Palworld really didn’t do anything revolutionary. It’s a pick’n’pack of 4 separate games. All that they did well was get the game as fun and addictive as possible. How they’d incorporate more “fun” elements into a platformer, I’m not sure. Gonna check the demo later.
What they did was, whether intentionally or accidentally, capitalize on dissatisfaction with the stagnation of a genre. If Pokemon Legends: Arceus had been the Pokemon + Breath of the Wild game a lot of folks hoped it would be, Game Freak could have capitalized on that instead, but it wasn’t, they didn’t, and here we are. Palworld also had the force of an internet meme marketing the game for them, which IMO was a huge factor in its success.
You’re entirely correct, but also capitalizing on people’s dissatisfaction with another franchise still doesn’t make it revolutionary. The gameplay is very much just Ark but with pokemon and wall climbing
