It's a survival crafting game. It's functional, but yeah, I think overhyped. Most people play for the novelty, and that covers for the boring gameplay.

That's overly reductive. I don't play it like a crafting game, I play it like a pokemon game and I'm having fun catching new pals while barely touching the base building.

You can do the same thing in Ark, that doesn't change what it is lol

Ark is worse than Palworld, even just in terms of polish.

After how many years I still complain about Arks shitty AI for Dino's. They could have made something special but it can't even follow you right sometimes.

In all fairness, the AI in Palworld is abysmal, too, but they at least acknowledge it (it's one of the top items to fix in their roadmap), and it's a just-released early access game, rather than a been-out-for-years title.
