Is Palworld legitimately good, or is it just your regular shitty survival crafting with a Pokestrag aesthetic?

If you like having slaves, base building and 3rd person combat then youd probably like it.

Yea it has standard survival stuff, but like 3 hours in i got the right slaves to do all the non fun stuff for me. Now its just 3rd person combat pokemon.

Its fun for now, im probably under 20 hours but if you zone out and like mon games than youll have fun.

But yea you still use stone cowtools, to get iron but at least you need like a fire mon to smelt it. So they have at least made the craft stuff fresher.
