Ever wanted to become a space rancher with countless amounts of squishy slimes surrounding you, all ready for experimental purposes? No? Well, Slime Rancher is here to change your mind.
Gracing the Xbox Game Preview Program back in August 2016, Slime Rancher is now here to stay. Any Xbox Live Gold Subscriber is in luck too, as it will be utilising the Xbox Games With Gold program as well, making it available to pick up for free throughout the entire month!
Slime Rancher will see your character, young rancher Beatrix LeBeau, travel thousands of light years from Earth to find herself on the ‘Far, Far Range’, before going about her ranching business, feeding the numerous slimes that inhabit this strange world with chickens, carrots, and all manner of other things.
To harvest all the resources you will need to feed your adorable slime – Beatrix’s trusty vacpack will do the trick. A vacuum jetpack combo, you will go about sucking up and shooting out anything you can find, including slimes, in order to improve your ranch. Eventually, you will be getting involved in slime science to create new slime types – but experiment too much and you may find yourself in a sticky situation…
If you are looking for a big world to navigate and an extraordinary ranch to run, all with colourful, cartoony graphics, Slime Rancher is your go to game. What the hell are you waiting for? It’s free! Unless of course you don’t have an Xbox Live Gold subscription, in which case £15.99 will need to be found. The Xbox Games Store will be able to gift you the download whether you need to pay for it or not.Â
