Only started playing this because of a Steam Family, and I recommend it, but only very tentatively.
I've always been wary of "early access" games. More and more developers have been doing that lately and it usually results in a product that is buggy, a product that is never finished, or a finished product that isn't even different from the early access version. With the latter, you have to wonder why even call it early access, and just call it "live service" or something (if there's continuous updates). While I understand its for funding reasons, it's always been a bit of a red flag to me. Palword is set to finally get out of "early access" this year, yet the game doesn't feel like it, and I really worry about their promise of 1.0 having "so many changes."
Palworld fun and addicting, but probably only for the first 15 hours or so. It's one of those games you play non-stop for a week but then never touch again after that. The gameplay is fun, but gets repetitive. The world is visually lackluster, with very sparse architecture, and the architecture that is found usually isn't unique or interesting to look at (a lot of the same-looking huts and stone shambles). The environment is pretty, but so "realistic" that it's boring and looks like every other generic fantasy rpg.
The NPCs are of mobile-game quality, and Palworld does that thing where interesting lore can be read via long pages you find scattered across the map. This can work, but you have to make the visual environment/characters unique/stimulating enough to motivate players to want to read MORE about them. The game does not do that. Pokemon wins on worldbuilding by a landslide. Palworld has made zero cultural impact for a reason.
The Pals are cute, but I don't think they go well with the environment. Their flat, overly cartoonish features (the human characters also have this) against the very detailed, realistic environment...and guns...just doesn't look right, and people made fun of how palworld looked for a good reason. A more stylized environmental art style would have done wonders for this game, but even then it wouldn't have fixed the fact that there's nothing really to do on the map except fight players of pals, and build and collect stuff.
It also gets to a point where you kinda just...auto everything? All the pals have all these attacks/skills but you can't actually control them in combat, so I don't really understand the point of them. Maybe later on a deeper combat system is unlocked. But something like that should be available from the start.
Despite being visually much more similar to Pokemon, I'd say Palworld's mechanics lean a lot more towards the crafting side, and the main gameplay is more similar to Minecraft or Factorio. While I would recommend Palworld to anyone, you'll probably stick with it longer if you're someone who is into base-building/factory games and the type of repetition they have.
Finally, I just don't know if I trust that the devs have truly upgraded Palworld, because they've really given no proof that they have. Once 1.0 comes out I may change my review.

Прошел игру еще когда ее только выпустили, на тот момент прошел на все 100%, победил боссов, разблокировал все что нужно и получил все ачивки, но игра все еще развивается и добавляется куча всего нового! так что я еще вернусь в эту игру!) а так кто любит всяких зверьков и крафт - советую! /// I completed the game when it was just released, at that time I completed it 100%, defeated bosses, unlocked everything I needed and got all the achievements, but the game is still developing and a lot of new stuff is being added! So I will come back to this game!) and so who loves all sorts of animals and crafting - I recommend it!

Early access release in gamepass so I’m giving it a try because it sounds like a funny weird game.
Meh maybe when it’s a full release I’ll try it again. I like the idea of the Pokemon, sorry Pals, but I don’t really like survival games. I find the base building and the exploration kind of work against each other. At least for me. I also just rarely like the base building mechanics in games so this genre isn’t for me.
I also can’t believe how blatant a rip off this game is. The Pokemon likeness is so apparent I honestly am surprised this game is allowed. I wonder if Nintendo or game shark or whoever technically owns the property tries to sue.
I’m not scoring this game because I only played for an hour ish and it’s in early access. It didn’t click for me though.
