Eu nunca tinha jogado 4x, gostei da experiencia, superou minhas expectativas.

I really wanted to like this game; I played lots of Civ and wanted a change of pace, so some things seemed fun or at least different (developing cities, claiming regions instead of tiles, fighting more tactical battles with more elevation). Lo and behold how uninteresting it is to fight your opponents, "Red", "Green", "Blue", "Yellow", and "Brown". There is no time like in Civ when you're cursing Ghandi or Bismarck or friggin' Pericles. Instead, it's "Blue" with yet another stupid diplomatic ask. NO I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU SCIENTIFIC CORRESPONDENCE!

Instead, the rotating cast of cultures means everyone feels much the same, everyone changes quickly, and you don't have the same investment in the game. Do I care that Red and Blue are at war? I probably should, but only if it means one has more "Fame", whatever the heck that is. There's nothing quite like the feeling of teching up only to run into a roadblock where you can't get enough Fame stars for the next era, and instead watch Green run away with the game because they took three cities instead of two. It could have been really fun to see Zhou go into Ming or Han, then Edo or Viet, then China or Japan, but no; everyone can go anywhere, and often it feels like the game was decided a hundred meaningless moves ago. At least in Civ I have an actual character to yell at when they take my city location instead of some knock-off Mii.

A game filled with interesting ideas, ideas that are poorly thought out for a 4x title however. Some aspects of inovation seem interesting, being able to change your culture in every era to either have better strengths or shoring up your weaknesses. That or creating powerful cultural combinations. Definitely interesting ideas. Expansion not through settlers but instead regular scouting units, being able to establish outposts to claim territory BEFORE expanding a city. Again, interesting ideas. And yet, not well thought out.

Despite its problems, at least to me, Civilization games felt balanced in what they tried to do with civilizations. They mostly had singular focuses but you could choose a single way to play, and win through it. Be it military, culture, science or religion. This game, fails at that. It encourages playing in a varied style (Dont focus on a singular aspect, focus on multitudes of them) and in doing so stifles focusing on singular things.

I started playing as Babylonians, a science focused culture, once i reached the Classical Age, at the start of it i finished researching all of the Classical tech. And then i could not research anything until i could reach the medieval age. So here i am, a civilization focused on science, with buildings focused on science, and now im being actively punished with my science points now being wasted every turn due to not being able to research anything.

That alone killed any further desire i had to play this game. The developers had interesting ideas, but that fact alone, that a science focused civilization can just be kneecaped by not being allowed to research anymore shows that those ideas were not thought out well. Because in this case, any other civilization that for example focuses on diplomacy, economy or building will have an infinite advantage.

I do not reccomend this game unless you want to try it out for free. But buying it? Dont. Just go buy civilization. Inovative ideas matter little when their implementation is so poorly thought out.

I really want to like Humankind, it has many clever ideas, but it just doesn't quite come together. I can't put my finger on exactly what the problem is, but it lacks the "just one more turn" feeling I crave.

I really do not know why they thought that so many of these game mechanics were a good idea. Combat strength of enemies randomly changing after you declare war on them, a diplomacy system that forces you to declare war on people even if you aren't ready, strategic resources that are both critical to many culture's developments and also sparse enough that you will never get them, hunting mechanics that give you less gold than it takes to heal your units after, did they even playtest this game at all??? I'm genuinely confused. It's clearly a a game with a lot of money behind it, but so many baffling decisions were made that would be obvious to anyone. I'm too confused at how this game could even be made to be frustrated.

At first glance humankind looks very promising but once you get deeper into it you start to notice a bunch of flaws in the mechanics which really dampens the replayvalue.

Even though the game looks pretty, has beautiful soundtracks and some interesting mechanics Im just not sure if I can recommend it, at least not full price.

Fun game but unfair AI even on normal difficulty and so many bugs made it unplayable, bugs likes can't built unit (cause ghost blocked my spawn point) and AI keep declaring war right after the war ended in the same turn. so if you a masochist, this game is for you.

Great art, great music, great narration, great sound

good game just wish there were more people playing it

Did not enjoy the game. Overly complicated game mechanics with little explenation how to play. Feels like a Civ copy.
