Slime Rancher 2 continues the adventures of Beatrix LeBeau as she journeys across the Slime Sea to Rainbow Island after getting an odd message. This brand-new land promises new locales and new slimes and brings back the same magic that made Slime Rancher so special. So here are just a few reasons why Slime Rancher 2 rivals its predecessor.

The Locales and Exploration

Players have never stepped foot on Rainbow Island, and the developers have taken everything they learned from the first game and piled it into this new landscape. There are so many nooks and crannies to explore, and the sky’s the limit with your handy-dandy jetpack. From peaceful fields to lava pits to sandy shores, the diversity you’ll encounter is fantastic and makes exploring an absolute delight!

Even the player’s home base has been upgraded. Instead of a ranch, players will find their base of operations is a conservatory (think huge greenhouse). The glass windows that make up the walls and ceiling create a much more delicate and open feeling than the ranch. And just underneath it is a way to upgrade your equipment and build gadgets like teleporters. It’s nice to have these options up front instead of having to unlock an extra area, like in the last game.

With Slime Rancher 2 still in early access, there’s a lot more Monomi Park has in store for the game. But already, it’s shaping up to be bigger and better than the first iteration in this loveable series of games!
