Some good, some really bad. Merging cities, great. Combat system, bad. Diplomatic interface, better. animations speed is horrible. DistrictSome good, some really bad. Merging cities, great. Combat system, bad. Diplomatic interface, better. animations speed is horrible. District system is incomplete. The whole game is incomplete. Where is the minimap. Released at least a 1 year too early.

From the faint outlines of religion to the background hum of influence, from the awkward city-building to the cumbersome tactical combat, all wrapped up in a cultural system that struggles to imprint a strong identity on your empire, Humankind strains under the weight of too many complex systems that too often find themselves colliding rather than coalescing. By turns disjointed and confounding, Humankind is nonetheless fascinating, at least to this experienced 4X strategy player, even if I couldn't say I truly enjoyed it.

Humankind may not have invented hot water, but it is sufficiently different from Civilization. And that results in a rock-solid game, not least because of its scale. In the game, you lead your people through the different eras of our civilization. At six different times you are presented with ten cultures that you can take over from then on. In addition, the characteristics of your previous choices are preserved, resulting in a unique melting pot of influences from a million (!) possible combinations. Each game is different, and you will spend many hours exploring only a fraction of the possibilities. That replayability alone makes Humankind more than worth its money.

While it's still in its early phases, the UI is quite nice and easy to read. Civ players will have no issue getting into this game. The AI could use some increased difficulty and more competent aggression. Would like to see more complex winning conditions without a forced turn limit victory. Overall quite fun and absolutely beautiful. Uses a good and comforting combination of the best of civ 5 with some elements of civ 6. Definitely a successful competitor to Firaxis with a little bit more work and updates.

Graphic is Gordius, music building climat in every era for every civ you pick. I love new tactic battles. Picking new civ every era is very cool because you can prepare new tactics vs what is going on on map. And AI is not that bad like is now in civ 6. Ofc u need to choose difficult lvl above "Nation". I want too see how this game will be supported in near futue, with new dlc etc. very big potential we have in Humankind
