Once Human might be the first crafting game I find myself coming back to regularly thanks to solid combat fundamentals, a perfectly-tuned crafting loop, and a level of polish that’s often all too rare in the genre. The Last of Bus Once Human arguably starts off a little too rote - players create their character, a metahuman, and they’re brought back to consciousness during an attack on a laboratory that serves as a whistle-stop tutorial. It’s not wholly original; shades of red thrown against surgical white corridors has been done to death, really, but things take a turn when you stealth kill your first enemy.

Overall, Once Human’s blend of action, survival/crafting, and MMORPG-like mission design kept me entertained and happily occupied. While some of the more challenging enemies are designed around multiplayer teamwork, the majority of the game’s content is solo player-friendly. Once Human can be approached and enjoyed in lots of ways. It needs some further refinement, but Once Human’s hybrid genre approach pays off.

Fans of survival MMOs should get their share of resource gathering, combat, and building in Once Human. For a free-to-play game, it offers quite an impressive playtime to enjoy without any constrictions, and the production values are quite good overall. It can be a riot for solo players for some long hours but it gets more enjoyable in a group, and the issues that be aren’t enough to deter any player who is having fun with it. Give it a shot and the most you can lose is the time it took you to install it and play for a while. Score: 7.5/10 Pros: - Great production values for a F2P survival MMO - Really good building system with lots to delve into - Gameplay loop is solid yet familiar - Whispers system is a nice addition Cons: - Combat is by-the-numbers and average for the most - Partial season resets can be an issue - Some menus are convoluted and just too many Once Human review code was provided by the publisher.
