Nov. 2024

Captured Pals, made them work for me, rode some into battles, others tagged along me to assist in attacking other Pals or humans, but at the end of the day we return to base and eat and sleep like 1 big happy family. And then the next day we do it all again until I got 100% achievements. Joking aside, pretty fun game, played it all solo, farming materials and leveling up Pals and doing dungeons and exploring is all very nice. Can change a lot of settings including difficulty and spawns and other things that make the game easier or more tough. Recommended

I loved pokemon, and still love it. I also like survival games. This is the best of both, creature collector and survival. Nintendo should take notes, not lawsuits.

Sept. 2024

Palworld is a very good and fun game. As the tags says, its a open world survival creature collecting game. Now nintendo is suing Pocketpair on the basis of PATENT infrigement. NOT COPYRIGHT; patents. They're not coming for the Pal's design, but for gameplay elements. In the last year, they filed patents for many of these gameplay mechanics. And now they're coming to sue Pocketpair. While this game has magic creatures, it mostly resembles a classic open world survival game; you collect wood, rocks, everything to craft armor, weapons, equipment in general. You build yourself, your base, and your team of magic creatures to fight bigger and stronger enemies. What's there that is in common with nintedo games? The creature collecting. But Creature collecting isn't a gameplay mechanic; it's a GENRE. Digimon, Temtem, Coromon, Cassette Beasts, many more; these are all Creature Collecting games. A genre cannot be patented. If the developers of the first survival games had patented their systems, none of the great survival games we know would have been developed. Stuff like Minecraft, Terraria, Subnautica, and many more. This game doesn't play like nintendo games. It's an action game, it's not turn based! You also fight as your character himself, not just watch creatures fight for you! What nintendo is doing here is evil and greedy. They're abusing the legal system to try and take down someone that isn't even their competitor. Palworld doesn't share a platform with their games. They're literally on separate markets. This game is a good game, and it's very different from those others. It's much more of a survival open world game, with Creature Collecting and base building and resource automation. Out of all the creature collecting games that cloned nintendo's games, Palworld really isn't it. But it's a good game, it's fun, it was ever since its first release. It's still in active development, and gets updated regularly. Its developers focus on the player's fun, and have greatly succeded. I trust them to keep doing a good job, if they're not stopped by this legal abuse coming from greedy old talentless people that have kept making the same stale game for decades.

Sept. 2024

Going to be Very Upset if this game gets shut down or even removed because Papa Nintendo got their panties in a bunch and/or wanted Pocketpair's money. The fact that the suit's happening this long after Palworld was basically screamed across the internet (and thus earned a lot of money) reeks of bad faith. Grumbling about things I have no hand in aside, the game's fun. Runs a bit hot on my PC and there's still this chest that steadily gets further under the ground each time I start a new world, but I don't regret my money or time spent on Palworld. It's got its bugs, flaws, unfinished/generic bits, etc.... but compared to other "survival crafts" in my library, it's still leagues better.

Sept. 2024

Nintendo is jealous they can't produce a solid 60fps experience with little to no bugs and frame rate drops with a team 100x larger than palwords dev team. And no its not a Switch hardware issue since TOTK runs very well with little framerate drops and bugs for such a massive open world game on their own console LOL Support Palworld and support competitive titles that will push Game Freak to not release trash!
