    That solves one of the matters (Linux). What about the other? Is its singleplayer fun?

      Single player is fun if you like to play survival crafting games alone. “Pokémon with guns” is not actually a very good description. It’s a monster capturing game, and the creatures are cartoony like Pokémon, but it’s a third person survival crafting game. No turn based elements or choosing monster move sets or anything like that.

      It’s more like Ark with Pokémon instead of dinosaurs

        Palworld is better with friends because I have good friends but the game doesn’t get twice as hard and frustrating when you’re alone. I enjoy games that encourage coordination and teamwork , but I think that kind of gameplay would be out of place in such a whimsical world.

      Honestly I would describe it as Ark-lite. It has base building/taming and that’s pretty fun, and you can also get random encounters at your base. The leveling system is a bit grindy. There are dungeons and bosses in the world to go find and explore. The map is huge, I think I’ve hardly explored a tenth of it.

      Been playing about 15 hours or so and enjoyed it, but the game is definitely early access. I’ve had a number of crashes, fell through the world a few times, etc. I’d give it a month or two if that bothers you.

        Is singleplayer more compelling than Ark or Conan Exiles? Games like Valheim or Project Zomboid can completely take over my life but Ark/CE was always just kind of an aimless boring grind.

          There’s a tutorial that leads towards the first dungeon boss of the game, but after that it looks like you make your own challenges. There’s a few bosses around my level that I’ll be taking on next, then I’m probably going to explore to see if I can find more dungeons.

      That’s completely subjective. Although if you find survival in general fun, you’ll probably feel right at home

        I’m aware that fun value is subjective, but that was the way that I found to ask succinctly if it’s possible to have fun even if you focus solely on singleplayer. (I’m not a big fan of MP).

        A shame that the game didn’t want to run at any acceptable speed in my machine. Otherwise I’d be almost for sure playing it, @pikasaurX4@lemm.ee even mentioned that it’s Ark-like (I’d love Ark if not for the grinding, so…)
