One of my facorite features of Palworld that i wish other survival games would adopt, is that if you place resources in a container within the border of your base you can access those resources from any crafting table in the base.
you would love grounded
How does that work? Can other players access it too?
they use AI for assets and to manipulate social media. no thx
Grounded has the best and most user friendly mechanics I've seen. Its just sad that theres nothing much to do after you finish the game
@@NoodleBoy26 grounded is really slept on. It felt like a pretty complete survival game even during the alpha test
As much of a mess it can be at times, I’ve had more fun playing Palworld than any recent Pokémon games.
That's because palworld did what Pokemon wouldn't, and changed the formula. Pokemon has been the same game for 3 decades now just with different pokemon per game. They have done nothing to be different
That is not hard to do. You can have more fun breathing then playing any recent Pokemon game.
@dubblejumpchump this is like an upgraded fully functional legends arceus
People mention pokemon first because its the first comparison that comes to mind @NukeSonys
@@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figure Fully functional is a bit of a stretch, its a great game, loads of fun, but it's buggy af.

"Is that zapdos?"

Built a base near the giant elephant boss … he stumbled in at level 18, killed most of my pals, but I ended up catching him 17 levels early 😭 it’s pretty solid for an early access.
This… is your reason why it’s a solid game?😂
@@AnonYmous-hu7jo Freedom in finding solutions is quite attractive. It's the same way I fought against my first legendary. Loved it.
@@AnonYmous-hu7jolol
@@AnonYmous-hu7jo I think he meant a solid monster rather than the game but i guess tht still applies
Being able to ride , swim or fly on a mount and still be able to attack or catch pals while on the mounts is a overlooked kudos.
Swimming on a pal, more like drowning with how your head is below water 😂
I was surprised tbh I was able to ride and shoot
@@GravitasZero like the older pokemon games where you could still dive below the water
@@GravitasZeroI found a glitch where I was running on the ocean floor, NGL it was pretty surreal, there's grass down there, felt like I was in the Elysian feilds
even simpler, grabbing stuff from the ground while mounted. that alone is already something alot of games don't have.
This is a waaaaay better experience than most of the shovelware survival crafting games on Steam. As long as it isn't permanently in early access, and doesn't get abandoned, I'll be happy with it
They apparently announced Workshop Support. So, if the Community goes hard, the Game will sustain for years.
Considering PocketPair just made $80 Million in profit over the weekend and made their 20-30 employees multi-millionaires, I don't think it's likely they're going to abandon the game.
Apperently they had a 10k dollar budget for this game so who knows, maybe its just a quick cashgrab with little or slow updates in the future. Probably still worth 26E just to enjoy it for the time being tho@@Joreel
@@nedbear1970 doesn't matter if it's abandoned by devs since there will be mod support that will indefinitely lengthen the lifespan of a game
@@nedbear1970definitely not a 10k budget. Game was announced three years ago and has 40 Japanese employees working on it.
It cost them millions. Probably 5-10 million. Instead of 100-200 like bigger games
When Jake said he isn't info Survival games normally but this one got him hooked, I felt that something about it doesn't feel as boring as other survival ark types especially with friends
I think it’s plenty interesting. If you stop thinking about what it copies and just immerse yourself in it, it becomes its own thing. I’m greatly enjoying exploring the world, slowly building up my base, meeting all the Pals one at a time. It’s funny cause if you stop caring about which Pokemon they imitate the Pals begin to shine.
They really have a gold mine in their hands right now. If they keep the content coming and really flesh out this game it’s going to be incredible
The update added bunch arrow creating by 3x lovely update
It's a good thing 😌
Yes and no, its already sold a lot, so if theres nothing more to buy, theres no more money to make = abandon game. Happens all the time with EA.
@@JoshTheMadLad they could easily add microtransactions that aren’t predatory and it would make them a bunch more money
Yeah but if they did that..peoples trust would go down and future game they make will suffer
The devs are hiring. Immediately after Palworld's release, I saw in their news that they're looking to bring on new members into their company.
That speaks loads on them wanting to make sure this game gets the development it deserves!
Now they can certainly afford to!
Started with a $10k Budget, Now they have over $70m+ to go all in on this IP and expand into a world wide success like Pokemon managed to do over the years. @@SALT_KING
The guy who did the assets/effects is just a highschool kid that had a part-time job on the convenience store the devs liked to go, so it makes sense they wanted to hire some more people now.
