  It’s a legitimately good game. My brother was shitting on it too til he played it.

  After 4 decades of active video game play, the last year or so has been very empty for me.

  Nothing seemed to be satisfying, nothing captured my attention for long.

  Sure I got my Elden Ring character ready for the DLC, but not with enthusiasm.

  Sure I made it to diamond in Duel Masters finally, but it brought me no joy.

  I bought Palworld last night on a whim and it has been 15 hours and the only time I have stopped was to take care of basic needs.

  I am engaged, excited, and enthusiastic to game for the first time in a very, very long time. And the last time I liked a game this much it was Elden Ring at launch and I literally did nothing for 3 months than eat, sleep, work and Elden Ring.

  I feel that Palworld is heading in the same direction.

  Is there jank? Sure, but nothing that has broken my enjoyment yet.

    I just cannot go past the bootleg aspect of everything they take inspiration from copied straight from other games. It just look like a soulless AI-generated game to me.

    But sure it didn’t sell for nothing, the game is surely enjoyable and I didn’t mean to take that from you in my (somewhat caustic) comment.
