Day 1: Found myself dumped in the middle of the desert in UC territory. No clothes, no money, no weapon, and lost my left arm. No point in complaining about it, but I need to find a good opportunity to get ahead.

Day 2: While dodging the slavers and wildlife, I came across a group of farmers that had crossed paths with a group of desert skimmers. I waited till the beasts were gone, then ran in and stole the farmers clothes. At least I look presentable now.

Day 3: Those farmers might be poor with low quality clothing, but it is enough in the eyes of UC to not be arrested for vagrancy. There is some copper just outside the wall. I can collect some of that to make a few coins. It isn't long before I have enough cats(money) to hire a fellow drifter so I am no longer alone.

Day 4: A caravan of hivers just came into town. These guys are strong, and loaded with goods. Hivers are also known for crafting artificial limbs, and they happen to have a decent quality left arm that I can buy. I figure, why not follow them and see what happens? Any wildlife we run into gets decimated quickly, and I pick off the parts to sell to the caravan, so this is pure profit for me. I just need to keep my head down when the blades start swinging as I am no match for these beasts.

Day 5: Not sure how it happened exactly, but the caravan ran afoul of the samurai and were put down, taking out the entire group. Well, there goes my hat. Only one reasonable thing left to do now...

Grab some backpacks, loot the entire caravan, and bring the hivers to the police station. An easy 50000 cats in the pocket.

I doubt this caravan will ever recover as all the pack beasts are dead and most of their inventory gone. Might as well buy a house in town and start researching for the future.

Fun and mindless idler.
Also annoyingly addicting for the 5-7 hours it takes to 100%

All the haters here are comparing the episodic methods of timelines to the sandbox style of the main game. They should judge timelines for what it is.

That being said,

For the new player to X, this is a good way to help learn the different things that you can do ingame with no risk or investment required. For older players, you get to enjoy ships not available in the main game, and living out some of the defining moments in the lore.

Completing timelines will unlock more opportunities in the main universe, so you can hardly call it a waste of time.

Let us look at Pokemon for a moment. What does Pokemon have going for it?

Battling. That is all. Pokemon are nothing more than weapons. You only really care about a Pokemon if it is strong. Pokemon have no use at all outside of battle. True, there is a friendship mechanic, but it has no real benefit aside from being a distraction. PvP in Pokemon is degenerate. All that matters is strength. It doesn't matter if a Pokemon is popular. How many of you actually keep pikachu with you all the way to the elite four, besides in let's go and yellow where you're basically forced to. Any Pokemon you catch only for collecting rots in the box forever.

Palworld on the other hand, is everything Pokemon is not.

Every pal has a use aside from rotting forever. Every pal can be made strong. Each pal has something they can do unique to them. You can also put your pals to work, giving them a life outside of endless battles. All the pals work with you, instead of for you. You, the player, can have a direct impact on the battle instead of watching your monsters battle it out one turn at a time. Likewise, you are just as much a target for attacks as your pals.

Palworld also doesn't care about morality. You can be a very nice person treating every pal with love and making sure they have good food and shelter, or you can work them to death, sacrifice them for resources, use them as a shield for battles. There are even darker paths than these, should you choose to explore them.

Most importantly though:

PALWORLD IS ACTUALLY FUN

I can't say the same thing for Pokemon. In all honestly, Pokemon can be considered shovelware at this point.

Simple, but fun, where you don't have to think too hard on this or that. Took me two full days to 100% the achievements, and I still have the option to try again with new rules.

Mindless fun for when you don't want to think too hard about playing a game. All you need to do is pick your cards and watch the carnage, making this almost an idle game.

Better than unbound IMHO

While not perfect and still feels very early access, this has quite a bit of promise in the freedom allowed by the player.

Personally, I am enjoying taking a 'coffin' (A ship that is little more than a storage crate with engines) and turning it into a massive cargo hauler.

The AI is a bit garbage, and currently limited to one region, but looking forward to how this develops.

While it is a decent enough factory-type game, there are no real goals here aside from a singular end goal. After a tutorial.... which took me over two hours... you are let loose to do whatever you feel like and gameplay for me became rather dull and complicated.

Claim a planet, see what it has.
Has what you need, start extracting.
If it doesn't, move to the next world.
Before too long, you have over a dozen planets, and each and every one of them wants something different. Some are simple, but many are not.

One plus side is you can build anything you like, or use the prebuilt ships if you don't want to bother with making your own.

This was a bit surprising. Good if you want a game you can play in a short amount of time multiple times, and as difficult as you want it to be, or set it up as a no end sandbox and fill the entire map.
