The environments also feel even more vibrant and clean-looking this time around, with moments such as a sunrise over certain areas causing me to stop in my tracks and screenshot like there’s no tomorrow. You’ll be busy exploring and collecting slimes, working towards the goal of expanding your ranch, and before you know it, you’ve sunk hours and hours into playing.

Unless you’re one of the people who somehow bypassed all the early access messages, and so you’re now playing it and complaining it’s incomplete. This is all standard early access practice.