@@rockstepguy3524 Yeah and the devs themselfs didn't really know how to make games either haha just the senior dev who pointed them in the direction of Unreal Engine. That interview was hilarious
Hopefully they don’t pull a Valheim and but this game on the back burner , delivering mediocre/okay-ish update after mediocre/okay-ish update that took way too long for what they were

So here’s my take and perspective. I came across Palworld through a friend after it’s release as he described it as Pokemon with guns(more like Pokemon with survival) which is intriguing and surprising that Nintendo hasn’t jumped on this themselves cause the people clearly want it. Going into it I thought the game looked familiar and came to realize the developers also developed Craftopia (breath of the wild clone) not a bad game but when comparing it to Palworld it’s just not as put together. It would seem that Palworld has received more love and has more intricate features even in early access. It also gives a very comforting feeling reminiscent of playing games as a kid. This mindless excitement. What’s there is good but definitely needs to be fleshed out in the long run. My main concern is that both Palworld and craftopia are both in early access. I wish they’d finish what was on one plate to solidify the core gameplay, identity, and world a bit more. But I’m no game developer. Palworld is definitely the most exciting survival game in my library currently. It definitely has some faults and buggy moments but is definitely worth supporting. Looking forward to its growth and full release🤘🏽
pokemon legends arceus is a pokemon survival game similar to palworld that nintendo did make
30hrs in so far. I like the small details they added like before a fire pal goes to sleep, it will go around my base and light all the torches for the night. Some of it is comical like seeing a tiny fluffy pal defend a base with an assault rifle. All around crazy and fun game.
Awe, fire pals do this!? That's adorable now I might make torches for my base after all.
Amother really small detail is that the higher you go the colder it get , some dude in my server decide to build a 130 floors tower and he confirm this 😂
Also fire/ice pals warm/cool you too. So a fire pal out at night should keep you from freezing while naked
That's one thing I actually dislike because it's trying to light my lights from outside my house and will just stand there...menacingly
It would help if there was a single pal that looked at least okay. They all look like shitty tumblr fan art.
If Pokemon addressed the void in the gaming market then Palworld wouldn't exist because wants and needs from within the market would have ALREADY been properly met.
But Pokemon did not address the void in the market, so Palworld addressed it for them.
I hope Palworld continues to be an example of what happens when you neglect the market and ALLOW competitors to do a better job than you.
Palworld deserves every bit of success that it's getting.
Agreed. Pokemon keeps making games for children. The original pokemon game fans are now in their 30s or close to it.
They probably so jealous and be like wow why we didn’t think of this before 😂
@@haydenhamilton3109 to be fair like there last game made 25m sale which is very very high and was at the top so many still buying them no matter how lazy they are
Imagine palworld makes an anime, an interesting world with some story. And keep building on it. Do it like Pokémon did but indeed grow with the market and innovate and listen to their fans. Pokémon has become too arrogant.
I declare that Palworld is the most excellent game. It surpasses CS2, DOTA2, PUBG, Baldur's Gate 3, elden ring, GTA5, APEX, Fortnite, COD, monster hunter, 2077, p5r. No other games can compare with Palworld. Palworld has created a new way of making games. The game industry will definitely thank Palworld in the future. My god, it's amazing that I can play such an interesting game in my life.
A fleshed out story with missions, small boats, cities and combat arenas would sell me completely.
We also need cool starting Pals to choose, maybe a teleportation or similar travel system... And if they want this game to succeed long term they need a really good end game to tie everything together
Palworld scratches the itch that OG Pokemon gamers have been wanting for so long. There's so much potential here, and the fact that it's not limited to dated hardware like the Switch is huge too.
Yeah , man. I recently started playing the hell of my Switch, and SO many of the games have a crap framerate. Its not aging well.
Palworld is what happens when you mix nostalgia with a bit of insanity. And I'm totally here for it! 😍🎮
This game feels like every early access game on steam combined into one and somehow it’s a more finished game than anything Pokémon has produced since black/white 2. Seriously. It’s actually a lot of fun
Yeah
One thing I really appreciate in this compared to pokemon is that every single pal actually has full and mostly unique animations for all of their attacks which for me adds so much to the game
Game freak could never
Gamefreak: Best I can do is a generic shake animation
Working animations too. Watching a depresso do anything in the base is hilarious
Yes and gameranx never mention this in the video smh
@@goodtimesgivecancer1watching them drop their pickaxe or drag eggs on the floor is really funny 😂
I was skeptical of Palworld at first, but after starting my playthrough of it, I've come to love it! There are so many features I wish Pokemon had, that I can explore and play with in Palworld :) That being said, I still also love Pokemon too
People comparing this to Pokemon really need to learn about a little game franchise called Dragon Quest Monsters. The concept for battling and capturing monsters to work alongside you came in 1992 before Pokemon and then became what Palworld basically is in 1998.
This game is more closely related to that than Pokemon.
As a Pokemon fan, I can confirm that this game has achieved what Game Freak should have accomplished a long time ago, and I'm really enjoying it.
Indeed! I hope they take notice and actually make something like this. I remember that old pc game this guy made for Pokémon that was like this but he got sued to oblivion to stop.
OG Pokemon fan here, and absolutely will confirm. Palworld is what Pokemon shouldve been. Full stop.
It really proves how lazy and poor Game Freak really are. Just riding that same wave... lame. Hopefully now it gives them the actual kick up the arse to realise, they need to try and that will bring fans back but who knows now.. The last few games were a little.. meh.
This game is really enjoyable and I am hoping they bring a bunch of things that prolong the life of the game.
@@CymbalMonkey Not trying to suck GameFreak dicks but I recall them stating on a interview that usually what they want is a 4 year cycle to make a pokemon game but since its being rushed to every fucking year the quality and everything else pretty much goes out the window, which is fucking sad. Loving Palworld though playing with my kids and I know it has a lot of problems too but if they could work on those, add more pals, fix bugs etc it might be a contender for GOTY ngl.
