A classic first‑person sandbox farm sim, u can spot its vibe in loads of games even now. Early n mid game slap with slime breedin, map explorin n base buildin, jst the late game gets way too samey. its a 9‑year‑old game, so many systems feel old school these days. grab a few mods n the whole thing plays way smoother.
It's a farming game based on a rather strange premise - on a planet far away from Earth, you grow, feed and use all sorts of cute living slimes. These pink, blue and other blobs have different advantages and food requirements, of course, and it all gets even more complicated when you crossbreed them. However, all this drama is not just about creative slime farming - that's not the only thing you'll do on your xenofarming day. When you take care of the blobs, you can go explore the surrounding landscape, survive and find all sorts of secrets. And if not secrets, then at least new slimes. It's a bit like collecting Pokémon in the sense that you come across new species either by chance or by actively searching for them based on various clues. For example, one can be found in the grass, another you can recognize by the fact that it likes to explode, and so on. Those adorable little balls can be dangerous, either on their own or when you crossbreed the wrong species. The resulting mutant can easily raze your entire farm to the ground. [b] 20% [/b]
Love the game, spent over 400 hours on it and also played it with my parents and siblings. 10/10 game, I keep playing it over and over.
