While it isn't for the faint of heart, the player character is searching this bleak world for answers.

Whether it be nocturnal bat slimes or other slimes with various quirks, each Slime has its diet. This quirkiness makes looking after the slimes fun and sometimes an ae chore.

While the players start with a relatively small ranch, to begin with, slowly but surely, they will upgrade their research facility by gathering slime excrement called Plorts, which can be exchanged for currency. This currency then gets fed back into the collection of slimes. Slime Rancher 2 is a dream for players who love cute aesthetics and collecting creatures in games. This and many other reasons are why we recommend Slime Rancher 2 as one of the 5 best games on Xbox Game Pass for October.
