Players complain about the endgame of Palworld, community says: “Expectations are somewhat exaggerated”

More and more players are gradually reaching the endgame of Palworld. However, this leads to quite a bit of discussion in the community, as many believe: It is not enough.

What is the endgame of Palworld? The maximum level of Palworld is 80, and with the Island of the World Tree, you unlock the final area after defeating Panthalus. There you can snag some exclusive Pals and materials and explore new places and defeat bosses one last time.

After that, you are completely free to use the world that is offered to you however you like. Build bases, catch and breed Pals, or do this and that. Since Palworld is a sandbox survival game, there is no truly dedicated end, even if there are some finite parameters such as level, blueprints, or quests.

You decide for yourself when you have completed the game. Many players feel that what feels like endgame to them is not enough (see Reddit). However, the community believes: There is a solution for that.

“Modern gamers have definitely forgotten that sometimes you just play a game.”

How does the community view the players’ criticism of the endgame? On Reddit, there is a large thread by user cablelegs discussing exactly this topic. He opens his post with the following words:

This is a $30 game without microtransactions that you can easily play for 100 hours. The expectations for the ‘endgame’ are a bit exaggerated.

I also wished the game had endless content that would entertain me for life. But it does not. Defeat the final bosses in hard mode and either start over or play another game.

This is supported by over 6,000 upvotes and more than 400 comments. Many users believe that if you can’t get enough of the gameplay, you could simply start anew and make it harder to have more and longer enjoyment.

Or turn to one of the other many great games available in the market that also wouldn’t necessarily drain your wallet completely.

KidKudos98 also believes: “Modern gamers have definitely forgotten that sometimes you just play a game.” Over 800 users agree. Many also point out that not all games need a forever-long endgame, especially if they come at a relatively low price while still delivering hundreds of hours of gameplay content.

samanime adds: “We need to let go of the idea that a single game should offer thousands of hours of gameplay. So many fantastic games are released every year. People should definitely try them out!”

With the open world of Palworld and its inhabitants, many players also connect funny and curious stories. Some areas seem to have a deterrent effect, even though there is indeed a quest that leads there: A player is afraid of an island in Palworld, only to realize at level 62 that it is quite harmless.
