Comment on c/Palworld, a community for the new monster-raming game

“c/palworld” will only work for people who are in lemmy.world. It’s better to link the community as !palworld@lemmy.world, now everyone accesses it.

I’m apparently the second subscriber. I’ve been curious about this game; people describe it as “Pokémon with guns”, but what interests me is “Pokémon minus The Pokémon Company and GameFreak”. If they release a Linux version and are able to deliver a good singleplayer experience (I bloody hate multiplayer) I’m sold.

Try cassette beasts. Definitely scratches that itch. A great indie game.

  Cassette Beasts is way better than it has any right to be.

  Also shoutout to Monster Sanctuary. It’s quite different but still a great monster taming game.

Currently playing it on my Steam Deck. Proton handles it pretty well, performance is alright if you lock it to 30, and the controls all work, even with correct button prompts

  That solves one of the matters (Linux). What about the other? Is its singleplayer fun?

    Single player is fun if you like to play survival crafting games alone. “Pokémon with guns” is not actually a very good description. It’s a monster capturing game, and the creatures are cartoony like Pokémon, but it’s a third person survival crafting game. No turn based elements or choosing monster move sets or anything like that.
    
    It’s more like Ark with Pokémon instead of dinosaurs

    Yeah, it’s Ark but infinitely less grindy and with Pokemon

    That’s completely subjective. Although if you find survival in general fun, you’ll probably feel right at home

    I’m aware that fun value is subjective, but that was the way that I found to ask succinctly if it’s possible to have fun even if you focus solely on singleplayer. (I’m not a big fan of MP).
    
    A shame that the game didn’t want to run at any acceptable speed in my machine. Otherwise I’d be almost for sure playing it, @pikasaurX4@lemm.ee even mentioned that it’s Ark-like (I’d love Ark if not for the grinding, so…)

    Honestly I would describe it as Ark-lite. It has base building/taming and that’s pretty fun, and you can also get random encounters at your base. The leveling system is a bit grindy. There are dungeons and bosses in the world to go find and explore. The map is huge, I think I’ve hardly explored a tenth of it.
    
    Been playing about 15 hours or so and enjoyed it, but the game is definitely early access. I’ve had a number of crashes, fell through the world a few times, etc. I’d give it a month or two if that bothers you.

    Is singleplayer more compelling than Ark or Conan Exiles? Games like Valheim or Project Zomboid can completely take over my life but Ark/CE was always just kind of an aimless boring grind.
