Early Access Review
Let me still criticize Palworld after 30+ hours and say that this is an mediocre game in all aspects, even despite the Early Access tag. Largely because the developers say that: The core systems of the Palworld experience, such as monster catching, battles, exploration, building and crafting, are already complete.

My experience is based on solo play on Hard difficulty settings without any changes

Firstly, this is still a rather unbalanced grind, where the requirements for each new level grow exponentially and already at 40+ level you need to grind a lot in the game seriously enough to get a level to unlock new technologies.

Secondly, the combat on the part of the player is quite dull, essentially clicking left button for poking with a spear or shooting until the ammo run out (and there is a very limited number of them in the game and with each level you need to grind more ammo for more better guns), if you want some interesting abilities - they all from Pals, but only one active at the moment (with some small exception) and cooldowns for their abilities like 15-20 seconds, it just cast his ability and stands without any auto-attacks.

Thirdly, the catching rate here also grows at an incredible exponential rate, and almost immediately the basic spheras become garbage, catching 35-40 lvl Pals become hard even with Ultra Spheras. And yes, they are rather expensive to craft too.

Fourthly, the exploration is still dull, there is a lot of empty, boring map, the initial island is still quite rich, all the rest space is huge and empty. Almost all the bosses except the first one are hidden on the tops of the mountains; all these mountains are just as empty and dull. Flying on a Pal almost instantly eats up all the stamina, so you fly for 15-20 seconds, rest, and then move on. Process of flying to the tops of mountains really sucked.

Fifthly, building and crafting. Unfortunately, the game does not have normal management of Pals work to force them to do certain things and not do others, with each teleport to the base, a new respawn of Pals occurs and they can end up behind a wall, fall off a cliff, end up on the roof, and at the same time they begin starving and doing nothing. You constantly have to respawn them. But this does not prevent them from getting stuck in structures and breaking their behavior in any other situations simply because, especially if they are Large Pals, that have issues with all structures on you base. Oh, and raids really annoying.

In short, the game as a survaval, builder and automator is still not good enough, winning only because of cute local Pokemons. I think that the core gameplay still needs some improvements in future for more smooth game

Sean Murray, thx you a lot.

You taught me not to trust screenshots, videos and promises of developers before release of the game.
You taught me not to buy something on prerelease to get some reward (especially that breaks the game)
You taught me not to play game more than 2 hours to see, what else developers didn't include in the game.
You taught me if game has a lot of bugs, crashes, FPS drops, bad optimization, localization - this is good reason to refund it, but not wait for fixes.

You taught me never trust you and Hello games.
I paid the price for this knowledge in full.

Я играю в ФМ, начиная с Football manager 2012, но за 4 года не встречал более откровенного шлака. После того, как EA объявили о прекращении разработки игры Fifa Manager, Sports Interactive решили откровенно забить на улучшение игры, и выпустили вот это. Лучше б они ничего не трогали.

Дизайн игры откровенно напрягает. Он неудобен по сравнению с той же ФМ 2014, левый бар совсем не в тему. Добавим к этому откровенно неудобный поиск игроков по параметрам, убогий интерфейс выбора тактики и т.д.

Перейдем к самому матчу. Казалось бы, графика стала приятнее, но какой же убогий стал геймплей, куча странных, неотносящихся к реалистичности моментов. Поломанные три игрока в первом же товарищеском матче, два автогола. Почитайте другие комментарии людей и вы найдете откровенное негодование по поводу физики игры.

Можно закрыть глаза на некоторые баги, их можно решить. Но игру уже точно заново не перелопатят.

Я очень расстроен. Я ждал эту игру, получил в подарок от друга предзаказ, а сейчас понимаю, что лучше я найду новые составы и буду играть в ФМ 2014, чем в это. Не покупайте эту игру.

Although, I bought two versions of Talisman (Prologue and Digital Edition), I started with this. Yes, I got a good experience, playing and learning different characters, their advantages. This helps me to know the game, its rules. But after some games, this solo adventure starts to bother me. Quests quite frankly aren't interesting. Often you need to get to some place or monster, and you roll dice one by one until you get exactly you need (Sometimes I spent more than 20-25 turns just only to be on the same space as my quest's task). I don't persuade to buy Talisman, but don't waste money, buy original Talisman: Digital Edition, where you get better experience, fun and enjoyment playing with friends or bots. There you will not only roll dices, but also think about your next steps.
