    Hot take: game is fun, not great but it’s early acess so it could get better

    Honestly feels more like the Pokémon anime than the games in many ways but in a good way, little things like letting out my fire pal as a light source while mining at night feels better than anything gamefreak has done in the last 20 years

      Honestly, this is why I think all the complaints about it being edgy and stuff are overblown.
      As easy as it is to call Palworld “pokemon with guns”, it’s really just pokemon. JUST pokemon. It’s Pokemon as a 3d openworld adventure game, instead of abstracting through turn orders and menus. It’s pokemon where you can do all the things implied or outright stated in the official games. It’s not pokemon with guns, it’s pokemon that lets you use the guns.
      If they do it well they could end up making the best pokemon game in terms of immersion, they’ve just stopped saying that being the main character makes what you do inherently good.
