Palia recently launched on Xbox alongside its brand new Elderwood expansion, and I’m hooked. I mean, in a "100 hours in two weeks" level of hooked. I can’t wait until I can stop playing other games to play Palia. And yet somehow, I have not even made it to the end of the game’s prologue yet.
That’s at least due in part to Palia’s MMO design. The game boasts a sprawling world with multiple maps, and the update that brought the free-to-play wholesome life sim to Xbox added on yet another new world full of surprises that built upon the existing story.
