I have to give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Credit where it’s due – it’s undoubtedly one of the most ambitious video game remakes ever made.

Plenty of essential components of Palworld are achieved only through building, from the palbox used to revive pals to most of the game’s defensive options. Although avoiding the building process essentially reworks Palworlds difficulty may look impossible at a glance, seemingly impossible things sometimes just turn out to be brutally difficult. The non-building flow of Palworld was completed by Reddit user ballom29who documented the feat in…
