!!!READ BEFORE YOU BUY!!!

TL;DR:
(This game is similar to ARK/Conan Exiles/Pokemon ((loosely believe it or not))/
Legend of Zelda:Breath of the Wild.
Personally I feel this game is Unique and a perfect combination of various
mechanics of many different games. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY FRIENDLY TO NEW
PLAYERS/GAMERS and very fun and worth the pricetag )


ARK/CONAN COMPARISON: (I have experience with these just haven't played them in a while)

~The leveling system and how you unlock recipes is similar, and the Pals can be caught and tamed and used to help gather resources in the world and work various things in your base that you build.

~UNLIKE ARK/Conan (maybe?) Each Pal has a different degree of work suitability meaning only certain pals can perform certain tasks or be assigned certain jobs.



POKEMON COMPARISON: (I've only played Red and Y but here goes)

~Art style loosely, some Pals resemble Pokemon, but given that there are 905 species of Pokemon at time of writing, I'm pretty sure my washing machine resembles a pokemon at this point? idk.

(TYPE MATCH-UP. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST SECTION OF REVIEW LOL)
~The Pals have element typing that works slightly different from Pokemon, each element is only weak to one type or strong against one type other than Fire, and the typing is as Follows:

FIRE>GRASS>GROUND>ELECTRIC>WATER>FIRE
(also)
FIRE>ICE>DRAGON>DARK>NEUTRAL

(If attack types don't have match-ups they deal baseline damage for that attack.)

~There is a Compendium that grows with each Pal seen/caught.

~BATTLES ARE NOT TURN BASED, THE SKILLS JUST HAVE COOLDOWNS, AND IF YOU RIDE A PAL YOU HAVE DIRECT CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING IT CAN DO.




ZELDA BREATH OF THE WILD/TEARS OF THE KINGDOM COMPARISON:
(Have played a decent bit)

~The stamina system looks similar but is mechanically similar to almost every stamina system lol.

~The glider mechanic, but it is much more expanded upon.

~The climbing mechanic, though Conan also has the exact same mechanic.
~The map design actively rewards you for exploring and there is no wrong way to go after completing the Tutorial.


FUN FACTS ABOUT PALWORLD:

~Palword lets you do some crazy stuff and is aware of its "jank", that's part of the charm, for example there have been updates, but the Palworld space program continues to exist (DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT GLIDER)

~THE PENGUINS ARE HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

~I didn't technically beat the "TUTORIAL" until about LVL 20, but the leveling is definitely a bell curve.

~YOU CAN EDIT ALMOST EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME TO MEET YOUR LIKING. EX: Day and night length, damage multipliers, resource harvest rate, PAL CATCH RATE/CHANCE, and various other settings, making this game Particularly friendly to new players and even new gamers in general.

~There is truly no wrong way to play.
