#Slime rancher portable edition 720p

As mentioned, I’ve spent plenty of hours with the game in the past, but have moved on to other titles since. That portability (or plortabilty if we’re going to be more accurate) was the best thing about Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition for me. But hey, it’s a small price to pay to be able to play Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition on the go, which is a real treat.

It’s at 720p though, so it’s definitely not as crisp as it would look when playing on your TV. In fact, I’ve spent most of my time playing handheld so far and it has been really impressive, with it still looking pretty throughout and running at a consistent frame rate. That’s not to say that it’s bad when playing handheld, though. It seems to perform better when playing docked, so that would be the way to go if you want the best resolution and performance. “ If you’ve never played the game before and love farming-style (or in this case, ‘slime-farming’) titles that are packed with content, you REALLY have to check it out.“ These are the sort of issues you’d expect on the Nintendo Switch though, whilst there was nothing that felt like it significantly deterred from the experience or made it feel bad to play. Things like pop-in in some of the larger locales, the frame rate could take a hit when speeding through areas and quickly turning at a swift pace, the load times did feel lengthier than other platforms, whilst the Joy Con controls when playing handheld could lack precision thanks to their small sticks. If you wanted to nit-pick, there were some imperfections. My ranch was packed early on, but no real slowdown was suffered at all – it’s actually really impressive. I only suffered a handful of frame hitches during some of the game’s more busier areas so far, but I was impressed with its consistency. The visuals are as vibrant as ever (even if it’s obvious that they have taken a hit in some areas, though it’s nothing significant), the resolution and clarity are sharp in both docked and handheld modes, whilst the frame rate consistently stays above 30fps.

This review will focus on the game’s release on the Nintendo Switch though, with Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition marking the four-year-old game’s debut on a Nintendo console. Trust me, I would know I’ve spent close to eighty hours with it on the Xbox One. The addictive Slime-collecting gameplay, the varied selection of quirky and exotic Slimes, the mysteries of the vibrant world, the whimsical and warm-hearted vibe… it’s a real ‘feel good’ game to play that will quickly hook you in thanks to its wonderful gameplay. I could talk for hours about the things I love about Slime Rancher.
