Imagine the Elden Ring map, Pokemon Legends Arceus gameplay, and the ARK Survival Evolved progression system. Palworld is the greatest survival sandbox game of all time.

Rating: 8/10 Review: Lets be honest, The game is fun. Its evolved (no pun intended) far beyond the "Pokemon with guns" game. It has its on identity, its own mechanics, its on story. The gameplay is smooth and enjoyable. The Pals (most of them) look cool and fun to use. the map is massive and creative. Everything about this game is grand. Almost. My biggest gripe about this game is the human characters. Most of them...
Great game, can make the game into anything you want. Collecting cute 'pets' that you can breed and catch kinda like pokemon. Explore a vast map with lots of terrain and places to explore, can also be a dungeon crawler you can fight bosses and raiders etc. Complete quests and build your base, and much much more. Overall lots of gameplay and different game styles you can play, i 100% recommend.
