Cozy MMO Palia is now available in public beta, and although fans have wasted no time getting their best fantasy lives started, there have been a few complaints.
On August 10, Palia finally entered open beta and so opened itself up to all players for the first time ever. So far, the game has received mixed reactions, with some cozy gaming fans praising its visuals, NPCs, character creator, and more.

On a more positive note, there are also a lot of good things players are saying about Palia. For instance, this Twitter user has shared a screenshot of a dog with the caption:
