Palworld, an ARK-like game described as Pokemon with guns, has seen concurrent player numbers swell into record-breaking territory this week. But according to execs behind the game the team is not celebrating, choosing rather to spend the time preparing for an attack from their most feared enemy: Hbomberguy.

    Something just puts me off about it, I usually love indie monster collecting games, but I just get off vibes from this one.

    I think maybe I played too much Ark to enjoy the survival angle, or the humour reminds me too much of the part of the 90s I’d like to forget

      I’m just not into the type of content that game provides I think. I have been vibing and playing something called INFRA. You play a civil engineer who goes around taking pictures of safety violations while fixing things like water treatment plants along the way. Its done in the source engine so feels super comfy to play for me as its mostly urban exploration based.
