Been playing this game and not once did I felt forced or motivated to buy anything from the store. Which is a plus. It's just fun to take your time. Loot and explore and just goof around.

Best thing about Once Human is that developers are actually listening and improving the game. We already had many patches where they fixed, improved or removed certain aspects that players complained about. They also recently had an interview with Pirate Software and what came out of it seems promising. Its too early to dismiss this game based on what Jake said.

In the first day and first hours of the First Descendant, my friend tried to buy battle-pass and I have stopped him. We have played some, finished the story and left the game; the grind was evil kind. Anyway, if I wasn't there to stop him, he was definetely going to buy frames or cosmetics for a game he would play only for 30-35 hours and leave. Some people built different, trying to buy before try.

First time i have to disagree with Jake. This game is Early Access, and was marketed as such, except not on the Steam page for some reason. I get what Jake is saying, but even in Early Access, Once Human is the most fun i've had both solo and with friends. The survival aspect is good, the storyline is linear, but there's no need to follow it if you don't want to. The building and customization are great. Thge atmosphere changes in a very natural way so you get a bit of everything. Wanna go out on a cleaning spree? You can. Wanna get underground, explore deep storylines and fight bosses? You can. Wanna get a nice view of the land while fishing in a lake with the sun on your face? YOU CAN. Once Human speaks to many players in different ways, and that's exceptional in it's own. You can spend money on cosmetics and ''looking cool'', but for the real experience you HAVE to grind. Once Human is a great survival game for both beginners in the genre and experienced players, and with it still being in Early Access, this game has huge potential.

Jake those multiple currencies are almost all free currencies you get from progression. Only one of them is premium. The others are things you get for doing stuff, like questing, salvaging stuff, etc. True, there's like way too many "store" and other currency pages, and it's pretty confusing to look at, but you can't buy most of the stuff in them with real money. Only one actual store takes real currency, and again, it's mostly cosmetics. The battle pass is $9.99 and is only cosmetics and a few consumables and currencies that you can get in the game anyway. I'd say the more important reason to get the battle pass is to support the devs. The free battle pass is pretty generous.

I'm 20 hours in and it's been awesome. I don't feel like buying anything has been pushed on me, i didn't even know there was a store and battle pass until almost 10 hours in. Building is fun- there's even premade blueprints for houses that are free and you can move your base as you progress to be near higher level raw materials or lake front or in the woods. wherever you want. I got the wish machine early and got luck and drew a purple level assault rifle that wrecks everything but even still gun play is great the way you can stay in 3rd person or move into the scoped view for precision. They've added more servers that are hard levels and more pvp, added dlss support. constant updates and fixes- they're actually listening to the community.

After 150 hours. It's very beautiful, the sound atmosphere is excellent, the pets are fun. The game is very complicated, the quest management interface is poorly explained. In fact, it's not an MMORPG, you don't meet another player every day, there is a reset at the end of each season that makes you lose your house, money, map and discovered areas and you have to start all over again while keeping your weapons. To this day I still haven't been able to upgrade one, too complicated and very difficult. The lifespan seems 200 hours unless you like going around in circles.

I enjoyed the early playtests well enough, but the single biggest drawback to this game is the 6-week "season" resets. Being forced to start over so often means nothing has any value, and so, the game feels entirely wasted. I know Rust does the same thing, but Rust also has ways around it. This does not. It's a big enough issue that I feel Jake should have mentioned it too.

There are way around if from what ive heard. A lot of your items don't reset for example: cosmetics, blueprints, rare resources, your house "blueprints" are saved so all you have to do is hit a button to bring your house back after reset. When I heard the game had resetting every 6 weeks I was shocked any dev thought that would be a good idea... but when you do more searching and realize you actually get to save all the important stuff it actually makes more sense... i wouldn't count it out just for that, plus the devs have already said they are open to changing that based on how the community feels about it.

I don't agree with few points mentioned in this review, I enjoyed playing this game to level 21 solo without spending any money, most games lack this kind of creating, leveling, looting. I was very surprised that this game had few features that's lacking in recent most games, specially on building/moving house. At the moment I am exploring and doing main story, not much of a story but content is great. But I do wounder what's next once I am done exploring whole map and story. I find this game way better than first descendant on leveling, exploring and grinding.

