Right!? Palworld is just the game players have been begging for for a decade.

I wouldn't go that far.

I can see why people who were into Ark, Valheim, Fortnite, Minecraft; however, it's just like any other survival builder game. It just has Pokemon in it. I don't see the hype.

It just has Pokemon in it.

That's the point!

I knew nothing about Palworld besides the tag line 'It's Pokémon with guns' and saw it was included with gamepass. I installed it and to my absolute horror in the first 5 minutes of the game it had me craft a stone pickaxe. Palworld is Ark with cuter dinosaurs, I don't get the Pokémon comparison beyond you use balls to hold the monsters.

You can also use those same balls to capture people. And eat them.

If I gave you some of my balls, could you eat my balls?
