Can confirm: It's fun enough for $26. It's kinda like if ARK, Pokemon, and BOTW had a baby. It is most similar to ARK though, so if you're looking for a straight up pokemon game, this might not be what you're looking for.
I don’t think I would have purchased it, but it was a blast to play with PC GamePass. Had a solid weekend where I couldn’t put it down, eventually I got into a loop of just going egg hunting and waiting for them to hatch and uninstalled because I was finally burned out.
Considering that Pocketpair can't even seem to be able to finish their other (highly plagiarised) games "Never Grave" and "Craftopia", I'm not spending a single cent until they actually finish it.
Why are we holding big corpos accountable for selling unfinished games that later get patched with free DLC, but then allow a faux indie company (The CEO of Pocketpair actually is a businessman who owns a crypto exchange. So not at all an indie company) to do the same for the same price as the whole ark survivor bundle?
You could always just set sail to play it matey!
Piracy is ALWAYS morally correct!
I played for 15 minutes and said "I'd rather play BotW."
Beating fluffy animals with a club to death or enslavement just isn't my speed.
Especially when they start running from you...
They know. They're afraid. They won't let you make their name Toby.
You're doing it wrong. Fun hot take, sure, but yeah....
Ah, so you convince your Pals to get in the pokeballs with hugs and kisses before sending them to your voluntary free labor camps?
I love how we have higher standards for fake digital animals than we have for actual living humans when it comes to labor.
Wow, recruiters in your area play hardball
They get a cozy bed, a warm fire, and prepared meals to eat in exchange for their servitude. You can also catch them by sneaking or while they are sleeping and not need to hurt them. There are also caged ones in bandit camps you rescue and they join you; presumably willingly.
You could also just catch the bad humans that shoot you on sight and make a prison camp without resorting to enslaving innocent chibi animals. We all know humans suck anyway.
Ah, so you provide basic food and shelter for their labor after capturing them in their sleep or otherwise unable to defend themselves?
Interesting, interesting.
Basic? I built them things a stone castle while I sleep in a wooden shack. I eat nothing but berries and feed them the finest meats and cakes. They have a bath house that I can't even use! My Kinguins live like kings!
(just don't ask where the meat came from)
To be fair, half the of them were already probably eating the other half before I showed up 🤷🏻♂️
Read this again with slavery plantations in your mind and see how it feels, just once!
