Once Human is a fascinating game. There’s no other way of putting it. It’s a multiplayer open-world survival crafting game with a Ubisoft-style quest system (go here, clear an outpost, find hidden chests), a Pokemon-like creature collecting aspect with Palworld animal-workforce undertones, with Rust - or DayZ-esque - PvP and seasonal wipes to boot. It’s an eclectic hash of all these games, for better, and for wo

While that might sound dull, I actually found myself caught up in this simple task. Once Human is a gorgeous-looking game, especially for a free-to-play title, and the environmental design is varied from location to location. There might be a ruined high school, a deserted factory, or a wealthy hillside town. It’s incredibly detailed for a game of this size. Shops have individual menu boards listing off cakes and drinks from a bygone time. There are arcades, factories full of defunct machinery, children’s bedrooms with eerie murals on the walls. You explore the entire world on your trusty motorcycle and glider. The only thing that would make this better is a grappling hook . Overall, this world feels lived in, or at least, previously lived in, before everyone was turned into a zom

There was also a lot of uproar about character creation and server limitation. On the first day of launch, you could only make one character, on one server, and you couldn’t delete the character or move it to another server. This was quickly fixed by the developers - within 12 hours, actually - so those reviews can largely be igno

Performance has been fine for me, but then I’ve got a top-of-the-range computer. A few players have reported high CPU temps for the game, as well as stuttering and rubberbanding. Again, the game is free-to-play, so the best way to check the performance is to try

Once you have the seeds you want to plant, place a planting spot somewhere in your territory . Loamy Soil can be crafted right after unlocking the Planting Memetic. It only needs eight Boiled Water and three Spoiled Food .

The core gameplay loop involves players, as Stamp in his Junkster mech, exploring Smokestack Mountain to advance the narrative, returning to a village for mech and skill upgrades and the like, and exploring optional dungeons as needed. Rinse and repeat. The Junkster mech has a plethora of abilities, close-ranged and longer-ranged weapons, to face enemies as they explore the ruins of Smokestack Mountain. Our demo, as all good demos do, ended with a boss fight. It used all the abilities shown so far, alongside some interesting environment use, and it made it clear that Rusty Rabbit isn't a one-trick pony. Rusty Rabbit has genuine potential in the 2.5D side-scrolling action platformer genre , and those fans should definitely keep an eye on

Once Human is a multiplayer open-world survival game , where players must scrap by to survive, face unique enemies, and take back their world. The map design is filled to the brim with content to engage with, while the general aesthetic is pretty immersive too. There's a lot to unpack in this game, something we couldn't truly do in our limited time with it. The combat flowed well, if not exactly something to write home about, but it did have a few unique qualities. Some enemies have mechanical elements they'll drop that we can then temporarily utilize like a weapon. That was a lot of fun. We worked on clearing an area, and we could have approached it stealthily. However, whenever we turned around, an enemy was behind us. There's a challenge to playing it this way, but it did seem viable at the very le

After the game, we strolled through the menus and found that each hero had small story descriptions. If the heroes are lifeless, a hero shooter is dead in the water, but what's clear is that FragPunk 's heroes are full of life. The devs explained a little bit about the overarching lore and said they would be adding more story to each hero (as well as more heroes post-launch), but it's nailed its foundation. There are a lot of hero shooters coming in the next few months and years, but FragPunk is one to wa

The baked-in special ability will increase weapon damage and reload a bullet every time the player hits a weak spot on an enemy. This makes the R500 Memento a great backup weapon for taking down bosses in this third-person horror game . Overall, this is the best pistol in the game for most play

You can also use a Planter Box for a more organized look. This also increases the quality of the soil , which causes your crop to grow faster. You can unlock the Memetic for this after unlocking Compost Bins .
