I really hope you’ve taken a breather inbetween your internet raging to realize the “violent” aspects of this game are completely optional. It’s tastefully done, and absolutely no different than killing Minecraft cows for food. Are you a vegetarian when you play Minecraft?
If the game wasn’t also low effort slop that’s borderline an asset flip with how many designs they’ve stolen, I’d probably tolerate it more but I’m awestruck so many people are eating this trash up and celebrating it.
If you’re going to parrot stuff you heard off Twitter, the least you can do is verify it for yourself first. The designs aren’t stolen. Did they steal 3D models? No. Are they shamelessly similar? Yes. But that’s allowed, and it’s been a staple of the gaming industry for 30 years. We literally call other genres of shamelessly similar games by the games they copy. Soulslikes. Roguelikes. Metroidvanias.
You clearly haven’t tried this game. It’s not “slop,” it’s high effort, there is a ton of attention to detail, and the success it has gotten is absolutely earned. I’ve never seen an indie game get so much right.
It beat Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam. It has more players than the 2023 Game of the Year.
Steam is filled with trash low effort games, yes. But are you really so full of yourself that you think Palworld would sell this well if it were just another shovelware title? If it were “slop?” Grow up, please.
And let’s not forget the franchise you’re defending. THIS is slop:
Not taking position, but for example Dead Cells offers a diet option, where you can choose the type of “food” (healing collectibles) you find scattered across the levels. I find that it’s an interesting and fun option to offer players.
Forget Minecraft, are they vegetarian? It would be peak hypocrisy to be so concerned about how people treat pixel animals and not care how real life animals are treated.

Does the character laugh with a snobbish “hon hon hon!” when he eats La Baguette?

“low effort” lol Not to mention they made an entire game to prepare for palworld…
I’m 100% convinced craftopia was a testbed for the mechanics they wanted in palworld lol
