So I played PALWORLD...

what's good YouTube it's your boy mom time and welcome back to Mom time gaming man be sure to like share subscribe and leave a comment below if you like the content and today I'm here to give y'all my thoughts on the most controversial game at the moment and that is power world now there's been so much discourse about this game online that it's truly hard to ignore and as a grown man rock and a Pikachu hat I figured I had to throw my two cents into the mix so as soon as I dropped into this world I instantly felt the poorness I felt the lack of budget the struggling frame rate the hit and miss graphics and the overall lack of originality it felt like I had dropped into a rom hack or some sh the poker I mean the pals are hands down the most bootleg and blatant Pokemon ripoffs any game has ever did to come close to these things look like every fake Pokemon League ever made it feels like the developers put almost no thought into these things other than making them different enough to not get sued into Oblivion and have the Nintendo Yakuza hanging them over a balcony like you going to tell me this not a failed Piplup clone like come on bro the NPCs feel like dead bodies on puppet strings don't look for any cool and quirky personalities here folks because they are straight up stock models it is crazy you get guns and bats to beat Pals over the head with to weaken them enough so you can catch them in pal spheres you spend half of your time foraging for resources like a raccoon looking in a dumpster for a Baconator and the other half of your time is spent building a prison industrial complex to keep your little pals enslaved and working 24 hours a day for absolutely no pay and for some strange reason it works like really good I'll admit when I first threw this game came on I was ready to write it off I was completely unimpressed with this game the internet was raving about and then I started crafting stuff and then I discovered the level up system that lets you craft even more stuff and then I started capturing Pals by the 10 so I could level up and then I started leveling them up and equipping them with guns and Saddles and then I started flying around on them and discovering even bigger and rarer Pals and then I started putting them to work on my Plantation like Leonardo Dicaprio and then I lost my house and family to addiction it was great I genuinely started having a good time power world is a strange mixture of various franchises wrapped up in a super sketchy package it's an action adventure Survival game that takes elements of Zelda Elden ring Animal Crossing Ark and a course Pokémon and blends them all together to make something that's actually super fun and addictive shoot cutesy creatures in the face is not supposed to feel this good but it does there's so many things in this game that can keep you sunk in it for hours and it's only an early access this isn't even a finished product and it's already taking the gaming World by storm the game is wacky as hell almost Barren of any real story characters at the moment and buggy as [ __ ] but I just want to keep leveling up keep catching monsters keep fighting Tower bosses and keep building my pal prison into a pal Paradise Everything feels familiar here if you ever played the last Pokemon games or Zelda titles you'll feel right at home it's not the most graphically impressive game but it definitely looks A Step Above scarlet and violet and some of the environments are actually nicer than some of the ones in the games I just mentioned the game is actually huge the combat is pretty Bare Bones and basic but it's smooth enough to get the job done sometimes it get so cartoonishly chaotic that it almost feels like you're playing fortnite or something even taking on certain boss monsters can feel dare I say Souls like in some battles hell they even copied the goddamn ever gos from Elder ring this game is absolutely Shameless about its influences and I love it the pals are obviously not the most uniquely designed creatures but they do have a weird charm to them that grew on me over time they almost reminded me of those weird knockoff Pokemon Gotta toys or offbrand plushies you could win out of a claw machine the more I seen them walking around getting trapped in glitches at my base the more I started to like them building bases is also another dope part of the game coming home after adventuring all day and using the resources you've gathered to craft weapons armor more facilities for your base and a bunch of other things is a gameplay Loop that I didn't expect to like this much watching my pals clumsily walk around getting chores done to help me build my Empire made me feel like gangas Khan if he was a daycare worker your base can also get invaded by random mobs of either human factions or wild Powers I once had a group of overlevel giant blue Barney looking dinosaurs invade my base and started beating the absolute dog [ __ ] out of everybody in sight the tower bosses are a surprisingly hard challenge these ain't no gym leaders I'll tell you that much they will murder you the first one you face is Zoe and Gris bolt and they play as a sort of tutorial boss to get you ready for what's to come there's five in total and they are tough if you challenge them under leveled or unprepared you're also trapped in these towers with no way to escape except through defeating them or getting defeated yourself your pal ain't hitting no water sprinklers in this [Music] [Applause] bit Ash huh Rock Pokémon are weakened by water [Music] Pikachu and this game has a surprising level of complexity to it there's a ton of mechanics in this game that I kept discovering over time and some that I still don't know any about it's like new things just keep popping up as I go now I like this game a lot but it's definitely not without its flaws I feel like the base and crafting systems could definitely use some work I wish they were more simplified and streamlined having to break down an item just so I can move it and becoming too heavy to move got annoying as hell after a while this also applies if you want to move the location that get base alog together because you have to break down everything just to move the materials to another spot you can also have up to three bases but they don't share resources and that was kind of whack to me the other thing I think needs major Improvement is the AI the pals at the base there was too many times where a pal couldn't do its job because it would get stuck behind a wall get stuck on top of something or get stuck in some water and I would have to deposit them in and out of the PO Box just to fix the issue every time I would leave my base and come back it look like a tornado had hit it my pals would be scattered all over the place hungry with broken bones and not doing a god damn thing just give them two more brain cells and I think they'll be all right and can y'all please do something about the flying I hate it that my bird had to take a break every two seconds while I'm trying to fly over a volcano and not get us turned into a bucket of KFC it's annoying especially considering how big of a map there is to explore I just want to S the skies in peace since it's still in Early Access I'm not going to harp too much on the graphics or story or anything like that since it has a clear disclaimer that this is a beta version that's taken over the world but I do hope to see some improvements to the enemy and power AI the sound design frame rate and all the little technical stuff that's still Rough Around the Edges I think if they get all this stuff right this could be one of the biggest games ever I seen the road map they put out a few days ago and it looks promising hopefully they deliver now when it comes to the discussion of power world versus Pokemon I think they can actually coexist for now I think power world offers a much better single player experience or even the experience of running around an open world which your friends than the last few entries in the Pokemon franchise have it plays like the game Pokemon fans have been begging game freak to make forever Pokemon on the other hand has always been more of a traditional turn-based RPG with a lot of strategy and competitiveness involved and because they play so differently I think they can have their own respective lanes and be successful in them I mean Pokemon is still the highest grossy media franchise of all time so it's not like it's going anywhere anytime soon but to me Pokemon hasn't done the greatest job of balancing the single and multiplayer experiences over the last few entries in the series while the competitive VGC side of things has grown in popularity over the years it seems like the main Adventure side of the games has been lacking for a while now and I feel like the crazy success of power world is a clear reflection of that whether Nintendo game freak and the Pokemon company take note of that and use it to improve the quality of their games in the future is yet to be seen but right now power is filling that void for a lot of people and if they get the PVP they plan on adding to the game to be as fun and engaging as the main game itself well that'll be a whole other discussion for another time and let's face it Pokemon needs competition the lack of it is exactly why we've gotten such lackluster games over the last couple years they've gotten comfortable and they've gotten lazy they were definitely more on their toes when something like Digimon was on their heels overall I'm feeling an 8 out of 10 for power world in its current state I think the game is super addictive super enjoyable has scary potential to be one of the biggest games ever it's already breaking all kinds of Records on Steam and it hasn't even been out a month yet this is possibly the greatest Pokemon clone of all time if you have Xbox game pass or a PC I definitely recommend you give it a shot but let me know what y'all think about the game below you loving it you hating it or is it just a mid feel free to share your thoughts but that's going to do it for me man be sure to like share subscribe and leave a comment below if you like the content and I'm going to be back with another one real real soon man so stay tuned and I'm out
