Key Takeaways:

  • Palworld offers total escapism and is a fun-loving game.
  • It is available on Steam for around $30 and is considered the most stable Early Access game.
  • The game features a wide variety of pals to collect and upgrade, with over 101 different pals available.
  • Players can build their own world, craft items, and engage in boss battles.

Gameplay and Features

Palworld starts with players having practically nothing, similar to Ark Survival Evolved. Players begin with their fists and can level up to unlock technology and crafting materials. The most important item to craft is the pelock, which allows players to sort their pals and use them in various ways. The game also requires players to take care of their pals and themselves, providing a unique system where players must build shelters, gather materials, and ensure the well-being of their pals.

Traversing the Open World and Boss Battles

The open world in Palworld features multiple biomes, including forests, plains, rocky regions, and beautiful red landscapes. Players can capture mounts to use in battle and enhance their pal sphere to capture higher level pals. Boss battles play a significant role in the game, and players must prepare by upgrading their pals and ensuring they are at the appropriate level. Building defenses at the base is crucial to protect against raids, although the AI for raid attacks can be hit or miss.

Cooperative Play and Future Updates

Palworld also offers cooperative play, allowing players to team up with others in multiplayer and co-op modes. The game is currently in Early Access on Steam and will live or die based on the updates and content provided by the developers. Open World Games hopes that the game will receive frequent updates and new content to keep players engaged and satisfied.
