I just want to say that as somebody who never played Ark, the discourse on this game is infuriating. Game reviews suck now because they're all predicated on other games: "this game is like Blasphemy 2 meets Stardew Valley," well that's great unless you haven't played either Stardew or Blasphemy.
When did we forget that good journalism defines all terms before using them? When did we start accepting this lazy non-commentary?
To me, and anyone else who has never played Ark, all we know is that Palworld apparently isn't Pokemon-like but is some nebulous something else instead. It's so frustrating.
