Critic Reviews for Palworld
Palworld may crib quite a bit from Pokémon’s homework, but deep survival mechanics and a hilarious attitude make it hard to put down – even in Early Access.
The version of Palworld on Xbox and the Microsoft Store might not be nearly as polished as the Steam version right now, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still a ton of fun.
Palworld is a game of bare minimums, unscrupulous and soulless, designed by the numbers to hit all the right notes to keep you hooked on its addictive catch-grind-craft loop.
Palworld is an entertaining game if you connect with its survival and monster-catching mechanics, and its gameplay loop. But at the same time, it's easy to feel like it's not original, that it doesn't do anything you haven't seen before, and that it crosses some red lines by taking inspiration from certain games.

Although Palworld can provide an enjoyable experience for a while, it's a hard sell .It feels like halves of two different games that, when put together, don't seem to make a whole.
Palworld offers everything you'd expect, and so much more. From incredible boss fights to satisfying community building, there's something for everyone.
Palworld is equal parts charming and dark, with a massive world and no restrictions on exploration. Combat needs some fine-tuning and the survival crafting may not be for everyone, but it's early access release is a solid starting point.
Palworld isn't perfect or complete yet. But its many flaws don't take away from the fun and success it offers. It mixes different game genres, giving players a new experience unlike traditional games. Palworld is likely to be a game remembered in history.
