Pocketpair's Palworld is already one of the most successful games of 2024, as it combines elements of the satisfying creature-collecting of the Pokemon series with the exploration of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the rather demanding survival mechanics of games like ARK: Survival Evolved and Rust. Those who have experienced or even witnessed Palworld firsthand have noted its clear inspirations, from Pokemon to Breath of the Wild, but even being inspired by some of the biggest franchises in gaming history, it still tends to fall short in some areas.
