Great piece! This game is all we've talked about at the game studio I work at this week. That and now Enshrouded. I've purposefully not shown my 8-year old son anything about Palworld because I'm actually timing how many days it takes for the hype to reach him and his school, resulting in him coming home and asking if he can play it. For Lego Fortnite's release it took about one week.

Other interesting thing is I showed my son the Enshrouded launch trailer last night and his reaction was: "So they copied Zelda and added base crafting? Cool! I'm in." I'm pretty sure we'll end up playing that together soon enough.

The comment "I got really excited when I found out you could ride the Pokémon, when I saw they had a saddle! That was my favorite part." is why Nintendo is going to come after this with its full arsenal of attorneys. This is damaging to the Pokemon brand. I don't think it will last long.

As for the game itself? I don't know too much about it honestly and I'm glad I follow people like you Patrick who are paid to keep on top of it. Thankfully my child isn't old enough for this yet, and I was just replaying Link to the Past on my Analogue Pocket last night so I might be too old to play this. Ha!

Thanks for covering this though. Glad to be informed about it. Crazy the numbers it has done already.
