I died of heatstroke while riding a dragon to a volcano. 10/10

In all seriousness, Palworld is a good offering for an early access game, but not without issues.

The first of these is the performance during extended play sessions. After 2-3 hours of play, the framerate suffers, and the game will eventually crash. This is likely a hardware issue on my end, as I only have the minimum RAM (16GB), but other players also experience this. A workaround that helps is disabling NVIDIA High Definition Audio from your system settings, and I've found that disabling shadows also helps.

Another major issue is that sometimes Pals will stop working on their assigned tasks, accompanied by their stations vanishing from the Monitoring Station's menu. You can lift and throw pals to manually reassign them, but keep an eye on your fridges and power plants.

Pals will also occasionally just stop moving, and the lift/throw technique also fixes them.

Overall, I can't say these issues stop me from recommending the game, but it's another level of micromanagement on a game that, for me at least, is already filled with it.
