I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

It's fun and scratches the Pokemon itch better than the switch games. I wish the pals evolved and there was a story but I've already gotten my money's worth in it's current state

Really? To me it feels like

60% Ark/Rust + 15% Pokémon Legends Arceus dodging and throwing + 20% Amazon Warehouse Simulator + 5% Zelda/GenshinImpact climbing

That doesn't contradict anything I said. Unless you're saying any of that is bad

I mean that it doesn’t really scratch that Pokémon itch.

But you’re totally right. It’s massive fun.

I've never played those other games you mentioned but Palworld definitely scratches it for me. I wish there were poke centers/Marts and other iconic pokemon tropes but I'm having more fun with it than any pokemon game I've played in many years. I didn't play Arceus because it doesn't have gyms but the other switch Pokemon games are barely polished turds compared to Palworld.

Actually Legends: Arceus and Palworld are pretty similar.

Fun-wise, Arceus plateau’d for me after like 15 hour, while with Palworld I’m already 48 hours in and still going strong.
