Adventure game Palworld breaks records: sales exceeded 5 million copies in the first three days. An important feature of the project is the ability to tame friends, whimsical creatures that are somewhat similar to Pokemon. They are used both in combat and in everyday life. And if you have already completed Palworld, we recommend that you pay attention to other games about funny animals. We have collected the best of them in this article.

Pokemon series

Initially, Palworld was conceived as an analogue of the series Pokemon, PC and Xbox only. Let us remind you that ‘Pocket Monsters’ are only available on Nintendo consoles. Exceptions – mobile phone spin-offs in the spirit of Pokémon Go. The first installments of this series were released on the portable Game Boy in the mid-1990s. But we recommend that you familiarize yourself with more recent projects, for example Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, in which the usual Pokemon catching takes place in a completely open world.
Super Animal Royale

This The game is a classic battle royale with an overhead view and cartoon graphics. The main characters here are various cute little animals. Among them are pandas, cats, dogs, raccoons and foxes. To fight with each other they use firearms, but also unusual vehicles, for example wheels with hamsters in them.

Okami

Underrated masterpiece by Hideki Kamiya, author Resident Evil 2 Devil May Cry and Bayonette. We control the Japanese Sun Goddess, who has taken the form of a white wolf. She uses magic to fight enemies, and all spells must be drawn on the screen using a joystick, Wii-mote, or touchscreen depending on the platform.
Crash Bandicoot series

In the 90s, Crash was the main symbol of the first PlayStation. Today, games about bandicoot are released on all current platforms, including PC, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. They are colorful 3D platform games with puzzle elements. We recommend that you read the first three parts, which have been republished in the collection N. Sane Trilogy, as well as the relatively new one Crash Bandicoot 4: About time.
Ghostsman

The main character of this indie game is a girl named Stella. His job is to bring the souls of the dead to the afterlife. They look like little creatures and you have to take care of them throughout the journey. The main character is accompanied everywhere by a fluffy cat named Narcissus. Please note that despite the cartoon images, Spiritfarer is intended for an adult audience.
Strayed

A game about a cute cat trying to survive in a world inhabited by robots. By genre Stray is an adventure game: we wander through the city and solve countless puzzles along the way. If you have a penchant for fluffy tails, don’t come by.
FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch

FIST is dedicated to the confrontation between anthropomorphic animals and aggressive robots. We play like a rabbit in an exoskeleton. He risks his life to save his friends from prison. Forged In Shadow Torch’s gameplay is reminiscent of platformers with Metroidvania elements in the spirit of Hollow Knight and the Ori duology.
Cateau

A visual novel starring a chubby cat. Our little furry wants to heal his neighbor with the help of other cats that should come to her house. However, many of them do not want to leave their homes. To convince the tails, you will have to carry out their instructions.
Blacksad: Under the skin

A noir quest based on the graphic novel of the same name. Instead of people, there are anthropomorphic animals, and their appearance corresponds to their characters. The police here resemble dogs or foxes, and the bandits resemble various reptiles, such as crocodiles. The game will appeal not only to fans of the original comic, but also to those who miss quality missions.
What do you think of classic treasure hunts?
The wilderness

And if you want to play a complex survival game about animals, we recommend that you pay attention to The WILDS. In it you have to get food, find a safe place to sleep and try not to die from the teeth and claws of aggressive predators.
