“I can’t even see the haters because I play in full-screen lmao,” the top comment read, as another stated: “Fortnite was early access for years while being the most played and profitable game. It’s just people mad to mad, with zero understanding for why they believe what they do.”

Others revealed how they found Palworld after playing Ark, stating that “every single game session we had together ended with me dead and too far away from literally all my stuff and it was the least fun I’ve had in a long time, this game I’ve actually made a house, caught some pals and enjoyed myself.”

Some addressed the comparisons to Craftopia: “The fact is that even after spending 170+ hours on Craftopia the game feels really chunky and cheap. I bought the game a week after the release, played for 15/20 hours and then literally abandoned it.”

“If Pokemon company does not see this as a wake-up call to create a game like Ark and Pokemon, but official Pokemon and make it cross-platform, they would make so much damn money,” as more addressed the famous pocket monster comparisons.

As various players alluded to, the game has launched as an Early Access game, therefore developers have stressed that it is not yet “complete.” With Palworld’s remarkable rise straight out of the blocks, it will be certainly interesting to see how the game evolves and in which direction it goes over time.
