Featured Game Review: Once Human [PlayStation 5 & Android & iOS & PC]
Once Human thrusts players into a desolate post-apocalyptic world dominated by an alien entity known as Stardust, which has twisted humanity into a grotesque shadow of its former self. In this new reality, humans, animals, and plants have mutated into horrifying creatures called Deviations. These abominations roam the devastated landscape, leaving the remaining human survivors to band together into factions. These factions range from trustworthy allies to malevolent adversaries and downright maniacs.
As a player, you assume the role of a Meta-Human who awakens amid this chaos, surrounded by terrifying Deviations and the threat of hostile survivors. Your character possesses the unique ability to withstand the contamination of Stardust and harness its power, but survival is far from guaranteed. Despite your enhanced abilities, Deviations can still tear you apart, and other survivors might kill you for their own gain.
The game can't be free-to-play
Once Human defies industry norms as a standout free-to-play game, offering a robust experience typically associated with premium titles. Its gameplay is a highlight, featuring solid mechanics and a satisfying blend of base-building and third-person gunplay. The base-building system stands out with intuitive features like "Flying Mode" and prefab duplication, enhancing construction without major issues aside from minor gripes with territory claims.
Visually, Once Human excels with a unique aesthetic blending Lovecraftian horror and urban legend-inspired machinery. This artistic direction creates a haunting and captivating world unlike any other in the genre. However, the audio experience is uneven, with a well-crafted but genre-misfit soundtrack and subpar voice acting that detracts from immersion.
Once Human offers unparalleled value with a wealth of content that would justify a premium price tag, all available for free. Whether exploring its eerie landscapes or engaging in smooth multiplayer battles, the game delivers an immersive experience. While narrative pacing and audio quality leave room for improvement, "Once Human" sets a high standard for free-to-play survival MMOs
Bottom Line
Once Human has come a long way since its closed beta, evolving into a compelling and engaging post-apocalyptic survival MMO. The base-building system stands out as a major highlight, offering intuitive and versatile features like "Flying Mode" and prefab duplication that make constructing intricate structures effective and enjoyable.
Despite these strengths, it's important to acknowledge that the game is not without its flaws. Issues such as the absence of a world grid and the sometimes troublesome territorial claim area, though minor, do detract from the otherwise smooth building experience. Moreover, the terms of service and certain aspects of the game still leave room for improvement.
Overall, Once Human is a testament to the developers' commitment to refining and expanding the game. With its rich customization options, robust gameplay mechanics, and captivating narrative, it provides an immersive and thrilling adventure.
