I love it! it's super cute and cozy with magic! love the dungeons and flower breeding aspects, love all the different crafting options, even decorating your little houses and all the bugs and plants etc... truly beautiful game and have been playing since release. Since it's release, it has had many quality of life updates and the dlcs are great! My only gripe is that the relationships with NPCs feel a bit empty? they repeat what they say a lot and there's not enough options for meaningful interactions with them that would make relationship building more interesting like other cozy games.

Palia is an amazing and FREE multiplayer online roleplaying game. Super cozy and fun, loads of content and a great story and character depth. Lots of the game mechanics are super clever, like how the NPCs behave, how multiplayer features work together. If you do want to support the development team and spend money on customisation outfits you can, although totally not even needed as there's plenty available for free anyway. Yes there's bugs, but that's to be expected in an early access game as it's in Beta. They are reliably and consistently doing updates with new content and working to fix bugs always. I've been enjoying this game for months now and that's saying something! Graphics are better on PC then switch (of course) but that's to be expected, very playable on switch also, I play on both - I use my switch for convenience when I need to. No issues :) I can't wait to see what this game has to offer as we progress.

I've been playing Pokemon games since I was 7yrs old, Violet game feels so rushed, shallow and lazy, it doesn't feel finished. I'm a bit disappointed, I was expecting more. The clunky animation, the time lags, the laziness of the copy and pasted restaurants, shops and NPCs, one area in a city actually had the same "business man" NPC walking around the buildings copy and pasted 5 times in the same vicinity. You can't enter people's houses and most shops and cafes/restaurants are just pop up menu's. Can't change the ugly school uniform. No fun interactions with NPCs or exploring buildings anymore, where they might give you a cool item or lead you to some interesting place. The open world is cool and all but they've removed features that made it somewhat enjoyable like picking different berries of berry trees, now they're just found as sparkles on the floor randomly? boring. The open world is huge but quite empty. The wild pokemon are just plastered around the environment pointlessly. They have removed the ball throwing feature from Arceus and there is no "side quests" to speak of. The whole point of having an open world game is that there is meant to be things in the open world that are interesting to find and explore. This game lacks any of that. Heading in the right direction if they can improve these aspects, but this game just feels so unfinished and lazy. Also find the map very annoying and although having the option to choose what order you do things in is all well and good but this doesnt work when the levels of places will either be too low or too high when you traverse the map and get there. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to this game for a long time.

Excellent game, great graphics and game play, haven't had any problems running it on my xbox one s. Really love the whole sci-fi futuristic setting and all the gritty underground themes.
