Palworld’s longevity gets players discussing the future
Whether or not each new game is a flash in the pan or something real and here to stay is always up for debate. It’s a conversation plaguing Palworld, Helldivers 2, Skull and Bones, and so many others. Lots of critics will claim that the game will die off soon, and its most fervent players disagree. That’s the subject of today’s debate within the Palworld community.
Palworld’s longevity was posed in a Reddit post by u/Express-Cream5123, who asked what the players themselves think will happen down the line. The developers have stated that they have long-term plans and ideas already.
u/DancingIBear brought up that it’s a great game for fans of different existing games, “If you like ARK it’s a good fit. If you like Pokémon it’s a good fit. If you like Conan Exiles it’s a good fit. And if you like all of those games it’s a perfect fit!” It has been called a Pokémon rip-off as well as an ARK clone. Truthfully, the community believes it’s the best of both worlds. u/WorryLegitimate259 added, “This is what every Pokemon fan has wanted our whole f****g lives dude.”
u/smokeseshmusic put it into their own experience, “This game turned me from a ‘this looks okay, I guess I’ll try it’ to a ‘yoooo I gotta get on Palworld and plan my next moves’ type of person. It definitely surprised me. It’s early access but I truly hope they work out some kinks and nuances, as well as add more to the game.” They are anticipating it to have long-term power for sure.
u/Gridlay summed up how a lot of the community is feeling now, “Played 180 hours, and I am not finished. I hope it will get cool updates, but I got my money worth already.” Whether this game stays active and relevant for years doesn’t matter to them because they have experienced something special already.
