Every so often, an absolutely bananas video game comes along that causes everyone to stand in wondrous awe, and Palworld is the latest example.
Developed by Japanese studio Pocket Pair, Palworld is a bizarro monster-collecting game similar to Pokémon — only there are guns. Not to be confused with the unofficial Pokémon FPS, either. Palworld is an open-world crafting survival game where to catch cutesy monsters, store them in Poké Ball-like spheres, and occasionally mow-down enemies with machine guns. Yes, really.
