Slime Heroes Review Cons:

You cannot pause the game even in single-player offline.
Bare minimum graphic settings.
Combat can get frustrating and mashy, especially with large groups.
The performance can get a bit choppy and slowdown.
With no direct camera control the scenery can get in the way and seeing enemies can be tricky.
You do not get a lot in the way of guidance or help with progression causing a lot of aimless wandering and hoping you stumble upon something.
Enemies respawn really quickly which combined with not knowing where you are going can get tedious.
Invisible walls are everywhere.
It is so easy to fall off the game world which is instant death or try and jump to something that isn’t actually there.
The jump is very floaty and has two types of jump depending on how hard you press the jump.
With the precarious nature of deaths and how hard it is to see alternate pathways, the game has you actively avoiding doing any sort of exploration.
There is quite a grind for the Shards to level up.
