It's a survival crafting game. It's functional, but yeah, I think overhyped. Most people play for the novelty, and that covers for the boring gameplay.

That's overly reductive. I don't play it like a crafting game, I play it like a pokemon game and I'm having fun catching new pals while barely touching the base building.

You can do the same thing in Ark, that doesn't change what it is lol

Ark is worse than Palworld, even just in terms of polish.