@@CymbalMonkey I think this game will finally knock some sense into them, they have been untouchable in their Pokemon Catch and Battle games for so long, now this game has finally did it.
PokeArk of the Wild is pretty fun. Pretty clean for an Alpha as well.
That’s what I keep saying, bro this is Alpha build! Like they admitted they’re giving this next year to continue strong development.
Let’s just hope this insane payday doesn’t make them cash out early.
I hope they do what no man sky did in a sense. I hope they reinvest a lot of the money to make this already good game even better@williamndiii
I'm so using that nickname for Palworld
PokeArk of the Wild Quest. Perfection…
@@DaDude2011 Although, with it being an alpha, I am VERY tempted to stop playing and return at a later date. I don't want to re-encounter every Pal. It might be better to leave some for later.
I've been seeing a ton of mention online. Just finished the free preview, and I'm impressed. It has plenty of similarities yet differences from all the games it has been compared to to set it apart. I'm not a huge survival game fan and definitely not a Pokémon fan but this game itched a scratch that no game has since I first played Minecraft.
I appreciate your review. It gave me additional insight on what to expect if (when) I decide to buy it. I would also add that the price is very reasonable. Some games that have had a typical (~$60) price on release have been a buggy mess and dont quite deliver on expectations. Your mention of the less finished aspects don't bother me much considering it is pre-release .
Overall, it seems this game has had so many comparisons in part because it is somewhat unique. So far it seems to deserve the recognition it is receiving. Fingers crossed the development team is able to keep their vision in mind as they move towards release and deliver the awesome experience they have shown off thus far.
The more realistic style of the environment kind of contrasts with the style of the creatures but the gameplay itself looks kinda fun
I'm not usually a fan of survial-esque games, but this game is addictive. It hits all the right things in my brain, progression, open world, heavy on crafting, but perhaps the biggest thing for me is the Pals!! So adorable, and the fact that they can help you in your base instead of just being there is top-tier.
Can you tell me if I buy the early access game, will I also have to pay for the finished game?
I've never been into a survival game, but this one has somehow gotten my attention. It's fun to have little creatures around who can help me survive instead of having to rely on surviving long enough to craft a gun
Thsts cause ur gen Z and like furries. Why this game is so popular. Ark is exactly like palworld without furry anime creatures. @TrainerAQ
@@jubronni599 On steam? Once its bought its bought.
@@user-to2wd1mu7v lol imagine generalizing a whole generation on an anonymous profile.
I seriously hope Gamefreak takes note and starts to deliver top quality games. This early access game is in much better shape than Scarlet/Violet was.
They will more likely sue Palworld for it's likeliness to Pokémon and continue to make sub par games.
100% They would rather use resources to sue away any good Pokemon game than make their own. @@RoomofMima
Gamefreak delivering top quality games? You're wishing for hell to freeze man.
Or they can just make a main line game in the same vain as Legends was.
Sure ive heard that S/V was pretty much that, but i also heard that some of better parts of Legends are missing.
@@RoomofMimathey absolutely have no stake in a lawsuit. First off, it’s on Gamepass and you’ll never out money Xbox. Second, it has very little of anything to do with the IP of pokemon. Third, Gamefreak doesn’t own the concept of “catching cute monsters in spheres”. They can sue all they want but it won’t go anywhere.
I love that you can set your own parameters for your world. Some people say this game is "too easy". They must not realize they can make it more challenging. They just must love complaining instead of challenging themselves.
That game doesn't become more challenging when you change the settings. It becomes more tedious. You do less damage and receive more. It's harder to catch pals or they become less frequent.
No new mechanics or anything to make the game more interesting. It is an easy game and it doesn't change at higher difficulty settings.
The thing with this game is it caters to those who aren't big survival game fans.
I love survival games, but compared to Ark, rust ect the grinding in Palworld is fairly light, that comes down to the pals helping.
This game could be huge, it's just where they go from here. Either way, I'll be here for the ride.
True,its more chiller game, play on your own pace without racing other player. But once people play it once I don't think it had replayability,not that it need one. Most story game, people also play it once
You would probably be more interested in Enshrouded if you haven't heard of it yet.
@@Anisba100 what's that?

But just enjoy the game.
So what it rip off pokemon didn't all games a knockoffs other Gamez lol.
Just nobody dared to try a pokemon crown.
I've never been a fan of Pokemon and I still don't play those games, but I absolutely love this game. Palworld is so dope
I don't get it. I played it for like 7-8 hours last night. The game feels very clumsy and half assed. It's sluggish to control. The melee combat is god awful. The shooting is OK at best. The bow feels pretty good, automating your base by enslaving little cutesy creatures is kinda fun. But mostly it's just a bog standard survival crafting game. Go punch some trees for some wood. Go punch some rocks for some stone. It's not offensively bad, but i genuinely do not get the appeal.
