When Game Freak made the first Pokémon, they forgot something that could have changed everything: giving machine guns to Pikachu to take out the rest of the creatures to the rhythm of “Pika Pika”. Now, many years later, we finally have the solution: ‘Palworld’ is a twist on the classic game but much more violent, much more capitalist, much more terrible. And we only have to wait until January 19th to try it out.

The downside, depending on who you ask, is that it will be an exclusive for Xbox One that will go straight to the Game Pass from day one, so not everyone will be able to play it. But it’s worth it: your Pokémon, called “buddies” here, can do everything from working to dying in your factory to being enjoyed as a delicacy or sold to the highest bidder.
No one knows if this game will be good, but we do know one thing: the bugs will have guns and machine guns to use during combat because they can kill each other. Goodbye to the “fainting” of the originals: here we go all out. But, in addition, you will not play alone, but in a multiplayer of up to 32 people with whom you can build bases, enter dungeons and fight against gigantic final bosses.
At the very least, there is no doubt that upon its release it will be a huge success that may continue over time, when they add even more “colleagues” through DLC. There are only two real possibilities: either it is a fantastic satire of Pokémon or it is completely incomprehensible and we will forget about it in two days. Personally, I want to believe… but they don’t make it easy.
