Palworld
About This Game
Q. What kind of game is this?
A. In this game, you can peacefully live alongside mysterious creatures known as Pals or risk your life to drive off a ruthless poaching syndicate.
Pals can be used to fight, or they can be made to work on farms or factories.
You can even sell them or eat them!
Survival
In a harsh environment where food is scarce and vicious poachers roam, danger waits around every corner. To survive, you must tread carefully and make difficult choices…even if that means eating your own Pals when the time comes.
Mounts & Exploration
Pals can be mounted to traverse the land, sea and sky—allowing you to traverse all kinds of environment as you explore the world.
Building Structures
Want to build a pyramid? Put an army of Pals on the job. Don’t worry; there are no labor laws for Pals.
Production
Make use of Pals and their skills to make fire, generate electricity, or mine ore so that you can live a life of comfort.
Farming
Some Pals are good at planting seeds, while others are skilled at watering or harvesting crops. Work together with your Pals to create an idyllic farmstead.
Factories & Automation
Letting Pals do the work is the key to automation. Build a factory, place a Pal in it, and they’ll keep working as long as they’re fed—until they’re dead, that is.
Dungeon Exploration
With Pals on your side you can tackle even the most dangerous areas. When the time comes, you might have to sacrifice one to save your skin. They’ll protect your life—even if it costs their own.
Breeding & Genetics
Breed a Pal and it will inherit the characteristics of its parents. Combine rare pals to create the strongest Pal of them all!
Poaching & Crime
Endangered Pals live in wildlife sanctuaries. Sneak in and capture rare Pals to get rich quick! It’s not a crime if you don’t get caught, after all.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer is supported, so invite a friend and go on an adventure together! And of course you can battle your friends and trade Pals, too.
In online co-op play mode, up to 4 players can play together.
Additionally, a dedicated server can allow up to 32 players to play together.
Note: PvP will be implemented in a future update.
Note: The maximum number of players playable on the same server will also be increased in a future update.

I loved pokemon, and still love it. I also like survival games. This is the best of both, creature collector and survival. Nintendo should take notes, not lawsuits.

Nintendo is jealous they can't produce a solid 60fps experience with little to no bugs and frame rate drops with a team 100x larger than palwords dev team. And no its not a Switch hardware issue since TOTK runs very well with little framerate drops and bugs for such a massive open world game on their own console LOL
Support Palworld and support competitive titles that will push Game Freak to not release trash!

Palworld is a very good and fun game. As the tags says, its a open world survival creature collecting game.
Now nintendo is suing Pocketpair on the basis of PATENT infrigement. NOT COPYRIGHT; patents.
They're not coming for the Pal's design, but for gameplay elements.
In the last year, they filed patents for many of these gameplay mechanics.
And now they're coming to sue Pocketpair.
While this game has magic creatures, it mostly resembles a classic open world survival game;
you collect wood, rocks, everything to craft armor, weapons, equipment in general.
You build yourself, your base, and your team of magic creatures to fight bigger and stronger enemies.
What's there that is in common with nintedo games? The creature collecting.
But Creature collecting isn't a gameplay mechanic; it's a GENRE.
Digimon, Temtem, Coromon, Cassette Beasts, many more; these are all Creature Collecting games.
A genre cannot be patented.
If the developers of the first survival games had patented their systems, none of the great survival games we know would have been developed. Stuff like Minecraft, Terraria, Subnautica, and many more.
This game doesn't play like nintendo games. It's an action game, it's not turn based!
You also fight as your character himself, not just watch creatures fight for you!
What nintendo is doing here is evil and greedy.
They're abusing the legal system to try and take down someone that isn't even their competitor.
Palworld doesn't share a platform with their games. They're literally on separate markets.
This game is a good game, and it's very different from those others.
It's much more of a survival open world game, with Creature Collecting and base building and resource automation.
Out of all the creature collecting games that cloned nintendo's games, Palworld really isn't it.
But it's a good game, it's fun, it was ever since its first release. It's still in active development, and gets updated regularly. Its developers focus on the player's fun, and have greatly succeded.
I trust them to keep doing a good job, if they're not stopped by this legal abuse coming from greedy old talentless people that have kept making the same stale game for decades.

Captured Pals, made them work for me, rode some into battles, others tagged along me to assist in attacking other Pals or humans, but at the end of the day we return to base and eat and sleep like 1 big happy family.
And then the next day we do it all again until I got 100% achievements.
Joking aside, pretty fun game, played it all solo, farming materials and leveling up Pals and doing dungeons and exploring is all very nice. Can change a lot of settings including difficulty and spawns and other things that make the game easier or more tough.

Going to be Very Upset if this game gets shut down or even removed because Papa Nintendo got their panties in a bunch and/or wanted Pocketpair's money. The fact that the suit's happening this long after Palworld was basically screamed across the internet (and thus earned a lot of money) reeks of bad faith.
Grumbling about things I have no hand in aside, the game's fun. Runs a bit hot on my PC and there's still this chest that steadily gets further under the ground each time I start a new world, but I don't regret my money or time spent on Palworld. It's got its bugs, flaws, unfinished/generic bits, etc.... but compared to other "survival crafts" in my library, it's still leagues better.

At first its a fun and silly game. Your enjoying catching pals and progressing.
Then one day you stop and look at what you have done. Multiple slave camps with innocent pals being forced to work for you. Mining camps, Factories, Farms and breeding camps. Your a monster!