@@johnwrath3612 at like 20ish hours almost all of that is automated and most of the gameplay includes hunting new pals which in my opinion is the best part
The problem with Pokemon is it hasn't updated in 30 years. I don't like the overuse of "survival" mechanics, but at least Palworld is trying to add something to creature capture games for once.
@@johnwrath3612it feels clumsy and halfassed bc its not done lol its in EA but honestly i dont find a problem with the combat and it improves the more you play aswell
If everything is automated at 20 hours, you're play on easy or extra easy mode. I'm playing on a customized normal mode and things change dynamically as I progress and explore the map I'm well over 20 hours in and have only explored maybe a quarter of the entire map. The map is huge
I’ve wanted this kinda game ever since I knew what Pokémon was. I shedded tears when I opened up the game and saw the graphics knowing that this was as close as my dream would be made reality. And this is STILL just the beginning. I can’t wait to see what happens next. :)
Haven't heard of this game until someone spoke about it while playing project zomboid the other day. Went through about 20 videos trying to find out what it was all about and finally your video represented it very clearly and it sounds like what I've always wanted and more in a pokemon mmo haha
I'm so glad to finally see a game that's exploding but also fun! Definitely a breathe of fresh air.
Who are you 🤔
What is up with people from 3rd world countries buying verified accounts and then using bots to boost their stolen or AI generated comment?
More of these slop channels. Great.
Why are you spamming this comment all over videos about this game? Are you a paid bot?
A game that is five other games stitched together and character design that's just bad tumblr fan art is "a breath of fresh air"? I don't see it. They couldn't even have any creativity for the name of the creatures or world.
He even said it's lifeless and devoid of character.
I love how my Pal will look for stuff to work on when we get back to base. A stupid thing, but I enjoy little things like that.
Well, you can make very good working Produktion lines.
For example, use Level 2 Mining pala and the Squids for transporting (Plus God of course) by the big ore field near the Church in the Red biome, and you got unlimited Iron and Spheres if you place your base with a Rock inside.
this is what future pokemon game should look like. being a pokemon trainer is more than just capturing monsters and battling. despite Game Freak being a multi billion dollars company, their recent game's graphics and gameplays hasn't seen much upgrade at all.
I was skeptical at first, got it for me and my kiddo to play. I honestly am having a blast on it more than I should be lol.
Despite the jank and bugs, The gameplay loop is addictive.
Yeah, the game is still pretty rough in a lot of ways. But it is still the very beginning of Early Access. They're definitely owed some patience.
For sure dude! Loving this game!
@@Amins88 yup ive bought too many recent releases to jump on some thing esp early access.. but this one shows promise ill buy it a month or two later after some qol changes/ bug fixes for an even better experience.
It's great because it takes all the extra boring stuff out. If your materials are in any chest in your base, you can use them to craft at any station. If you want to fast travel, there's no animation, just touch a statue you already touched, and you can instantly travel. There's NO PICK UP ANIMATION. Just gameplay. Such a satisfying game.
And there are no dumb and useless dialogues that you are forced to watch like in the last pokemon games
At the very least I hope this lights a fire under Game Freak. The popularity of this game only goes to show that this is a kind of game people want from Pokemon which GF/Nintendo could have made themselves but stubbornly have not.
Palworld is absolutely the best early access game to release in years. And yes, it may be a bit lifeless at times, but I think, in five years, you won't recognize it from all the new content and features that get added. They've already released a couple quality of life updates, which speaks volumes about the devs. I have very high hopes for this one, as so far is combined all the elements from my favorite survival games and improved on most.
As far as being a Pokémon ripoff, it's just not. If anything it's a spoof of Pokémon.
It’s crazy how all these AAA games these days are broken and incomplete on release. Meanwhile a small Japanese dev is shitting on them. Even if you don’t like games like this, you have to give them credit for raising the standard a bit.
This game is fire. Pokemon should’ve been at this point already. All this game need is a fire story and Pokemon is history
Considering Pokemon is one of the highest grossing games in history, i very much doubt this.
Ya this could actually be more profitable. less Mons more memorable you have to live with Pokemon and the ycan faint you and people can get captured. Pokemon got rich and lazy. This was low budget and I heard the Xbox version sucks because its early early access but man ive never seen this much hype for a video game in a long time
@Draconic_Incenerator he's not wrong this game has potential to take over if they keep with it
You are insane if you think this is a threat to pokemon at all. They're not even remotely similar gameplay wise and once you beat the 5 bosses there is literally nothing else to do in the game, specially on console where its limited to 4 players and no pvp
@DJGaming-XSX no it doesn't. Seriously do you guys not realise how big pokemon is? Also don't forget it's not on the switch so how is it ever going to be a threat
"see if nintendo sues them to the ground" is such a raw and funny one liner
You know the real irony?
The Pocket Pair CEO used to work at Nintendo to some extent.
And both Nintendo and Pocket Pair HQs are both close by to each other.
Palworld is what I was hoping the direction that Pokémon would take after Legends Arceus. It's also saving me from breaking and buying the Ark "upgrade". Palworld hits all the same notes with better automation in my bases. Just an all-round fun weird pokemon knock-off.
