Is the mania with this game really just that people are hungry for anything pokemon-like?

I tried the game the other day and played it for 4 hours. I knew nothing coming into it besides “pokemon with guns” and I just found it to be awful

From what I've seen, a better description of Palworld is "Rust/Ark with Pokemon".

Describing it as "Pokemon with guns" overlooks the entire open world/survival/crafting part of the game.

I don't know anything about pokemon and I've been enjoying it.

Do you like crafting / exploration games?
