Once Human - Free to Play

Once Human is a weird one. It's a combination shooter, crafting game with a stranger things like story.
One main issue is that your on an open world and you have to find a big enough space for your territory (read House if your playing on a PvE server). It's crowded and as you ride your motorbike along a road you get "you've entered X's territory" followed by "you've exited X's territory".

The game is not bad. Pretty good house building where things snap nicely to place. The tier once crafting is nice and easy to understand and do.
The main thing with crafting is that it takes time. However you don't need to stay around whilst you create 90 copper ingots. Just remember that you need to pick them up from the furnace when you've got back from whatever side activity you were doing

The combat is actually very good. I've just beaten the first rift boss and only used one revive because I got overwhelmed by adds.

The other main issue? It's another game with seasons - this one is I think 60 days.

After beating the second boss I've moved into the Iron area now and there are a lot less people around :)

My base has a load of iron ore outside which is nice.

There are more varied enemies now and the Rosetta agents are very annoying, they shoot back and will flank you.

For a free game it's very impressive and well worth trying if you've played say Valheim or any open world shooter/looter. Just be aware that it might take up a bit of your free time as I've now spent 20+ hours in it...

I've seen the beginning of this game and it was so reminiscent of Control, to the point it looked outright stolen instead of inspired by. They just copied abilities, art style and atmosphere wholesale for the game's opening. It had an awful impression on me.
 
I tried to play this last night, but had to download an update. Instead of updating through Steam, it tried to update in game while on the loading screen, and something was causing it to download incredibly slow. It was about 9gb, and my internet could do that in less than 5 minutes. Since it was in game and not via Steam, something messed up and I was downloading at around 200kb/s and I even waited a good 5 minutes to see if it will fix itself. It never did so I closed the game. Anyone else have this issue? I really want to try it but I’m not going to wait 3 hours to download a 9gb update, not sure why it didn’t go through Steam also.

Thanks for searching Steam discussion posts for me when I should have done that in the first place :ROFLMAO:

someone told me, once Human blends shooting, crafting, and a Stranger Things vibe. Great combat and building, but crowded PvE world and season system might not be everyone's cup of tea.

I believe that we should be able to showcase different vehicles in different garage's.
In the #1 slot I should be able to put my bike, the #2 slot should be empty because
my car is already out. Make it out to where your primary vehicle will spawn when you
want by making this an option in the garage menu