Not only that but it is half the price of one of those shitty Pokemon games too... haha Pokemon sucks really. They had ample time to get to this stage, or at least, something similar and actually do something but they didn't.
We already had Pokemon clones anyway... Nexomon and others are already out there and they still changed some of the formula... like having the choice of any type, as your first type. Pokemon have done the same shit and it's just tedious really. I hope Game Freak pull their fingers out and actually get something done
@@CymbalMonkey 1/4 the price, because you know you always have to buy both pokemon games or you're going to miss out.
to give all due credit, Arceus took 6 years to develop. it was one of the best received pokemon games of all time, but it would take a few years before they would be able to make another legends style game. though we can assume, since it was given a series title and a personal title. we will likely see another legends game in the next few years, like we did with the mystery dungeon and rumble series.
Something I love about the game is the combat and party building. In pokemon only the active pokemon really fights and they all generally do the same thing. In palworld they can all have beneficial abilities to help on the adventure. Pokemon sorta tried this with hm moves, and then later just gave up on that.
Pokémon also do different things in battle. That is what abilities are. But I do get what you mean. Outside of battles, picnics, and super training, there’s not much to do in Pokemon but the story. Do you feel like both the games have positives and negatives? (Genuine question. Not trying to be rude or nothing)
the good about pokemon its their first game the next series just milking from the success@@zemellion26
@@zemellion26 what he is saying is in palworld other pals in your party can be involved in the combat depending on their partner skills without them being on the field
@@ilovecats3169 oh i know that. I play both games, but I was specifically talking about in battle
@@zemellion26that's what the other person means. You can unlock pals passives to aid you by just being in your party. Some follow you even if they are not the party leader, others add elemental dmg to your attacks, some make your leader pal stronger, etc.
Besides the fact it crashes all the time on Xbox this game is actually insanely fun. It's the first survival game I've enjoyed playing. I haven't played a lot of them but I have played Ark, Minecraft, Grounded, and Lego Fortnite
I really hope the Pokémon company can’t sue and ruin this game. Wayy better than Pokémon, their games have been extremely babified and stale for about a decade
I really think the people saying that this game stole assets from Pokemon are really grasping for straws, because there ain't anything resembling Pokemon in here at all. Even the rabbit, being the most plausible is just literally "The Easter Bunny" generic as can be just painted green and even Nintendo stole from the same source there. Grow up, nintendrones, and find alternative hobbies that don't involve raging in social media.
This game came out of no where for me, my first impression going in was a meme , expected to play not more than an hour and now 20+ hours, I’m hooked. I love Pokémon and now I love pals as well. Game has great potential and I am looking forward to it!
Pokemon as a concept yes, but the pokemon company its trash today.
I love how well animated the pals are and how diverse their actions are. The sanity mechanic also adds more depth. Tons of stuff to do, collect, and craft. It's varied and well paced enough that it rarely gets dull. I hope some good story content gets added later down the line and of course there's been some bugs, but I can't really complain so far.
I appreciate that they appreciate getting pets.
The animation of Ryptryo dipping his front feet in the hot springs because he's too big to fit made me appreciate the detailed animations.
Depresso mining is iconic.
If they reinvest the money back into the game and expand on the characters and writing and overall lore/world, while addressing any pathing issues and problems, it could really be something great.
Having a cohesive open world mmorpg is so hard to make. The game looks super fun. Genshin Impact was good but I could never fully enjoy it. Most of Genshin Impact hype comes from fan service anyway. Palworld looks promising with lots of features to invest your time into.
When you're enjoying a game but has many harsh things to say about it, it means you're hooked and you want the company to do better and succeed! You described how I feel about this game well. Palworld has a bright future as long as they keep working on it

I'm one of those people who would actually be 100% okay with the game staying as it is right now. Its phenomenal and a really good experience in my book.
I think this game will improve drastically over the year, considering it’s only been out for a week and I doubt the developers were expecting such a massive reception I’m sure they’ll have the money to make a full story inside and much more
It doesn't feel like early access at all.
@@Jonas-ej7id Compared to most other games, it really doesn't.
It's definitely rough on ends but it's pretty feature complete, just needs the polishing
Considering the game is obviously blatantly inspired by popular titles like Pokémon and Breathe of the Wild.
I’m sure they expected it to blow up.
Pocket Pair has a huge history of abandoning their IP to work on the next project. Or selling it off to be updated to even smaller companies.
They already have things on their plate for the next game.
Which is literally stolen HollowKnight assets.
What is amazing is this game with 0 marketing, ads, or other outside exposure IS DOING NUMBERS. Take note devs trailers only get you but so far.
I bought it off a friend recommendation bringing it up and have loved it I'm about halfway through the level progression at 25 now and feel like yes there's more to come but am okay with the 30 buck price tag for what it is now. I'm interested to see what more they can bring to the table.
