Here’s the trailer itself: The first Slime Rancher was a surprise delight: a first-person farming game in which you gather unpredictable jelly creatures, spit them into pens you’ve built, feed them crops you’ve grown for them, and earn money with which to further expand. It’s relaxing and moreish which Pip (RPS in peace) called “a delightful, irrepressible thing” in her Slime Rancher review: Slime Rancher 2 looks, honestly, like more of the same, as the same protagonist ventures to a new environment with new slimes and softer lighting but the same set of activities. I’m not complaining. When it arrives this autumn, it’ll also be available on day one via Game Pass - hence its appearance this past week during the Xbox Extended showcase. Slime Rancher 2 also seems to take place on Rainbow Island, which is excuse enough to link this earworm I’ve had for 30 years now.
