    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).

      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.
