    I’m still waiting for that perfect creature catching game, but palworld can definitely tide me over for now, very fun game. Although i recommend not flying unless you absolutely need to.

    If you’ve played before, 1.0 is a pretty significant change. If you quit playing shortly after it blew up on 2024, it’s nearly a different game.

    Gave it a try for a couple of hours to see what the fuss is about. It’s not bad, like a cross between a survival craft/ pokemon game / animal crossing, but very casual and dad-friendly. Haven’t seen many bugs but there’s some jank here and there. Story bits are pretty meh and I’m not really seeing it have a lot of staying power, but that might just be me not being familiar with pokemon games.

    I came back after trying it a bit in early access a year ago. Definitely feels way more fleshed out and I’m really enjoying it so far

    I was part of this adoption wave.

    During the first hype wave, I felt nervous about their getting the game to a full release.

    It’s a great game!

    Examined as pokemon game, I rank Palworld somewhere a bit below Dragon Warrior Monsters II, but well above Pokemon Ruby (which itself is great).

    I just started out today myself. It’s a little hard to get into a sandbox game with my kids ruining the vibe, though, so I may need to wait until I have a bit of late night time to build a base properly and whatnot.

    I’ve also never been a huge fan of over the shoulder perspective… I wonder if I can go first person somehow…
