I like that it promotes kindness and helping others. I think some of the players can use this guidance. I like that it has an unstuck button. I wish I didn't feel so lost at times. As a senior player who didnt have the childhood I should have. I'm enjoying this at a late age but my eyesight is not what it used to be and I shot someone's pet & luckily it didn't die. Thought it was a chappa.. My friends that are living don't play sadly. So I mostly play alone. If you are a senior and play this game say hello. I may not be as good as the younger one's but I like that I parent myself and make myself earn playtime. It works for me. it's better than watching TV all the time. Wave hello or say hello if you are a senior player.

I've spent more than 1700 hours in Palia, and I can honestly say it's one of the most enjoyable and relaxing games I've ever played. What I love most is the freedom to play at my own pace—there’s no time pressure, no fear of missing out, and no penalty for taking a break. Whether I’m farming, fishing, decorating my plot, or just chatting with villagers, the game always feels welcoming and cozy.
Palia encourages creativity and exploration without stress. You can focus on the parts you enjoy most. It's also a great game to play with friends or just to relax on your own after a long day.
If you’re looking for a peaceful MMO-style life sim with beautiful environments, wholesome vibes, and a supportive community, I highly recommend giving Palia a try. It’s brought me so much joy, and I’m excited to keep playing for many more hours to come!

Not for introverts but extroverts will enjoy. I've played this game almost 100 hours now and while I did enjoy playing it I probably won't play for much longer. Once I got to Exquisite Level Tools it got unplayable for me personally. I am extremely introverted and I like solo playing games. I don't like talking in game chat and will do everything I can to avoid it so once you reach the stage where you need an insane amount of Flow Wood Planks then I can't really enjoy playing anymore. I don't want to have to constantly call out for help to grind flow trees that are uncuttable without a group to make cute furniture. Clothes cost ~$30 or more a set, pets are something like $15 and you can't get them any other way but through the premium shop. Crops take at least 3 hours of real time to grow with watering in between and if they aren't watered their growth pauses so no planting and logging back in later to collect. Takes an hour to process a single crop to increase it's value and you're limited to 9 plots of soil (9 plots w/ 9 spaces so 81 crops total) so you can't really grind crops for money quickly. There is also no way to trade other players or give things away to another person. You can make a request for an item you've already obtained but not one you haven't gotten yourself before and you can't ask a specific person to fill the request. Overall it's cute and a fun game to kill some time but I don't want to be forced to interact with people just to continue playing.

I’ve spent some time in Palia, and I have to say it’s a beautiful, heartwarming game that really nails the cozy MMO vibe. The world feels alive, the art style is gorgeous, and the activities like farming, fishing, and crafting are all super relaxing. The community aspect is also great. You can tell the developers put a lot of love into creating a space where players can connect and have fun together.
However, one feature I feel is missing which is something that would make me return in a heartbeat. It's the ability to share a plot with a friend or partner. Imagine how amazing it would be to build and decorate a home together, farm side by side, and truly create something special as a duo. So many people, especially couples, are looking for a game like this, and adding shared plots would make Palia even more unique and nostalgic feelings from Star Stable. It’s a feature that would take me back to the days of collaborative gameplay in classic games, and I believe it would only add to the game’s charm and popularity.
I really hope the developers consider this addition. Palia has so much potential to grow, and I’ll be keeping an eye on updates. Until then, I’ll wait for the day I can return and build a shared home with a friend. It’s a small change that could make a huge impact!

I love that this is an MMO that doesn't focus on combat and rewards cooperation. It's aesthetically pleasing to look at and fun to play. You can also see all the ways in which this game will be able to further develop and expand as time goes on. I look forward to be a continuing player in several years.

Basically if you show interest in one thing in this game, you get sucked into a giant black hole of an never ending fascinating gameplay.
I kid you not, this hypnotizes you if you ever find something interesting in this game and there are tons of stuff to do in it.
And it's not pay to win, meaning money here won't give you advantages.
The way it was designed, it's just perfect. No conflict, chill games, everyone wins, no one sad, no one bored, always something to do.
It is insane, specially if you have friends. Fish with your friends, mine, hunt, explore, sell, buy, craft, cook, customize your house... or do it all alone, it's still fun as hell.
I think it's been 6 days and it's been 50 hours of gameplay so far. I'm consumed by it.
I recommend this 100%.
Hmm and a little tip if you're considering playing it, upgrade your tools. I did the mistake of not doing that for three days, I got left behind, silly me.
Happy gaming!
