That pal in the thumbnail looks like someone on the Palworld team took a fan edit of an Egyptian themed lucario and specifically designed that pal to look just like it.
- I would say almost all of them fall under the 'legally distinct but totally is' category.
  
  The server I set up for my friends is named "Portable Creatures: Exhalation of the Wilderness" for a reason.
- I read in steam reviews that the Dev is actually suspected to use genAi on Pokémon images to create their pal designs
  
  Would not surprise me either way.
This is like a merge of Satisfactory and Ark Survival?
- I thinks it’s Craftopia with Pokémon.
  
  Same devs so it absolutely is.
- With Pokemon yeah basically
  
  ...ok i give it a try on release.
I realize this is the linux gaming sub, but it's worth mentioning that this is on Gamepass too (I still use Gamepass on Xbox even though I don't game on Windows anymore).
- Really wish I could run the Windows Xbox app on Linux
  
  I kinda do too. It's nice having the option to play Gamepass games on PC or console. Some games are just more comfy on one than the other.
- Xbox cloud seems like a decent alternative when games simply don't run easily on Linux
  
  Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.
  
  That said, it DOES work well if you're into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.
  
  are there any games not running easily in linux these days?
  
  i mean apart from games with anticheat blocking it.
Can confirm, ran fine on my desktop machine without needing to tinker (caveat: I changed the "compatibility layer" to use proton-ge before attempting to launch it of my own initiative).
I really don't know how to feel about this game
Looks like another game that will be dead in a month.
- What's even the point in these kinds of comments? The game doesn't rely on the player community being large so why even bring it up?
  
  I would assume their point was that a lot of games seem to be driven by self propelling hype I'm not saying it's not necessarily a bad game, I just think that he means everyone will have forgotten about it by then and everyone will jump on the next hype train
  
  I guess there's nothing really being added to the conversation but I do see it in my friend groups where people hype up a game, buy it for a week then it's never mentioned again, the last one being lethal company
- Fortunately, since it's playable offline, it doesn't seem to matter how many people will be playing in a month.
