolved past behind, one that you shared with someone you deeply cared about. The letters represent the memories that tend to arrive at a delay. The lore capsules all around the world tell a story of someone who gave up their big dream to stay with the one they loved. You are the opposite, you follow your dreams, a dream that your relationship no longer aligns with. The glass desert represents that part of you that hurts and needs extra attention to heal. It made me uncomfortable because that was its design, its the ruin of a bittersweet past.
This is a beautiful story told through a game with a silly face. It tells you it's okay. It's okay to let go and let your paths separate. You can love someone enough to stop holding them in place. You can still love them from a distance. Even if it feels like they're a thousand light years away.

I love exploiting and crossbreeding poor innocent creatures for economic gain!!
10/10 would recomend!

Big part of my childhood, I played pirated one so many times and after years I can play a real one and to give it a review.

This game deserves best of the best.
