Early Access Review
As someone who really hates Pokemon, Hates survival games like ARK, and never played the developers other games, you'd think i wouldn't like this game right? Well you'd be wrong, unlike Pokemon the game isnt an overpriced buggy and ugly mess of a game. The combat is a mix of using your Pals to fight while also engaging in combat yourself with weapons like elemental bows and melee weapons. Your Pals can be equipped with weapons like guns and such and really adds to the game's combat. Yes you can tell Palworld takes lots of liberties and takes a lot ffrom the pages of not only Pokemon but also BOTW with the climbing and even a gliding mechanic, Which i'm perfectly fine with as they improve on it and it enhances the game more. The crafting in this game is pretty fun as while most survival game's crafting gets very tedious and become a boring grind, in Palworld a lot of the grind for materials for crafting can be done automatically by putting your Pals to work and Min Maxing efficiency. If you're still finding the grind in the game Tedious in certain areas you can increase drop rates, EXP gains, how much damage you give or take, and more with the world settings. World settings can be changed even after you've already created your world and you can change them to suit your liking and it really helps with the enjoyment of the game. Now you can't have an enjoyable Survival game like this without some good ol Co-op right? Thankfully Palworld has just that with not only regular person to person Co-op but you can join and host your own private servers! This game reached 2 Million players in 24 hours for a reason and i can't wait to see where this game heads with updates and hopefully new content in the future! Currently the game is in Early Access, yet has more content, less bugs, and more polish than most AAA games asking for double the price

Also i should mention this game is well worth the price considering the fact that Pokemon asks for full price for unfinished, unoptimized, and buggy games that all play very similar and even worse at times. BTW Palworld runs at 60FPS and is well optimized on PC, while i can't say the same for the Steam Deck. YOU SHOULD GRAB THIS GAME, NOW!
