“Palworld is now one of only seven games that have seen over 1 million concurrent players on Steam – the others include: PUBG (3.2 mil), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (1.8 mil), Counter-Strike 2 (1.4 mil), Lost Ark (1.3 mil), Dota 2 (1.2 mil), and Cyberpunk 2077 (1 mil).”

    As someone who has not played Palworld but practically swore off mainline Pokémon since Sword and Shield (made an exception for Arceus), I couldn’t agree more with this.

    Now I’ve looked at the Palworld trailer and not only does this look like more than just a Pokémon knock off like Digimon or Yokai Watch, this looks very competently made. Sure the guns might be shock value, but the point is they’re doing more with the concept than the same shit Game freak has been doing since 1996 on the fucking Game Boy. They certainly aren’t relying on that shock value.

    I’m actually tempted to buy Palworld.

      Played it until 2AM with my girlfriend last night, even though we both fully knew we had work in the morning. This morning is not great, but it was so, so worth it. I can’t remember the last time I had that much fun experiencing a game for the first time–maybe Warhammer II on release. I’d definitely recommend, especially for the price.

        Ah damn, if only my gf had a gaming PC. I think she’d like this a lot.
