This game has no game options, plus in beta you could craft from storage, in release you can NOT! All items MUST be in inventory to do any & all crafting.

Keep playing and unlock the Carpenter NPC. Thank me later

Palworld is literally a reskin of Ark Survival Evolved, I've played the game for 6 days now so I have an informed opinion of it. You can talk smack all you like, but as you've played neither PalWorld or Enshrouded you're literally talking from a point of ignorance and I'm not taking anything you say seriously.

Go and actually play these game and then gave me an informed opinion, because right now all you're doing is giving me 2nd hand information.

Oh it is very similar for sure, even the dev of Palword used Ark as the comparison point for what his game was like.

The big difference for me is my creatures in Palworld can be automated to do mining/crafting etc. which as a solo player is a huge boon - it took much longer to make stuff in Ark mining it all with dinos manually. Other than that though yeah, I can't see many original systems there, I think people just really love the aesthetic which is fair enough

Zero Comparison.

Palworld = Open World Aimless Slave Labor Camps with a light RPG system to control what you can build. Extremely Focused on Catching and Exploiting more Slaves while endlessly farming extra slaves to turn into meat to feed your previous slaves.

Enshrouded - Survival Base Builder with a Story where you can get caught for hours digging one stupid hole.

Both, Oddly Satisfying but they scratch different itches.

If you want something more Ark with Dinos, then palworld. Ark Without Dinos, then Enshrouded, But neither of these feel like....Ark.

I just hope both open up to the modding community. That is what will make or break these two games.

Uhhh the dinosaurs are basically slaves too when you tame them, just no automation and for me a lot of that game was collecting my favourite kinds of dinosaurs and breeding (same as Palworld). It really isn't that different, just instead of using tranquilizers I'm using pal spheres

Except Palworld also has a story revolving around the raine syndicate and what pals 'are' exactly. Of course, you have to find that out yourself by exploring but still.

derp.

i have both games now, but so far me and a friend can't even get into a co-op game. Not a great start.

87 Minutes of Enshrouded and I was about to lose my mind on the mechanics and building aspect of the game. Overrated hunk of junk. If you are debating between Palworld or Enshrouded, I would say Palworld is the go to game. If you don't own Valheim or Conan Exiles, get either one. Valheim is a good first time experience.

Different strokes for different folks. I find Pal World the over rated one. I played about 3 hrs of Pal World on my Xbox and had no desire to return. It was fun at first but got less so as I played. Have not been back. On the other hand...Enshrouded while no game of the year...has me coming back. Its building for me is far more intuitive and has enough of a story to prod me along.

What is there to survive in this survival game? As far as I can see, nothing. So is it a survival game? Played around for a bit, already saw a streamer get the 5 npcs in 5 hours and wondered what else there is to the game ( i can't tell) so I refunded.

Playing voices of the void now (great, free game) and that game has more survival elements than this supposed survival game

[[unassigned]]

REALLY on the fence on this one so let me know if you've played both

im playing solo and palworld has the automation aspect which is appealing for saving time.
But, these times are all artificial, so really what im asking is which gear progression is most satisfying?

Like if a weapon might take a little longer in one game, but the improvement feels really drastic, thats preferable to getting quick upgrades that feel like nothing (eg a basic enemy takes 2 shots less to kill)

dont care about building a fancy house. i like the crafting aspect because i like knowing a weapon came from something i achieved. pokemon ai allies seems cool but at same time i like the solitude aspect of playing these games solo.

Do you have any extra periphery like joysticks plugged in? Seems like Enshrouded is one of those games that reads out ALL of them. I had the prompts flicker back and forth from gamepad to mouse & keyboard a few times, until i centered the throttle from my hotas (which i usually leave plugged in). Wouldn't be an isolated case and it's annoying that some games don't bother to isolate/seperate your input devices properly (had my first runin with that in XCOM 2 and am more aware of the problem since then). [/quote]
any other game I have to actually touch the JS to cause something like that. This happened out of the blue when I wasn't even touching the keyboard-loving on dog at the time. that isn't a biggie to me, my biggest beef with Enshrouded is the lack of player customization-character creation just flat out sucks-why even bother with 1 in tis state. Yes I realize in EA, so possible devs will change, but they don't know to change if you don't tell them.
Hey Devs-your player customization for char creator and game settings SUCK big time

Different players? 99% of Palworld players are playing ARK, Conan, Vallheim etc, you think Enshrouded is for not these players lol? They are the same, you maybe don't like the graphics and the pokemon clone thing, but they are for the same audience and i think this game look good and on my wishlist and im going to buy day 1 if the price is not more than 30$, but what i said already is true, if they going to release they are just going to gamble their income, because there is almost 0% chance Palworld is going to die in the next few days, yesterday when i bought with my friend the game had 350k player, and when i went sleep the numbers are started declining, and i thought thats the peak, but when today i woke up and i saw 500k+ player are playing and the game making a new record and everyone talking about the game, Phil Spencer congratulated them on twitter etc (i know people dont't give a ♥♥♥♥ blabla) but the thing is Palworld is blowing up and people are liking it

Share your opinion in 30 days when Palworlds player count plummets (enshrouded has 71k players atm.. this will also plummet hard. All these games die out.. valheim had a release like Palworld and was mega for players.. now it’s “dead” compared to its first month or so) due to having literally nothing to do in the game, repetitive boss fights with no skill or tactics required and capturing Pokémon, abuse of level glitches and all the other glitches available to copy from YouTubers, before and after fixes.
It’s only popular due to the fact it’s unreal engine 5 Pokémon clone… the hype will die off.
Again.. share you opinion on it in 30 days and see how much humble pie you eat

Palworld is the game that people who like Pokemon never knew they wanted. and with over 2 million active players one of the most popular games in the world in the first week.

Enshrouded is a Valheim rehash with better graphics and game play that hit the ground fumbling so hard they had to lock the reviews section and delete all the negative reviews. Topped out at 70K active players so far. mostly because all the streamers are pretty much telling everyone its a good game but its probably best to wait.

Yea, I don't believe that to be true whatsoever. It's not similar at all and Palworld is for 6 year olds.

Palworld player base will definitely plummet. It's a short term fascination and that's not even an opinion. That's just what is shown to be true. Once streamers move on from the "new shiny" players will start dropping over time.

Except the story is very non existent and it's just missions.

Quests with very little information other than "Defeat Insert Name here" Is not really a story to speak of. nice trough though.

Derp.

I did saw Palworld = Ark with Dinos

Guess you didnt read my comment before you tried to correct me.
