The Internet is quick to tell anyone that Palworld is "Pokémon with guns," but after over 28 hours of playing it on PC (via Steam), I can say that it's so much more than that. It's an open-world multiplayer survival game with crafting and the ability to capture animals. But does it combine all of these elements effectively?
I'll easily argue that Palworld is already the best creature-collecting multiplayer adventure out there, designed for people who grew up with Pokémon but want something more involved to play with friends as an adult. However, it does need a bit of polish before its full launch.
