"c/palworld" will only work for people who are in lemmy.world. It's better to link the community as !palworld@lemmy.world, now everyone accesses it.

I'm apparently the second subscriber. I've been curious about this game; people describe it as "Pokémon with guns", but what interests me is "Pokémon minus The Pokémon Company and GameFreak". If they release a Linux version and are able to deliver a good singleplayer experience (I bloody hate multiplayer) I'm sold.
- Try cassette beasts. Definitely scratches that itch. A great indie game.
  
  Cassette Beasts is way better than it has any right to be.
  
  Also shoutout to Monster Sanctuary. It's quite different but still a great monster taming game.
  
  I'm checking it now, seems interesting. And Monster Sanctuary, mentioned by @simple@lemm.ee
  Thank you both!
- Currently playing it on my Steam Deck. Proton handles it pretty well, performance is alright if you lock it to 30, and the controls all work, even with correct button prompts
  
  That solves one of the matters (Linux). What about the other? Is its singleplayer fun?
- You can get Coromon to work on Linux. I play pretty much every creature collector game that gets released and Coromon is by far the most "a better version of Pokémon" I know.
  
  People compare Palworld with Pokémon for superficial reasons, it really isn't a Pokémon-like game.
  
  Honestly it feels like the pepole praising it for "Doing what gamefreak won't!"
  
  Either haven't played Palworld or haven't played Pokemon
  
  Reading more about Palworld made me even more interested on it, to be honest. Survival? Base-building? Automation? Fuck, I want this.
  
  (I'll still check Coromon though. Thanks for the rec!)
- And depending on your client, that opens up your Mail client if you have yet to interact with the community. The best thing the creator of the community and this post can do is post within their community so people can go to their profile and find the community that way.
- It's really not "Pokemon, but not held back by GameFreak", it's more like "ARK, but it looks colorful, plays like BOTW, and has a Pokemon inspired creature catching gimmick"
  
  If you're looking for an edgier, more creative version of Scarlet/Violet, keep looking.
  
  If you're looking for "Minecraft Pixelmon, but for Adults"
  
  This is for you
  
  The game doesn't really want to run in my potato (it has 16GB RAM, and I tried to run it through WINE so...)
  
  That's a shame because "Minecraft Pixelmon for adults" does sound nice for me. I also liked Ark quite a bit.
So did they deliver on the promise of press ganging my Pokemon to work in a guns factory? Because if they did I'll go buy it right now.
- You can't have a ton of Pals on your base until you level your base up, but in theory, yes, you can create a gun factory if you work for it.
- Plus, there's poaching endangered creatures.
- And you can make those chumps work slave hours and literally meat cleave them if they displease you. Theoretically you can be an ethical trainer instead i guess, I wouldn't know
Is it this one? !palworld@lemmy.world
