Palworld, a highly anticipated game developed by Pocketpair, has taken the industry by storm. In just eight hours after its release, Palworld managed to sell over one million copies worldwide.
The overwhelming popularity of Palworld can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the game offers a unique and immersive experience that captivates players from the moment they start playing. With stunning graphics and an intricate storyline, Palworld transports gamers into a world filled with adventure and excitement.
Pokémon creatures and use them to complete various tasks, whether it's to fly you to a new location, defend your base, or even water your crops. And it seems like developers are essentially playing into this bit where adorable Pokémon-like creatures are being blatantly abused and exploited.
Palworld isn't embarrassed or bashful. It certainly isn't cheerful. You can elect to worsen a Pal's workload from "normal" to higher settings called "cruel" and "brutal" as they're forced to craft and farm on your behalf, eventually allowing you to automate many in-game processes using, quite literally, their blood, sweat, and tears. From this, the Pals can get sick with stress ulcers. They can suffer from depression. They can, according to an in-game measurement, actually lose their minds.
Palworld even lets you use one of them as a living (and notably crying) bullet shield. Another Pal is shaped like a noose and named Hangyu, with a backstory that includes actual human torture. It's over-the-top, arguably grotesque. But damn is it honest.
Similarly, on Twitch it is now the most viewed game on the service at the moment with 312,000 live viewers, beating out GTA 5, CS2, League of Legends and Fortnite. One reason for its high playercount is likely that it’s only $26 on Steam, barely more than a third of the price of most AAA releases. And it helps that the game is…actually good. It’s easy to imagine how the concept of “Pokémon with Guns” could be an easy shovelware cash-in, but they’ve taken the time to ensure this is a lot of fun, hence the 2,400 user reviews so far that are “Very Positive” on Steam. And Xbox picked up the scent of this early, hence its inclusion in Game Pass.
