I was born in late 1995 and the first Pokémon game came out in early 1996. It's a series I love and have spent my whole life playing. I can almost define eras of my youth by the Pokémon game of the time, which is why it hurts me so much to admit that right now it's not the best game in the monster-catching genre. That feels like an almost illegal thing to say, but it's true. Welcome Palworld to the throne.
Since its early access release on Game Pass and Steam on the 19th of January I've spent more hours than I care to divulge palling around in the Palapagos Islands catching critters. The game features over 100 different 'Pals' but that's not all all Palworld has to offer.
