I was thinking about buying this game on a sale.

Can anybody tell me how it compares to its first release? The game peaked at 2 million consecutive players, that’s a lot!

I last played it a couple of months ago. It’s significantly more fleshed out than the initial release, which seemed pretty empty and boring by comparison. Crafting isn’t really my thing but they make it relatively easy and not as annoying as many other games. Overall it’s worth checking out. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would

It got better in most aspects, but still feels…I dunno…bland? The pals are awesome and the base with them. And the catching and all. But every aspect of the survival-game itself is…bland. Though there are tons of mods to make up for its flaws.

If you love the pals, it sure is worth it for a lot of hours. If you love the base building/survival more, then there are better games.

Automation? Factorio/satisfactory… Survival? Sons of the forest, enshrouded Base-building: enshrouded, Conan exiles

All combined? Enshrouded! Abiotic factory.

    I would absolutely love if they did add it though, doubt it since 1.0 came out though.

A big factor with Palworld is building up your automation with good base design and Pal management. You assign them to build, sew seeds, water, harvest, transport, mine, chop trees, manufacure items, power generators, etc. As you progress, the systems you maintain get more complicated but provide better services/items/convenience. Exploring is a lot of fun, with Pals you can ride, traversal mechanics like the hookshot, and gliding. Plus all the usual open world mechanics like enemy bases to clear, warp points to unlock, powerful world bosses hanging around, dungeons, and resources to seek out. I’ve sunk probably 200 hours in it with friends.
