This game is dangerous...
I played it for the first time yesterday with my S/O, and we looked at the clock only to realize we had played for a little over ten hours straight... only stopping for lunch/dinner
It'll wear off. I felt like that for Valheim and then when I reached the end I went "Oh. Alright. Whelp."
I mean, any survival game is like that. Hell, just about any game is like that. Eventually you've done about all you want to do, and then it's time to move on. And that's fine.
I don't know, games like Minecraft, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rust, they all have a lot of staying power. There's always burnout but I don't think that Palworld is going to survive to the "We should go back to that" stage.
I burnt out on Factorio after I had fifty ion cannons in orbit and a few battalions of remote controlled mammoth tanks. It got boring after I had finished everything. And restarting was too daunting.
I'll definitely be back for the big update though. The new trains look incredible.
Personally I do think palworld will survive though. The core loop of capturing pals, leveling, and attribute hunting, is very fun.
