Slime rancher 2 feels like it has more grind to it.
I’ve been playing Slime Rancher 2 for awhile and I feel it’s more grindy than the first game. Maybe it’s been too long since I played the first game but I don’t recall having to spend so much time hunting down resources.
I never quite made it to the drones part, but I remember the machines that could harvest resources for you.
