Ok, i 100% the game, its achievements, and wanted to write a review after i was done with the game for its current content.

I pretty much made a five page essay pointing out the pro's and cons of this game, but i backspaced it and i'll just post a concentrated loose mess.

I'll say it off the bat,
This game isn't for everybody. Some people love it, some people refund it after 20 minutes.
I can suggest it, but i can't recommend it like " ZOMG You MUSt PLAy DiS GAME ". So yes and No.
Watch a lets play and judge for yourself.

Elephant in the room,
Yes the PickAxe and Glide Animation is from fortnite, but that's because those animations are the default stock animations from the UnrealEngine, which, go figure, the creators of the UnrealEngine are the creators of fartnite, palworld just didn't bother to change those animations. Yes some of the Pal designs are either loosely inspired or kinda borderline close to some of the pokemon designs, but in all honesty i feel that palworld designs are improved upon, let that sink in. Yes this is "pokemon with guns", but that's midgame to lategame when you are level 25 and above, currently level 55 being max.

The Good,
The world is beautiful. There is no background music except in battles, so you'll be hearing alot of ambiance sounds like wind, flutter of grass, leaves on the tree's, birds chirping, waterfall sounds and water as you approach it. I honestly found this game as a good escapism in the beginning, i was very immersed. Beautiful mountains, beautiful hills, grassy knolls, waterfalls, grotto's, snowy fields, the giant tree that has no lore nor we have access to. We don't talk about the dark spot on the map, that's new jersey, you must never go there.

My top favorite favorite pal is flopie, katress and Nox. I have a lot of favorites in design, but to me those two are the most iconic to me, besides cattiva and Lamball.

If you're going to play this game for story and lore. No. I beat the game and i still don't know what the hell is going on. I don't count reading journals you find as Story, let alone some people don't like reading. There's no cutscenes (except for the boss), there's no voice acting, there's nada, zip.

You arrive at the island and pretty much just ooga booga where da resources and female pals at.

I personally liked the game, it could be heavily improved on by adding story, the cut content such as the flying whale and the Castle in the Sky along (which is a thing in the early trailers), with possible Sky Islands that you can only reach if you get said whale. Those Trailer Whales are dead in-game, you can see their massive bones in some area's, but maybe you can resurrect them in some way in the future. Maybe add more towns with better npc's that give better dialog so it feels lively rather then npc's just standing still or sitting down like they are now, make em give quests, make them give some story, ANIMATE THEM. I also would like to suggest cosmetic slots for the hat, shirt, pants, so we can wear new clothes that hides our armor.

There's a lot of neat mods out there that can either improve your game play experience, or make it more casual so trying to find legendary blueprints isn't a grindfest, mods that make your pals look cuter (variety colors), different color weapons, New Weapon models. Hell there's a mod that restores the old pal throwing method that was recently changed in palworld because of the Lawsuit.
.....We don't talk about Project Sugarcake mod
