Palworld just hit early access, but it’s already sold more than a million copies. It mixes classic monster catching with survival and base-building mechanics, and that combination is impossible to resist.

Once you’ve caught monsters, you can put them to work. They can take on chores like watering crops and mining ore, and can even protect your base with guns. Palworld can definitely be a little bizarre, but that weirdness is part of its fun.

Gotta Catch 'Em All!
Awesome Creature Collecting Games That Aren't Pokemon. The idea of using monsters to fight on the player’s behalf in a role-playing game was not started by the Pokemon franchise. To make this list, a game must allow the player to use creatures/entities to fight for them and also be collectible (in some way or another). The fighting does not have to be the traditional type - the creatures players collect must be used in a competition of some sort or be used in battle in some way.

Monster Hunter’s Pokemon Go-like game, finally released globally! | Impressions - Monster Hunter Now
In Monster Hunter Now, players explore their surroundings to locate, track, and engage with various monsters and creatures from the Monster Hunter series. The gameplay involves hunting monsters, gathering resources, upgrading your gear, and engaging in fast-paced sub-minute battles. The battles are quick --- not as lengthy and epic as the mainline games --- but I find the bite-sized nature of it fun and just fits the AR-based nature of the game perfectly.
