Slime Rancher 2 review: Every journey has a starting point

It’s no secret that farming seems to be becoming the new staple of the indie community. Anywhere you look, it’s farming. It was fun, and then it became boring. I too like the genre, but come on, try being original for once! Slime Rancher, released in 2016, was a sort of farming sim as well, but with a twist — it was cute and mysterious. Somehow it carved a little niche for itself, a game like many others — and yet unlike anything else. In 2022, it finally gets a sequel that is as unfinished as the first game back when it was released in early access. But is it worth going on a journey that’s both incomplete and painfully familiar?
