MeinMMO video producer Anna is actually at home in competitive titles like LoL or WoW. Out of boredom, she ventured into the cozy MMO Palia and was immediately captivated.
What game is it about? Palia is a cozy MMO that mixes multiplayer worlds with cozy single-player content. Instead of raid bosses, dungeons, and PvP, players here focus on building houses, tending their gardens, and fishing.
All of this content can also be found in many classic theme park MMORPGs, but in Palia, the focus is exactly on that. That you can create a good MMO with the nice little things of theme park MMORPGs is proven by the good reviews and player numbers on Steam. This also lured MeinMMO video producer Anna into the adventure.
Here you can see how Anna experienced the world:
The perfect game for min-maxing and wandering around
How did Anna experience it? MeinMMO video producer Anna usually plays games like World of Warcraft, League of Legends, or Call of Duty. In all of these games, the focus is very competitive and cozy content is not at the forefront.
Anna was even more curious whether she would enjoy Palia at all. But shortly after starting, she was thrilled. Instead of having to earn fun through skill, the competitive player suddenly became excited about expanding her house, decorations, and quests from the villagers.
Especially the countless tasks pulled her into the whirlwind. She explains:
You take on a quest, but on your way there, you suddenly see a bunch of other things that you can do ‘just quickly’. Mine a little ore, pick a plant, chat with a villager to get a new recipe for a piece of furniture. And since you’re already here, you might as well hunt that one Chapaa because you need meat for a dish.
Suddenly someone writes in the chat that a silver ore deposit has been sighted, and you sprint off to secure this rare resource. And bam, an hour has passed. Only then do you remember that you actually wanted to complete that one quest.
How is the game in the endgame? After Palia captivated MeinMMO video producer Anna for over 100 hours, she has now reached the endgame of the cozy MMO. She has completed the single-player campaign and now the MMO content has become more important.
For this, she found a community with which she regularly meets for so-called “Palia parties”. In the game, players get together to cook, hunt, and collect rare items. But even without a community, you often come across other players in the game.

While Palia is often underestimated as a contrast to classic theme park MMORPGs, the cozy MMO managed to convince MeinMMO video producer Anna despite her usually competitive games.
