people are saying palworld is actually good

I think it’s just a game cashing in on people who haven’t played Nintendo games. For these people the gameplay loop is something new.

I have seen a few locations that are just straight up dark souls/elden ring locations, made just different enough to get past laws.

A consideration is it will make game devs argue to be able to patent (I’m not a lawyer parasite idk the right word) game mechanics more harshly. You know capitalists would love to be able to sue the pants off any other game that competes with them in the same genre by saying “your health bar/ sword looks too similar to ours, pay up”
