Palworld
Palworld is an open-world monster-taming survival game, somewhat similar to the Pokemon series with base-building and crafting elements. Players explore a world filled with animal-like creatures known as Pals, which can be killed, captured, used to fight other Pals, and assigned to work at the player’s base. Aside from exploring the world and capturing Pals, players will also build bases with numerous crafting stations, and build their own weapons and armor as they gain higher levels on the technology tiers. The game can be played either single-player, with the possibility of friends joining in, or through the use of online servers.
The game begins with the player character washing up on the beach of the Palpagos Islands, and discovering a damaged tablet which asks the player character to find the Towers and the World Tree. By talking with characters scattered about the islands, the player character learns that the Tower faction leaders must be defeated to collect their Key Sphere, in order to reach the World Tree and defeat the coming threat to the Palpagos Islands.
Palworld received mainly positive reviews from critics, with an average score of 73%, praised for its combat, engaging gameplay, fresh environments, and overall fun. It was criticized by some for its unoriginal designs of Pals, which led to a lawsuit by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company for infringement of patent rights.
The game is quite average in terms of difficulty. Fighting bosses, which is arguable the hardest part of the game, becomes easier as you level up both your character and pals, while unlocking new technological weapons to help you. The main reason for this 2-star difficulty rating is for the time required, as you will need a lot of time exploring, leveling up your character, finding and breeding pals, and creating your bases.
Expect around 80 hours of gameplay to unlock the platinum – and that is if you rush through everything. If you are taking your time on your base builds, micro-managing everything, and exploring the world around you, the gameplay hours can certainly add up.
At the start of the game, you can select to either play solo, or join an online server. If you are going for the platinum trophy, it is highly recommended that you select solo for two reasons: One is that Solo allows you to adjust sliders to make the game easier, such as enabling more Pals to work at your base, quicker work completion, etc. The other reason is that, the online servers tend to reset whenever a major update to the game is released, meaning you will need to start over from scratch.
The first thing you will want to do is find a place to set up your first base, and begin capturing some Pals. For your first base, it is a good idea to build somewhere nearby trees and stone, which you can use as resources. As you increase in level, you will be able to unlock stronger weapons and armor, as well as increase your stats such as Health, Attack, and Stamina.
Once you reach around Level 10, you will be ready for your first Tower Boss, which is Zoe & Grizzbolt. Be sure to take a Ground Pal with you, as they are the strongest against Gizzbolt’s lightening attacks.
After defeating your first Tower Boss, you should by now understand the general mechanics of the game, and what you need to do from here on out. There are five more Tower Bosses to defeat, each one at around 10 levels higher than the previous one. Spend your time leveling up your character, leveling up your Pals, and building more advanced armor and weaponry, before going after the next Tower Boss.
There are a few miscellaneous trophies which you can unlock during this process, including capturing a human for the Inhuman Act trophy, finding 50 Lifmunk Effigies (glowing statues which increase your stats) for the Palpagos Guru trophy, and obtaining 40 notes for the Trial Of The Castaway trophy.
As you progress through the game, you will be able to build more bases. It is up to you where you wish to build, either near your previous bases or scattered around the world. By then, you should be able to unlock resource centers which can be harvested and mined within your base, so building near resources will no longer be necessary. The only exception will be collecting oil, which will be needed when you reach the higher levels.
Once you have defeated the Tower Bosses, your next challenge will be to summon and defeat a Bellanoir for the Twilight Siren trophy, a Bellanoir Libero for the Eclipsed Siren trophy, and a Blazamut Ryu for the Incarnation Of The Eternal Flame trophy. You will also need to defeat six of the eight Tower Bosses again, but on Hard Mode, for the Champion Of The Palpagos Islands trophy.
