Honest opinion: Gameplay mechanics are really interesting, visuals are quite good. If you ever wanted a "pokemon but without keeping it kids friendly" game, this might scratch that itch just fine.

I didn't got deep into this game, but it has a noticable lack of direction. The game doesn't tell you what to do aside from the basic base building; but I like it.

Oh also, it's quite buggy in this state and crashed occasionally; so you might want to give it a few more updates before buying if you dislike that.

The trailer reminded me of that other game craftopia that really didn't click with me. Pulled up the trailer for that and wouldn't you know it, same developer. Craftopia still isn't out of early access and sits at a comfortable 57% (recent) steam user rating. So I doubt I'll get palworld.

FWIW, I tried to like Craftopia and it didn't click, but I'm really enjoying Palworld. If you enjoy Pokemon you should be able to get your money's worth.
