I picked up Slime Rancher 2 along with the Entire Assassin's Creed Bundle (it was only $70 for me, so why not?) today. I wanted to give it a try after first playing the earliest version on Xbox Cloud Gaming. I have to say, this one feels a lot more forgiving. I feel like i'm drowning in Chickens within days. For context this is my Stony Hen Coop after a day:

I also kept getting a ton of the rare slimes in the game. I saw two golden slimes in the 2 hours i played and the lucky slime too:

This game has a new weather system which I really like. I had a twister spawn in and some Dervish slimes showed up. That's what the main screenshot is of. A dervish slim popped up right as Lightning Struck. I'm hoping there will be new Weather specific slimes, because i love the idea of them being specific to certain weather types.

I also have been collecting the tabby slimes (my favorites), i have 4 right now and an exclusive coop for them:

On top of that i made most of my fortune so far from cotton slimes. They've been really easy to keep fed which is nice. I have a garden that produces their favorite vegetable. I get about 25 a harvest:

Overall i'm really liking this one. It feels like a much more refined version of the first one. I'm really excited to see where this goes during the final release (whenever that is)

I love reading these daily games posts. They usually sound lovely, and either show me new things or remind me of a fun game I used to play.

Cheers man.

Last I checked on Slime Rancher 2, the early access updates were coming out abysmally slow. How’s it doing these days?

Looking at the Steam news they still seem to be a bit slow. There was a six month gap between a minor version and version 6. That could be just because Version 6 is a major update though
