Are you enjoying Palworld? (lemmynsfw.com)

Sorry if this is redundant, I didn't see another thread focused on reactions to the game itself (just the Pokemon-ripoff news cycle).

I tried it on GamePass thinking, why not - might as well see how overhyped it is. And unexpectedly, I put in about 8 hours this weekend.

Despite some rough edges and some very clear inspiration, I am actually enjoying it. It has a very satisfying gameplay feedback loop and is an overdue (if involuntary) "modernization" of the basic monster-collector format.

Not a Pokémon fan, so the trailer just looked like an asset flip game to me.

It literally doesn't but you like to say it because your favorite youtuber thinks so.

And who would that be?

Tristan Newcomb? I get all my gaming news from him. His Donkey Kong Country review is great.

You're going to need a better eye for asset flips. It's too easy to dilute the meaning of the term if you're going to start including the likes of Palworld.
