The game encourages players to take care of their Pals by providing shelter, beds, and other necessities. Open World Games appreciates this system, as it adds depth and realism to the gameplay.
Boss Battles and Exploration:
Palworld features challenging boss battles and a diverse open world. Players must enhance their Pal sphere, capture mounts, and strategically match their Pals’ strengths and weaknesses to defeat bosses.