This game caught me really off guard. My expectations going into it were low, but man is it addicting. It checks off so many boxes for me and is straight up just fun, with friends or grinding solo. I haven't played a game you just want to grind all day and when you get off, you think about it since Jedi Fallen Order. I know it’s early to call this my game of the year, but this has been a pleasant surprise
Agreed. I'm a Pokemon fan and I'm not offended or triggered one bit! "Purists" need to just stop. This is not a ripoff of Pokemon. Maybe some questionable designs could come into play, which in that case they'll just redesign the character to look less like the Pokemon equivalent. However, the game itself is (as you said) addicting. I too went in with low expectations, thinking it would just be a trending thing I put away after an hour. Nope, I found a new game I want to explore more and complete.

The thing I love the most about this is they nailed the Pokemon type open world game I was wanting. The survival aspect makes it even better, you can fight alongside your mons, there are bosses and dungeons.
And also you’re incentivised to ‘Catch them all’ because you can use the additional pals to upgrade existing ones. Every pal has a use in your bases as well. It’s the perfect formula.
Can you tell me if I buy the early access game, will I also have to pay for the finished game?
@@jubronni599usually no
@@jubronni599 No. You will not have to pay for the finished game.
They nailed it if you're a slow child and easily entertained.
@@jpes609 are you a fast child and hardly amused?
haven't played yet. But I wonder if water combat could add an interesting spin
I'm such a fan of this game, I feel like it will improve with time. Can't wait to see where it's headed.
I spent hours farming crops, chopping trees, and mining stones. All it accomplished is make me want to play farming sims. So i ended up trying Story of Seasons and Coral Island instead. Much more my speed.
You can edit your world settings to make it less grindy.. I did that and Im enjoying it even more.
I think if you want to see Palworld as what it is, you should see the Dev's previous game, Craftopia. Because that game pretty much follows the same idea, it might even be the seed that makes Palword possible.
Palword and Craftopia feels like a game that a kid dreamed of (imagine combining Breath of Wild, Fortnite and DayZ) then someone actually put it the effort to actually make it. It's like turkey curry on Boxing Day, it was made with leftovers. It shouldn't work, but somehow it works, and it was delicious. I really wanted to see how the devs take it from here
oh wow, I didn't realize it was the same devs that made craftopia. That actually explains a lot. Craftopia was a mostly fantastic game that suffered from excessive grind, but I can see a LOT of the same elements and heart and HUMOR of that game carried over into Palworld. When held in that light it feels less like a mashup of a bunch of popular games and more a sequel to craftopia.(which in itself was a mashup of a few other game styles, but didn't cause nearly as much of an internet fanboy shiitstorm.)
@@ryan_nstuff Huh, I guess Craftopia made them know what to do and don'ts, I didn't play Craftopia but in Palworld, the progression feels really REALLY good for a survival game
@@raka1996craftopia is already abandon and shit. That alone shows and proves this game will get the same treatment. Plus it's 4yrs old and STILL IN EARLY ACCESS LMFAO.
@@user-to2wd1mu7v Yee that's what I'm afraid of, even one of the game I bought is still in early access like 8 years later or probably more, it does get better though, can't really find anything close to Project Zomboid now
Never been into the survival genre but this has me hooked at the moment. My only gripes have been the game crashing, falling through some of the map and some of the pals in bases get stuck sometimes. Apart from that it's fun, massive and you can literally spend hours just messing about exploring.
I think most of those will be addressed, considering the game earned 80 million dollars.
I find myself just flying around, looking for chests and eggs, and still enjoying myself. A game where you can enjoy yourself while doing basically nothing is pretty rare (outside of those bullet heaven survivor type games where all you do is move around).
I’ll be excited to see the final product. It sounds like something new and fun.
See this is what games companies keep on missing that palworlds got right. It's fun! And lots of freedom, the game is cheep and so fun with friends
Me: I sure wish I could find a video with just some straight up gameplay, maybe even some first impressions.
RUclips: you’re gonna love this
Asmongold has some videos of him playing it.
videogamedunkey
Streamers are all about hyping up this game to build up the audience, what with it being a meme game.
It’s not bad but it certainly isn’t that good either.
Played it a while and all that was said in this video is true. This game feels more early EA than many other early EA games I bought the past year.
@@millirabbit4331 His videos are so entertaining because he really shows the limits of how insane you can be and have a blast.
@@millirabbit4331 yeah but they are over 2 hrs long
the best think about palworlds it that there is not one iota of any corporate vibe present.. Like OG minecraft, you can feel free to do anything.
yup it dose give a minecraft feel to it, plus there is so much more room to expand monsters and biomes. I like how they didn't skimp on the hardware too. to many games restrict themselves on it.
It can be messy - the building.
But I love it so much
Has a ton of potential and is well worth the price for the early access. Yes it has some rough edges as it should be with early access but for what is and what it will hopefully grow into it’s off to a great start. Really enjoying it so far.
Is it just me or does Palworld feel like the Pokémon game we all secretly wanted as kids? 🌍🔫
Yes I wanted to steal Pokemons and eat them
Maybe but less base building.
Idk if i wouldve wanted this as a kid. As an adult. I thoroughly enjoy it haha
Depends if you mean kid as in 5 years ago or kid as in 25 years ago. Because nobody did for the first few gens, open world games and survival didn't really exist.
