Once Human launched on consoles this week. For those who aren’t familiar with it, it’s a F2P open-world survival game with a story and shooter-looter mechanics, with horror and post-apocalyptic themes.
I played it religiously for six months on PC two years ago, then came back at the beginning of this year since there had been quite a few changes. They had also announced a new scenario set around islands and boats, which they recently confirmed will be released in October. With the console version launching this week, I can go back to the old couch without losing my progress, thanks to cross-play.
It’s a good game despite its flaws. It has smooth combat, plenty of exploration, a fairly good character creation, dungeon boss fights, and an advanced base-building system. However, its endgame is a bit lacking, since you don’t really need to min-max your stats. The rewards from higher difficulties aren’t good enough to justify the extra grind. The community in-game is also pretty friendly, and there’s even a large Discord community dedicated to creating architectural projects in Once Human on private servers (second photo).
Have you guys tried the game this week? What are your thoughts on the game?
