Palia | Official Gameplay First Look

I have to say, what they have showed so far is a bit lackluster for a game, hoping they step it up after the beta.
- 25 player limit per server
- Only gathering/crafting game play loop with no real goal besides improving itself
- housing and relationship building is the goal, but tied to real time timer, which will likely become a premium skip eventually
- Cosmetics seems to be only through payment, which is usually blindsided since takes alway one more goal from the game play loop
Everything kind of rests on how good questing and adventure zones will be.
25 players is not a lot for what they call an MMO. I'm a bit skeptical of the game, but I signed up for the beta and will give it a go. Most games going for an Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley vibe just fail to capture what makes those games special.
Yeah, I agree, it looks very lacking overall.
