Once Human - Before You Buy

Once Human is an early access PC survival game with a sci-fi twist. How is it? Let's talk first impressions.

Been playing this game and not once did I felt forced or motivated to buy anything from the store. Which is a plus. It's just fun to take your time. Loot and explore and just goof around.

For free games, the title should be "Before you try". You're welcome.

Best thing about Once Human is that developers are actually listening and improving the game. We already had many patches where they fixed, improved or removed certain aspects that players complained about. They also recently had an interview with Pirate Software and what came out of it seems promising. Its too early to dismiss this game based on what Jake said.

Already not liking how easily you got stuck in that drainage ditch… your character can’t walk up a ramp

I’m out. Live service isn’t my niche. Have a good day.

The devs honestly deserve our patience they are great and trying their best

I’m really enjoying this game; it has a chill vibe. Although I’m not usually into survival games, this one has hooked me. The live service elements don’t matter much to me, but the gameplay is simple and engaging. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I always appreciate hearing your views 🙏🏾

Game is more like Secret World meets Remnant, and a lot of H.P. Lovecraft atmosphere. and you DO NOT need to pay a dime for anything, it is not needed. My friends and I have been playing since launch fully free and nothing is paywalled. it's only cosmetics.

if its a F2P, and the model is done well. meaning no pressure with shops etc etc, just lets you play accumulated premium currency, has events and stuff than it could be a good model. I mean Genshin is an example where they introduce you to the mechanic, than they leave you be. Its up to you to go to the wish shop.

That logo on the wall at @2:51 looks familiar for some reason😂

Once again, another survival game that draws me in by looking cool just to remind me I suck at survival games

[RageZer]

Feels a lot like The Division meets The Secret World.

I’ve been playing the game for around 8 hours and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it with all the stuff you can do between exploring and boss battles and all the little activities you can do. I think a lot of people forget too and something you didn’t mention is the pvp aspect as well. There will be base raiding and player combat as well which is gonna be sick if they do it right because imagine you and your group are fighting a boss and outta no where another group pulls up to try and ambush you to take your loot etc. I like high risk games like that with that survival aspect

Jake those multiple currencies are almost all free currencies you get from progression. Only one of them is premium. The others are things you get for doing stuff, like questing, salvaging stuff, etc. True, there's like way too many "store" and other currency pages, and it's pretty confusing to look at, but you can't buy most of the stuff in them with real money. Only one actual store takes real currency, and again, it's mostly cosmetics.

The battle pass is $9.99 and is only cosmetics and a few consumables and currencies that you can get in the game anyway. I'd say the more important reason to get the battle pass is to support the devs. The free battle pass is pretty generous.

just fyi for everyone using the quote, the full version is: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes is better than a master of one"

[drkryptler]

You could always go with "before you try" instead of "before you buy" 😂

Game is fun. Time flies by when I play

[jangowolf]

I havent been abke to play it due to it crashing for unkown reason at start up, when broasing the title menu, in character creation, etc. It just crashes after several minutes of being opened.

20hrs in, not bad for live service. they usually cannot hold my attention this long. building is fun, but can be finnicky at times, story is compelling, bosses are cool, map is huge. idk how long it will last but i'm into it way more than i was the first descendant.
