Slime Rancher meets Viva Piñata in this charming, relaxing game that aims to teach kids about caring for the environment and managing money. There is also a bit of collectathon 3D platforming along with fun extra things you can do like buy hats for your animals and change their colors. If it sounds interesting to you, I strongly recommend giving it a try - it's free.

There is also some paid DLC, but I found it a bit lacking compared to the base game. The dinosaur DLC has big, empty-feeling environments that are trying to compensate for the large dinosaurs, and the fantasy DLC introduces a new animal food mechanic that adds a lot of walking back and forth.
