I'm really enjoying the game so far. I was skeptical when I heard about it and how many different features it combined from different genres of games, but I think they've meshed them all together very well. It lets players choose what they want to focus on. Base building, automation, catching all the Pals, dungeon raids, bosses, exploration, etc.

The game is not yet perfect, but it's still in beta so that's okay!
I really like base building, automating, and exploration, so for me some of the following could be improved:
* Pal AI - Pals at the base are quite silly. They can get stuck outside base walls, accidentally starve themselves, clip through walls, not do their work, and their path finding isn't great.
* Automation - It would be great to have better automation abilities, especially around making good food so that you can leave your pals out and they won't get depressed from SANless food
* Building - building snapping could use some work, but once you figure out a few tricks you can mostly do what you want. Building is still super fun though!
* Guilds & Palbox pal mgmt - the way guilds work without mods is not preferred. You can only have a few bases, so it makes you want to not have a large guild, because it's way more fun for everyone to have their own bases imo. There is a mod to add way more bases, which is great, but then there is some friction with Palboxes and pal management. Pals can be put out and accidentally put back into the wrong user's palbox. It would be great if pals went back to the palbox of the user who caught the pal. Or maybe have some kind of shared palbox that the pal goes back into so that it can be access by the original user. It's a tricky problem to solve. I don't want full sharing of pals between guild members, but some siloed sharing would be great.

Running a server for friends is extremely fun, and there are some great mods out there if you want to customize your gameplay even more than the default server already allows.

A lot of my gameplay time is actually time spent managing my server, testing mods, and working on other tools for Palworld, so I'm not very high level in the actual game yet (32), so I'm super interested to see where the end game goes and what storyline/features may be added in the future!

Super fun building and sim game.
