Mass Effect: Andromeda vs Slime Rancher
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda is a spin-off from the brilliant Mass Effect trilogy that lets you assume the role of a Pathfinder (as opposed to Commander Shepard) where you and your team of highly-trained soldiers will help humanity lead its first pioneers into the uncharted Andromeda galaxy. Featuring the game's signature saga-like storyline that's overflowing with mystery and epic space conflict, this game contains many aspects that Mass Effect fans have enjoyed and loved before, including incredibly in-depth character customization and character interactions, but at an enhanced and improved level. Interestingly, the game provides a destructible environment that a clever player can use to their advantage during heated combat.The game's gameplay also has a nice upgrade. Aside from boosted jumps, players now have a new line of weapons and tech to play with as well as the use of the very unique Biotics which definitely helps super-charge every battle you get into. Galaxy exploration is a key factor in this game as well, being Pathfinders and all.
However, either the publisher, EA Games, or the developers, BioWare, have decided to cancel single player updates for Mass Effect: Andromeda and only focusing on multiplayer ones. This comes as a great disappointment to many fans mainly because they love the storyline and would actually like to play them out in a game rather than, as announced recently, through comics or books. On the bright side though, there may still be more Mass Effect games to come in the future.
Slime Rancher
Slime Rancher is a pretty unique ranch simulation that's played in a first person view. In this game, you play the role of a futuristic pioneer who has just settled down on a planet filled with slime. Your job, like the gold miners of old, is to collect and ranch these slimes, make sure they are fed with their respective favorite food types, collect the valuable plorts that they spit out, and turn it into some profits!However, not all types of slimes are friendly. In fact, slimes that are friendly can turn hostile -
these are called Tars - simply by combining with multiple plorts from other species of slimes. Tars will gobble up everything nearby be it slimes or food stuff alike. Aside from having a whole new, and alien, world to explore, there are many ways for you to upgrade your ranch as well just so you can unlock new zones and hence, new slime types for your collection.
Slime Rancher is likely the most recent "big thing" among indie games, and although it won't be the last, the game definitely deserves its shot to fame. The game is incredibly easy to get into and once you're in, you'll be completely hooked! If you're looking for a game that's somewhat casual for the weekends, Slime Rancher is the perfect game to play.
