Make no mistake, this is an early release survival/crafting budget game. The engine itself is fairly limited and feels more like a free mmo from 10 years ago than an Ubisoft game. It’s fun, though. It has all that stuff which is advertised, and I’ve been having fun with it. It’s a Skyrim kind of enjoyment, vast and shallow, but the vastness has its own appeal.
Unfortunately this seems like the kind of game which is going to be completely ruined in about a year. It is clearly set up to farm microtransactions in the future. Right now in the goodwill period the game functions like an actual game. Some people may want them to “finish” the game before they get it, but that’s not the kind of game this is. The full release is now. In a year the game will be an unplayable skinner box.
That pal in the thumbnail looks like someone on the Palworld team took a fan edit of an Egyptian themed lucario and specifically designed that pal to look just like it.
Can confirm, ran fine on my desktop machine without needing to tinker (caveat: I changed the “compatibility layer” to use proton-ge before attempting to launch it of my own initiative).
I would assume their point was that a lot of games seem to be driven by self propelling hype
I’m not saying it’s not necessarily a bad game, I just think that he means everyone will have forgotten about it by then and everyone will jump on the next hype train
I guess there’s nothing really being added to the conversation but I do see it in my friend groups where people hype up a game, buy it for a week then it’s never mentioned again, the last one being lethal company
You nailed it. To the other commenters, my point is not that there wont be people playing it at all in a month. More that in a short amount of time the perceived “greatness” of this game will no longer be the consensus. Games that get this kind of hype excel on that hype alone, most times it’s fueled by streamers who are filling a gap while they wait for a more anticipated game to launch. Once players get a couple weeks in the honeymoon phase subsides and we are left with another early access title that was never really that great in the first place. It has been out 2 days. I’ll be happy to come back and say I was wrong. Time will tell. I’ll go back the patientgamers now.
I realize this is the linux gaming sub, but it’s worth mentioning that this is on Gamepass too (I still use Gamepass on Xbox even though I don’t game on Windows anymore).
Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn’t play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That’s just off the top of my head.
From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.
i find that i have this sort of issue often with pirated games, sometimes they don’t automatically install those like Steam does, but its the same fix as Windows.
you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.
@helenslunch@umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.
Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.
On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw

I read in steam reviews that the Dev is actually suspected to use genAi on Pokémon images to create their pal designs
Would not surprise me either way.
I would say almost all of them fall under the ‘legally distinct but totally is’ category.
The server I set up for my friends is named “Portable Creatures: Exhalation of the Wilderness” for a reason.

Looks like another game that will be dead in a month.
Fortunately, since it’s playable offline, it doesn’t seem to matter how many people will be playing in a month.
What’s even the point in these kinds of comments? The game doesn’t rely on the player community being large so why even bring it up?

Really wish I could run the Windows Xbox app on Linux
I kinda do too. It’s nice having the option to play Gamepass games on PC or console. Some games are just more comfy on one than the other.
Xbox cloud seems like a decent alternative when games simply don’t run easily on Linux
Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.
That said, it DOES work well if you’re into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.
I didn’t realize that. That’s dumb.
Yeah I was pretty disappointed when I realized that. Oh well.
are there any games not running easily in linux these days?
i mean apart from games with anticheat blocking it.
Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn’t play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That’s just off the top of my head.

oh, most games need visual C runtimes nowadays.

I don’t know what any of that means but it’s not something I ever had to do with Windows.

Yes I understand all of that. My point is, once again, this is additional configuration I never had to figure out with Windows.
i never had to do this for original games on any os.
windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.
I didn’t pirate anything
This is like a merge of Satisfactory and Ark Survival?
I thinks it’s Craftopia with Pokémon.
Same devs so it absolutely is.
With Pokemon yeah basically
…ok i give it a try on release.
It’s released on steam atm, early access.
…no, actual release.
Craftopia, the company’s previous game, has been in early access for four years. I don’t think this game is getting a release either.
I really don’t know how to feel about this game
For me is a hard pass. First their have a really weird take of the creatures being stolen and you committing crimes and such and then…
Apparently the creature designs were made using AI
