Conan Exiles is great. To me, Palworld is a Conan Exiles that saw mainstream success, and I'm happy with that because I mostly just loved the gameplay, as I'm relatively unfamiliar with the Conan Universe. But anybody that wants more of Palworld might enjoy Conan Exiles. It's a 2018 game, so it's still extremely playable.
It's funny to me that people compare Palworld to so many things when having played Conan Exiles, it's not comparable, it just is the same game in everything but aesthetics.
Eh, it depends, definitely has legallynot Pokémon, definitely has legallynot elite 4, and has plenty of things that would make sense in Pokemon (using them to help build and farm and etc). Just also has base building and guns.
If you play it co-op, it’s just basically co-op Pokemon with base building where you can also attack. (Especially if you’ve turned off raids in your dedicated server because I’ve heard of terrible memory leaks being an issue and I dunno if that’d been fixed but from what I’ve seen it hasn’t.)
If you play it in a public server, it’s very rust like.