@@swarllybase building is a plus
you can catch the bandits as well
It sounds like the kind of game I’d enjoy playing. I think I’ll wait for it to mature a bit more in early access and pick it up when the current college semester is over in May.
I definitely hope they flesh out the story and NPCs in a future content update. A main story quest and side quests with named NPCs to interact with would go a long way towards making the game feel complete. The gameplay loop is solid, just needs bugfixes and polishing.
With all the money they've made, I hope they expand the team a little bit and go nuts with steady updates. If so, this game will become huge.
Your suggestion will make the game bored and like every failed game
@@leehyunsong7001 >Your suggestion will make the game bored
Having an actual story fleshed out/more NPCs that are actual NPCs?
>and like every failed game
Every failed game failed regardless of whether it had a story or not. How would a "story" ruin Palworld, when it already has one?
The problem is that it's story is incredibly barebones and takes a massive backseat/doesnt incentivise you to do the towers too much. Let alone answer "ok so who actually are these people and why do they matter"
The first thing you see is a vague "The Towers are the key..." and "...the tree holds the truth"
"Why are the towers the key?" and "What's with the tree/why does it matter?"
@@higueraft571 fact: the game already a success
Opinion: i think it will be nice to have a storyline
Who cares?
@@leehyunsong7001 "who cares?" Your point is that a story would make the game "boring" somehow.
@@leehyunsong7001 "who cares ?" apparently you bud, you replied to an opinion with an assumption you present at the fact, and then when someone confronts you with actual arguments, you point out how it's only an opinion.
My god, internet commenter in a nutshell.
My overall opinion, I think this has the potential to be a game that we needed. Whether it's from the source of inspiration or from this developer that had the balls to gather the most successful elements of popular games, this is already a great start. My first impression was "Ark with Pokemon", and it already has the advantage of local servers that don't tether everyone to the host (biggest roadblock to playing casual with friends in Ark).
Tethering was my first major concern so that's a relief. Really shit all over my Ark Survival Ascended experience with friends.
if im playing solo offline then progress and level up get stuff like weapons armor n stuff then go back online and join a friend will my stuff be with me still?
Around 10:30 I thought my cat was trapped somewhere 😂 review is on point though. Thanks
I think the game taps into what people actually want from games: fun. It's not about the lore, worldbuilding, voice acting, story, graphical fidelity, etc. In a way, I think it's the simplicity that makes games like these succeed. It presents you with a very simple gameplay loop that you do again and again. In return, it rewards you with incremental feelings of accomplishment every step of the way. If I had to pick a single element of why most people don't complete most games, it's because their progression systems don't offer that. If you truly felt your own growth in a step by step way in a lot of these other failed games, I think they would be very successful. It's a simple psychological thing that I don't think many developers understand.
My favorite part of this game is when you gathering wood/stone. We went from catching colorful wild animals and forcing them to fight, to catching them and forcing them to do manual labors, work on plantations and THEN forcing them to fight. It's only a matter of time before they add a way for pok- I mean Pals to go on a strike.😂
They do actually go on strike if they get too hungry or aren't happy with working conditions
I love your gaming review videos, always gives me good insight before I buy the game(s) I'm looking into. Hopefully it's as fun as everyone says it is, thanks for another amazing review!
Being early access still palworld already nails it and the devs are constantly updating and adjusting. Give it 6 months and a full release and it could well be a goty contender. Sooo much oportunity for growth in the game.
3:19 Daedream gets hit by arrow.
Also Daedream: smiles and waves.
Fittingly, my first captured Daedream has the masochist trait.
I was very suspicious of it, but I've been really enjoying it. To me it doesn't feel cheap. The "pals" are well thought out and really carry the game. There are interesting combos and they seem to have personality and there are a lot of them. Palworld seems to combine what I like in multiple games in to one.
The ONLY a few complaints I have off-hand R; The Hunger mechanic & Lv. Sync. (How your "Pals" can't be a higher level than your character). Other than that, the world is AWE inspiring, certain Pals look just plain majestic; I have a LOT of other good things to say about the game but I don't want this comment to be 2 paragraphs long...
You can just change the world settings for hunger.
I really love this game so far but my biggest issue that I’ve found is the balance. For example, on one of my multiplayer worlds, my character is level 13 and so are all my pals. That being said, I’ll go fight an enemy half my level and still get two shot with my shield.
Playing it on gamepass and loving it so far, only have played about 3 hours though.
Playing on gamepass to about 21 hours in
39h here. Very fun to travel around the map and gather materials to craft higher tier Pal Balls and catch bosses
I heard gamepass is 2 versions behind. Do you notice anything different from the videos and your version?
Gamepass is always behind, its like microsoft store. @@FlyingInRedWings
Theres no exit button so i have to cloae it using task manager@@FlyingInRedWings
I’ve fell under the map so many times but other than that and a saving glitch every now and then I’ve loved this game so much and I normally play shooter fast paced games
Same I have not touched cod since this dropped missing the events and dont care .. was over cod anyway
I’ve fallen through the map once and I knew it was coming. I tried to jump a see through crack and I made a huge tiny mistake. As for the save glitch, I wish I understood what was causing that. Now every time I see the save icon, I wonder if I will need to get out of the game or if it will for me. That and crashes. Like, no rhyme or reason, just crashes and then none.
