Sounds like the people who threw a buncha hate on Jar Jar as a buncha adults because he wasn't cool and awesome, they came here for lightsabers!
Well, yeah, he wasn't made for you. Sometimes stuff made at kids doesn't grow up and mature with you...because the audience was always kids.

go back to your cave.
no you didn't "want to like the game"
this was a weak attempt to start a fight and maybe farm clown awards
Ahem... If you're talking about the huge eyes and cute vibes, it's an art style. What's funny is that the humans, though still stylized look much less so (except the syndicate Crusher, cough cough). The environment is also drawn more "realistically". But this just adds to the satirical side of the game: you have these cute and cuddly creatures that, given the opportunity, will kill you and rip you to shreds. This point is especially stressed by some of the NPCs you meet who talk about how they saw some friend get eaten alive or whatnot.
In a way I think part of the point of Palworld is to address, tongue-in-cheek, how dark the concept of a monster-catching game can actually be despite the veneer of cuteness. How dark a LOT of concepts are, in fact.
You have the PIDF who provides order, but underneath they're led by a ruthless money-hungry mafia lord. You have the Free Pal Alliance with their high ideals, but it turns out the leader is the only one who actually follows said ideals and her subordinates are hypocrites who keep her in the dark. You have technology to capture creatures- and it actually makes sense that it could be used on ANY living things, including humans. Many Pals are described as having some level of human or near-human intelligence- is it really okay to capture them and make them work? To butcher them? Is pokemon really so different morally?
This game, while certainly incomplete, is surprisingly philosophical if you want it to be and brings up lots of questions worth asking. The art may be "cutesy", but I don't think it was "geared for a three year old."
