Pocketpair’s Palworld is a very pretty game with adorable creatures and hilarious moments that provide no end of fun for players. However, they’ve left out something that many Palworld players think would improve their gameplay experience – Photo mode.
Within the first day of playing, I racked up 11 hours of adventure with my Pals and shared a lot of screenshots of my progress. I’m not alone, either. Over a million players joined the game within the first eight hours of the Beta being released and many of them are saying the same thing — why no photo mode?
Palworld desperately needs a photo mode
With seemingly endless wild areas to explore across a huge map with stunning scenery, it’s infuriating to try and take screenshots only to have the UI blocking half of the view. Take, for instance, this screenshot I took of this Desolate Church:
It’s beautiful, true, but wouldn’t it just be so much better without the Tutorial and menu infiltrating the vista?
It’s not just the scenery that I’d love to take photos of, either. At one point, my Eikthyrdeer started complaining that he was hungry, and I couldn’t figure out why. There was plenty of food available, it wasn’t blocked and he wasn’t injured. But then I found him. Stuck in a tree:
It’s not just the UI itself that’s bothersome when trying to take photos, it’s the sheer amount of UI. Everything piles on top of each other to create what feels like a very cluttered and claustrophobic screen.
As I said, I’m not alone in dreaming of UI-free pictures of my Pals and the world around me on the Palapagos. Players on the Community Forum of Steam are practically begging for it too.
The good news is that the game is in the very early stage of Beta, meaning that there’s no telling what could be added to the game over the coming months. Hopefully, seeing so many players asking for this feature will spur Pocketpair into implementing it. I’m sure that if we do, there will be a lot of stunning in-game shots coming our way in the future.
