Palworld (as a survival game...) (store.steampowered.com)

Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.

Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?

If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?

My view is in the comments...

Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...

I'm only about 5 hours in, and being an avid Soulslike player, I felt the first tower boss was very easy. Like playing an easy Souls boss with help from a Pal.

I've only seen one dungeon so far, and it was a bit too easy. I assume it's just because it's early in the game.

I guess I need to get further into the game to start seeing actual threats. I'm used to playing Ark and getting chased by half the wildlife at all times.

Ah, OK. Fair enough. You're probably a more skillful bosser than I am. Not sure if a harder difficulty would have helped you.

Maybe, like I said I'm still early in the game, so I don't know what it's like further in. I know I'm used to dodging mechanics in general, and the boss I fought didn't attack quickly or frequently.

I will say that bows seem overpowered, since they do pretty high damage, and most enemies seem to move slowly which makes headshots easy. I imagine with guns being a thing, enemies will have to be harder later on, otherwise the game will be a breeze.

It gets harder for sure. Not hard as Elden Ring or anything, but definitely harder than what you’re seeing now.
