Palworld looks like a shitpost. I kind of expected it to do at least halfway well after its announcement trailer, but it is it actually any good?
In my opinion, yes. I get bored of most survival games very quickly, but this one really managed to hook me. The combination of survival, monster collecting and automation somehow works extremely well.
Survival game? I thought it was Pokemon with guns based on all the ads I saw over the last week or so…
The trailers never really showed the survival aspect much. But it is at its core a survival game, mixed with the monster catching from Pokemon Legends: Arceus, movement mechanics from Zelda BotW (Climbing, gliding etc), real time battles and a kind of satisfactory-lite automation (where you get your Pals to do tasks for you around your base).
It is also that, yes.
In everything but aesthetics, it’s the most similar to Ark I’d say.
It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but I’ve had plenty of fun with it so far.