''You can ride some of these things, you can mount some of 'em...'', wait, these are 2 separate things?
Yeah. You mount some to ride on the ground and can ride some in the air. It was worded weirdly in the video lol
06:20 Bandit camps are great in the early game. They can give you Pals you can't catch yet. I lucked out and got a lvl 20 Mossanda Lux from one.
I love Palworld probably because it's unfinished. There's no story, no NPCs holding your hand or dragging you to the next objective. You can just pick a direction and GO until you find a fast travel marker or die trying. You can be reckless and the game will provide consequences for that.
A lot of things certainly feel like they have just being "frankenstein'd" in, but the game does feels and plays decently and certain systems are well fleshed out. Hopefully they try to elaborate more on storying telling/building within the game so there is more cohesion. I'm having fun regardless, it's different.
I'd argue that story telling, really isn't required. We are playing as some washed up player, trying to survive the world. He doesn't know anything about it and unless the random NPCs tell us stuff, who cares?! There are random people around campfires, who give a little information about certain places but I think they are also survivors in the same situation?!
Either way, I would rather they focus on fixing bugs/glitches, adding more places, more Pals and other stuff, than story telling because again, they have done small bits and it's most likely going to be open ended.
I played Conan Exiles, the closest game I've played to this, and frankly? I think Palworld already has the same amount of story/worldbuilding that Conan Exiles had. The item descriptions, the npcs, the little logbooks, I think they amount to the same amount that Conan Exiles did imo.
I have to imagine that 90% of the player base are in their 30s (like me) and have finally been given the "Pokemon" game we've all been waiting for our whole lives!
I've had to do my whole work day on 0 hours sleep because I couldn't get off Palworld. I absolutely love it
Damn is this really the case? Haha for once I thought this was a game where I was joining the younger gen.
@@DaDude2011well fear not I for a change will be joining you guys as the younger generation. Pokemon was after my childhood so no nostalgia but this thing looks like a good time. Guns and critters
I'm 48 and love it
I'm having the same experience I had with Legends: Arceus. Which is to say, I stayed up until 9am all weekend playing this game!
Hey I feel called out lol but....I'm surprised everyone keeps saying pokemon. with the guns and the way the world is its more like digimon world
I've been having fun with this particular "kitchen sink" with a group of folks. It is early access so we will see how it holds up a few months down the line but, I am hopeful
The mess is kinda the real charm to it. It's like a kids imagination going wild when you play. They should lean into it more
"before you buys" are the best reviews out there, you always tell us exactly what we need to know about games, that's a great service thx fam
Can you tell me if I buy the early access game, will I also have to pay for the finished game?
@@jubronni599no, if you buy the early access, then you don't have to pay when the game is finished. And the game is on discount at steam
@@jubronni599 NOT how it works. Once you bought it, you own it.
I haven't heard of any game that makes you pay more when the 1.0 releases. I believe it's the same for this. If you buy it now you have it also when the full release comes around.@@jubronni599
@@jubronni599 no.. your early-access game becomes "full-release" version on release
Early game boy Pokemon game:

Just a heads up, in the world difficulty settings set exp rates to x3 and spawn and drop rates to x2, it'll save you a lot of time that would otherwise be justa a boring grind
Great video. I wholeheartedly agree with the comments about how this game feels eerily soulless if you think about it. A mishmash of assets, no character or lore, just a bit strange. But I also do enjoy the satisfaction of having a base with pals conan exiles/ark style progression and casual relaxed fun sitting with my controller and accept it for what it is. I would expect more from other games which are supposed to be narrative driven of course.
Great honest video which sums it up perfectly
one thing to note, in multiplayer if you join others, it seems that it is separate from your single player (even if you select multiplayer) character. its a totally separate character. idk if it was mentioned.
Every world is its own instance. So if you make a world and progress in it then decide you want to join a buddy and join their world you start fresh in that world and progress your data saves per world.
I currently have 3 different worlds I play in and 3 different progressions (one solo, one with my fiance, and one that is my friends world). The nice thing about that is you can have a world that you and a friend or 2 can all progress together in and no one gets left behind.
Isn't this how it is in most games?
It’s Pokémon Arceus (capturing)+ Zelda Botw (graphics, climbing, gliding, fast travel points) + Ark Survival (guns, building and technology tree)
I really hate that you put fast travel under BotW like it hasn't been a major staple in the gaming industry for decades
@@watchingyoutube_I'm really offended that you commented that and might consider taking further action
Don't forget straight up worldbuilding ripoffs like the church from caelid at 1:09
There needs to be some sort of story or lore or something to explain why the world is the way it is. Like explain who made the pal sphere and why and how long its been like this over various quests and found literature.
There probably will be. I'm just going to wait on this one until then. I just don't care to Roam around endlessly without direction. I see this game getting a full release everywhere at full price eventually. I'll wait until then
The castle we see at 1:14 reminds me of the temple of time from Zelda