I understand not liking the game but it's definitely not designed in a way to get you to spend money at least not currently. There arent that many currencies. I played Lost Ark and BDO a little bit and they were ridiculous with currencies. Once Human has been alright with mostly just your typical survival resources you collect. For f2p I've been surprised how satisfying combat can feel and how intricate house building is. I'm only like 7 days in but it has been fun with zero pressure to buy anything. It's all cosmetics in the shop similar to LOL or Fortnite. Not saying they won't go p2w greed mode later but atm it's generous and non predatory. For that reason I'm gonna buy the battlepass even though there's nothing interesting in there to me. It's definitely underrated. I dont love some content being time gated but I get it. Calling this game soulless is wild though. For f2p it's underrated.

This might be the first time I disagree with Jake, I am actually enjoying this game a lot, in the 3 days that I have been playing it, I already lost the track of time twice (it would have been three times was it not for my wife jaja) and that has not happen to me with any game, in a very long time. Sure there are microtransactions, and season pass and all the GaaS crap, but without any of that, you can still get actually pretty good loot, and I personally don't feel the game to be too grindy, for example, every resource node gives you a pretty decent amount of resources, and even more with upgraded tools (unlike Subsistence where you need to chop 1M trees for a foundation and two walls). Is not flawless in anyway, it can be a bit janky, buggy and what not, but I have not had any single game breaking experience (aside from a few T-Posing or sliding character, which some times happens in online games, so is not that bad). I do agree with jake, in that there is a lot of lore and background story and what not, but I am not that into that, so personally i am not affected by that. I love that I can play PvE, which means I don't have to worry about random players ruining the experience for me. The game does have a ton of content, and that is both good and bad, good because there is a toon of stuff and exploration bad because it can be a bit overwhelming.

The fact that they are intending to do six week wipes, with every new 'season' pushing the story forward inch by inch, is what killed it for me. If I have to go through the tedium of re-leveling and re-farming materials every six weeks just to get one new mission worth of story content? Well, I don't have that kind of time, and it's too quick a cadence for devs to put out good, non buggy work. Especially when they still need to bugfix and optimize so much as is. Which is a shame, because I really enjoy the core gameplay and exploration. This game has potential, but needs to pivot on how it moves forward or it's not going to get nearly as much traction as it needs.

I've been spending a lot of time in this game and have been really enjoying it, ESPECIALLY if you compare it to something like First Descendent. First Descendent is a game created entirely to push microtransactions and has every manipulative anti-consumer practice in the book in it's "game", as I've been describing it to people, "First Descendent is a Nexon game, through and through." Comparatively, the live service side of Once Human is incredibly light and not forced on you, it's pretty easy to progress (Maybe even too easy), and at no point have I ever felt like any of the microtransactions are necessary. A good demonstration of their take on this is that you can buy the "big skin" in the shop right now with the EXACT amount of currency you can buy, so you can buy that, and just that, unlike First Descendent, where you are forced to either always buy way too much or multiple bundles because everything conveniently costs slightly more than the lowest amount of premium currency you can buy. The charm of the game I can understand won't be for everybody, it does have some pretty rough edges, but me and my friends have been having a blast with it anyways. It wasn't actually brought up in the video, but I see a lot of people complaining about the "seasonal wipes every 6 weeks". Those people should probably read about how the seasons actually work, because a lot of people are spreading misinformation about it, so much so that the developers just earlier today released an announcement (again), explaining seasons and how they work. I was just as skeptical, so much so, in fact, that I originally was going to write the game off before release because of the "wipe every 6 weeks" thing... I read up on it and it's not nearly as bad as everyone is making it out to be, you keep pretty much everything that's important, and you have your own personal "Eternaland" where you can keep all your goodies, you can even bring some of those goodies with you into new seasonal servers for a jump start. It's very similar to how PoE or Diablo 4 handles seasons, where there is an "Eternal Realm" where you have permanent progress, and then seasonal servers where you play through a new experience. Unlike the 2 games I just mentioned though, you DO actually get to bring some stuff from the "Eternaland" with you into each new season. But I can't do the whole thing justice in a youtube comment section, so I strongly encourage people to look into the developers actual description of seasons before jumping to conclusions.

