Once Human review - mediocre action limits a cracking open world
Once Human offers a compelling open-world experience but is hampered by mediocre action and a cluttered interface. Despite its drawbacks, it remains engaging.
Once Human, made by Starry Studio, immerses players in a post-apocalyptic world where they fight against creatures created by an alien substance called Stardust. The game is available on PC and features an expansive open world filled with curious and dangerous anomalies.
Despite its strengths in crafting and exploration, the game's combat system leaves much to be desired. Many battles feel too easy, and even boss fights require more patience than skill, making the action elements tedious over time.
The game's interface can be overwhelming with numerous menus and items, often complicating gameplay. However, the extensive customization options and the engaging world-building elements make it an intriguing experience overall, especially since it’s free to play.
