Palworld is soulless contentfarm slop created by a company of hacks that exists solely to rake in cash by appealing to, copying, and emulating existing industry trends. The game runs terribly, plays horribly, and wastes my time. An empty, lifeless, and poorly textured gameworld, generic and likely stolen fakemon designs, tired and stale basebuilding, mindnumbing survival mechanics, pisspoor gunplay, and the worst automation systems I've yet to see come together and form a game that says, achieves, and promises nothing interesting or innovative. This game feels like a worse version of every mid open-world survival-crafting cashgrab made in the past 5 years. I suppose it could be fun "with friends :)", if you're not expecting anything different or exciting, or if your brain is so rotted by YouTube Shorts that anything promising a fresh, unique, and memorable experience simply flies under your radar.

By far the best part of Palworld is that my girlfriend has Game Pass, so I didn't have to waste 30 dollars on this garbage.
