I take notes as I play the game for things that I think deserve a mention. If something was not mentioned, it is considered "fine" and not noteworthy in any sense.


Palworld

Pros

  • Homestead
    I usually find homestead/camp building to be quite a boring thing in most games so I dislike the building aspect in games like Minecraft and Fortnite. But in this game, I really enjoyed it.

  • Crafting
    I really liked how you would advance more and more.

  • Difficulty settings
    This game had a lot of difficulty settings to adjust core mechanics of the game. This level is usually what you see as debug features when developing the game.

  • Animal designs
    I really liked the animal designs and thought many of them was pretty cool. It's very animated like pokemon, but it does have it's own style

Neutral

  • Graphics
    The game has a lot of pop-in in terms of textures. It's bad at times, but this is the level I wanted something like Pokémon Arceus to have. It's not too graphically but it doesn't look bad and dated.

Cons

  • No pause
    In single-player as I played, there's no pause when you going into the menu or some parts of the menu.

  • Glitchy
    Sometimes when you were exploring the world you couldd get trapped inside a mountain or rock.


Final score: 7/10
