it's yet another open world survival craftathon with fortnite building and a gimick. If you like the gimmick, then good for you, don't let me tell you not to like the thing you like.

I've seen a number of these games come and go. Ark survival, raft, conan exiles, rust, and more that I've forgotten the names of. Obviously there's a demand for a game like this, but none of them stand above the rest. If you ignore the aesthetic, then they're all the same. Play one and you've played them all, and to me that's boring.

I've played Ark, and I think the places where Palworld is most similar to it are where it's weakest.
