I’m a massive fan of resource management, simulations, farming and mindless monotonous games – I know, it’s a strange combination. What’s that? There’s a broken bridge which she can’t cross – nevermind, she’ll construct a jetpack so she can overcome the obstacle and search out more money-makers! The depth comes into the game when you have to go and explore in order to find the various varieties of slime, create Frankenstein creations so you can obtain more of the expensive poop, and unlock new areas to expand your small ranch. Nothing will hold young Beatrix back, if she sees a locked door she doesn’t go home and cries about it, she’ll overfeed a fat slime in order to make it burst and turn into a key. However, she won’t be looking after pigs, cows and sheep, ‘Far Far Range’ specialises in slimes and their poop. You play the role of Beatrix LeBeau, a young energetic rancher who has decided to try something new and travel a thousand light-years from Earth in order to run her own ranch. In a way, it technically is pretty much a sandbox as you’re free to progress at your own pace, but there is an underlining story in the background. I thought it was just going to be an open sandbox where everything was a free-for-all.
