Childhood imagination dream come true with a twist of survival game mechanics.

1. If you like the idea of having a companion do different things instead of the usual static 4 directional style (mount and slash only), you're gonna have a great time creating saddle for each Pals and discovering their abilities.
2. If you like the idea of collecting animals like in Zoo Tycoon and displaying them on your attraction spot and designing a lots of furniture and stuff, you also got it here.
3. If you like the idea of power scaling on survival games like in Valheim or Conan Exiles with different scaling of ores, metals, etc, you're gonna have a lot of fun.
4. If you like the idea of art in games like Minecraft or The Forest, you're gonna have a lot of fun since the Unreal Engine graphics here suits the environment so well, though I just wanna state that the building designs are mediocre and they could add more stuff later on.
5. If you like the idea of just adventuring and fighting all you encounter (or Catch specifically, yes even humans), just like a madman in Farcry 3 or GTA, you're gonna have a blast. There are a lot of boss fights and mini-bosses to try head-on even if you're just level 1.
6. If you are a hard-core Pal hater, you can also be just a human powerhouse with deadly weapons and obliterate everything in your way. A level 60 weapon can easily overpower a legendary Pal, weird right. You can just adjust the World Settings to cater for your taste.

Overall, you can gain EXP on whatever you do. Exploring new areas, cooking, planting, watering crops, or just maybe walking? lol.
If your attention span is not that great and you tend to easily get bored, this is not the game for you. You need several hours to enjoy this game to the extend. It made me feel the time travel kicks again. Turning 5 hours into just like 30 minutes and didn't notice the time.

Highly recommended.