Other Notable Currencies: Cosmetic Tokens: Used to purchase cosmetic items. Colorful Badges: Another currency for cosmetic items. Mitsuko's Mark: A specific currency with its own uses. Starchrom: Used for upgrading equipment and other purposes. Silver Keys: Can be used to open specific chests. Astral Dewlets: Another currency with specific uses. Astral Sand/Astrealite: Related to astral-themed items and activities. Stellar Planula: Used for character progression and upgrades. Lightforge Metal: A crafting material. Sproutlet: Another crafting material. Fish: Used in specific game mechanics. Formula Blueprint Fragments: Used for crafting blueprints. Warband Credit/Fund: Related to clan or group activities. Renaming Card: Allows you to change your character's name. Chrysalis Token and Butterfly Dye: Used for cosmetic purposes.

IDK I disagree with this take. My wife and I have been playing together for about 20 hours now and there have been multiple puzzles and things that we've really appreciated. I think it is a nice breath of new ideas in the MMO space. I think about going home to play every day and I haven't felt that way about a lot of games that cost me way more. Not to mention, never once have I felt like they were pushing me to buy anything. Hell, all the currency and stuff you can get from the battle pass is on the free track. The paid is 100% cosmetics. That's pretty cool in my opinion as a consumer. We've spent 20 hours in maybe 1/20th of the map and are already over leveled for that area, but want to see wht the next side quest has to offer. We've tried to save someone's disabled friend as she ran to get him medicine from a nearby hospital, we've found a torn photo of two brothers looking out for each other who got separated and killed apart, we've looked into a kid's memory of him swiping all these ID cards from the big baddies to hide treasure, and have found tons of cool treasure maps...

I've put a couple of days into Once Human and it has surprisingly held my interest. The best building is pretty solid and it comes with two massive quality of life benefits; crafting pulls from storage and you can relocate your base fully intact without needing to tear it down. The quests are almost Ubisoft level of schlock but I ended up so over leveled that I've been plowing through them when I need a break from harvesting resources and crafting. The Deviations, your Pals basically, are very handy for the ones that do stuff around your base like gathering ore or wood. I honestly forget to use the combat ones. They are helpful but... nothing has been a challenge yet. I'd recommend a try as I don't feel as negative about it as Jake did. As more people play it I think it will gain a bit more soul.

I was forced to get Diablo 4 for my gf. I kid you not I felt less pressure to buy anything from Once Human that is free than a game I paid for. For all the hate this game is free and I played 2 days ago and I want to go back. Sure it's live service and all and I can understand not liking that but honestly give it a try. if I play for 100h I'll most likely buy something NOT because I felt pressured but to support them. Seriously I got no pop ups, nothing on the interface that is flashing as a constant reminder that there are deals or anything. You have to press esc and go down to like events that expands to show shop. It isn't even the main header, it's a submenu, that's how little I was forced. The part that I worry about is them changing this model if it isn't profitable or they get greedy, this is the part we should worry about. Right now they are doing it right. How do we prevent them from changing it since its a live service. With that I will wait a while before paying them.

Levels only really matter for crafting, as with levels you unlock some crafting stuff and you specialize your character. Leveling up isn't really a grind tbh, it's getting blueprints for cool gear that's the main thing and you get to keep those after the wipe. So in general wipe is pretty much a way for developers to introduce new stuff for old and new players without making the new players start with a new character just to play through new early game content. I think it's a good system if done properly because it can make new and old players want to play the game.

You don't get hard reset as well, you get to keep the valuable things you've earned. What resets is just basic level and skill tree that isn't hard to gain at all, it doesn't feel tedious. As materials/items you find in the world, there's a system called Eternal land which makes up for the "reset" you don't lose progression. This game is amazing and its the best for me and ive played many games but this is definitely one of those to give a shot if you like base building for sure
