I'm surprised that I haven't already written a review about this game.
OnceHuman is my favorite game at the moment and literally the only game I've been playing
I'll try to give this a genuine review without being super biased.
This mobile game is in the survival horror type genre. Think about games such as undawn and life after
Here's a breakdown of what these games entail. You create a character in a post-apocalyptic world and build your own Homestead. After that, now you have to travel and traverse the world by doing missions, sidequest and going through towns and villages to grab items that are needed to create better weapons.
Now these open world character, creating games, are pretty fun. And they can keep your attention for a very long time, especially with all of the gathering materials and traveling to go to certain places to get these materials.
Since we went over with the basics are of the survival games. Let's talk about what makes once human unique. Compared to undawn and life after.
Once human has a slew of different weapons and a slew of different builds. Now with these builds, you can amplify them with something called mods. These mods allow you to change the damage and your abilities. You get theseby exploringthe wild and fighting bosses. On top of that, there are something called deviations. And these deviations, just like The Mods, you go out into the world fight bosses, join battles with other players called public events. You can collect these deviations. Think of deviations are buddies that help you fight, gather material and are just awesome 👌.
At its very beginning, OnceHuman had a unique mechanic. That, after a few weeks, everything was reset. And you had to start from the beginning with some of your deviations which are Partners that help you battle. And that give you abilities and some of the blueprints which blueprints allow you to create weapons whenever you find the raw materials.
Now, due to a lot of criticism and players who just didn't want to start over which really confused me.Because that was the main mechanic of the game that set it apart from any of the other games once human decided to keep that mechanic.But add in permanent servers.So the quality of life really flourished and allowed people to commit to permanent servers, and to keep playing, so that was a plus.
But where a lot of these games fall apart are the storyline.
The game soon switches from continuing the storyline to hardcore switching to the cosmetics of the game, which a lot of gamers really like to eat up, and that makes sense the purpose of a game is to make money.
We've seen it in undawn..... They lost a lot of their playerbase because they didnt update the story snd only focused on cosmetics.
Life after was able to make a switch. And they released a lot of new content which kept them alive, but once human is following in the footsteps of undawn and they need to make a switch ASAP.
Undawn Sadly has not seen a story update for a while, but they release cosmetics every week because they know it'll make money from the few whales they have and this cannot happen to OnceHuman.
So thank you for coming to this review, and I apologize for the long rant and all of this text but I feel as a game that I really enjoy. I have to talk about the good and the bad out of respect that way. I can let my fellow gamers make an ultimate decision on if they want to play this or if they don't want to play this.
