<\/section>\n

Survival games have been wildly popular for years now. I\u2019ve dabbled here and there to see what the fuss is about, but I\u2019ve always fallen off after a few hours. Usually, I get tangled up in one meagerly explained system after another until I lose track of what I\u2019m supposed to do, and my time with the game peters out.<\/p>\n

When Palworld 1.0 came out to rave reviews<\/a>, I figured I\u2019d give the genre another shot \u2013 and I\u2019m glad I did. Palworld\u2019s gradual, newbie-friendly onboarding helped me see what a whole lot of people have loved about survival games all along. Palworld made me a believer. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/section>\n

I\u2019m glad I came in at the 1.0 mark, because I\u2019ve heard Palworld had a much steeper learning curve out of the gate. But now, new players start with a series of missions designed to guide you through the game\u2019s numerous systems<\/a>. You learn how to punch trees to get wood to create a crafting bench. You learn how to make a club you can use to beat some Pals to death (it\u2019s a dog-eat-dog world out there) to get wool. You then use that wool to make clothes. You set up a camp. You build a house. You activate a teleporter and explore deeper into the game world.<\/p>\n

Before long, you\u2019re gliding off cliffs Zelda-style before whomping on every Pal you see to catch them in spheres to put them to work. You can deploy them at your camp, ride them<\/a>, or have them fight by your side to take on big roaming Pals and towering bosses<\/a>. It\u2019s a blast. And there\u2019s no way I would have stuck with it if it hadn\u2019t held my hand and eased me into the systems that make up the game.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

I still have a long way to go, because I was nowhere near powerful enough to defeat the first boss solo. But those early missions gave me a much-needed handle on what else I can spend my time doing as I level up enough to become a threat. There’s a vast world out there I can keep exploring, all while catching Pals and building up my base. I\u2019m having a blast doing it.<\/p>\n

Palworld\u2019s 1.0 is available on Steam<\/a>, Xbox<\/a>, and PS5<\/a>. It costs $29.99, but you can save a few bucks on a Steam copy at Fanatical<\/a>, which is currently running its summer sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n
