Steam

oh damn, I didn't notice. Thanks

I’d say too frustrating. And the zelda / pokemon clone fun only gets you so far.

The building mechanics are pretty bare. And the monster pathfinding/automation could use work.

Otherwise, it's enjoyable.

It's really good, they got rid of the tediousness that usually comes from survival games by letting pals take care of the repetitive tasks for you.

It also has some really fun and dumb ideas.

Have you caught a person yet?

PALWorld 2: Revenge of SCART

It's also totally BotW. Like the whole start of the game is almost a direct rip off of BotW's intro.

Xbox and PC Gamepass launched with an older version of the game than Steam waiting for MS to approve the update.

It just got patched this afternoon, I imagine it runs better now. Although, I had only minimal problems launching and playing the game from PC Gamepass this weekend.

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.

Devs started making changes that killed a lot of fun to, presumably, appeal more to CoD players. Some of the balancing decisions also made a lot of the guns a bit less exciting to use and made most of them essentially the same thing. The two most popular classes (medic and sniper) have been nerfed to oblivion. It feels like they are trying really hard to curate a very specific experience, and that seems to have burned out a lot of people or driven others away.

Personally, I think they should have leaned harder in the direction of more realism and rewarding creativity.

Wym? It's still there populated with plenty of servers.

idk

should come back to the top after a few days. A few releases are able to become the most played game on steam, it's a very impressive feat.

No, at this time it is mostly a PvE experience. It is a lot more comparable to Ark thank Pokémon.

Now that you mention it: The monsters kind of feel that way. The lacking art direction supports that feeling, too.

It's funny you mention this because I actually love early access games because I like seeing the game change and evolve over time.
