It’s just a well made game in an era of badly made games that hype themselves up bigger than they are.

Palworld is “just” good monster collection, good combat and some good survival crafting. I’m not going to play it, but it’s very easy to see the appeal.

It’s like the newer doom games. They’re “just” good shooters. You “just” get to go through well built levels, nice visuals and good music.

It’s certainly not well made, as it’s buggy as hell, but it is fun, and that’s been missing from a lot of games recently.

I’m playing exclusively in a multiplayer world with my brothers, and we’re having a blast. If I was playing alone it’d probably be less fun tbh.

There may be a few catches here and there, but overall the game works, the world is pretty big / big enough and the features are well designed and well paced enough to keep people entertained for several dozens of hours.

That’s what I mean by “well made”. It’s not an actually unfun game with bad explanations.

All valid points.

Whatever it is, I’m having the best time gaming I’ve had in years with it, and at a $20 price point, I’m well happy to have bought it.
