    Humankind provides a solid foundation for the historical strategy genre with a unique twist, but the Stadia version may not be as feature-rich as other PC versions.

    Pretty, smart, superbly set to music and intelligent in its mechanics of mixing cultures, these are many qualities that we can recognize in Humankind. While it does not avoid the pitfalls of many 4Xs, with parts that sometimes drag on or balance issues, it remains a refreshing take on the genre, which can be a nice gateway for newcomers. The veterans, for their part, will certainly perceive the shadow of Civilization which hangs a little too intensely over the aura of Humankind, but they will undoubtedly appreciate its originality and the multiple tactical approaches, for parts which they will follow without displeasing. . Humankind is undoubtedly a game that will gain depth and longevity over time, Amplitude being known to be attentive to community feedback and take care of the follow-up of its games.

    I don't dislike Humankind – far from it. But as the sun sets on my attractive empire, I'm not that impressed with it either. It certainly has some strong ideas, and the diplomacy system, at least in theory, is excellent. I loved the flexibility of being able to specialize in something different with each new culture I adopted. But especially against the passive and tactically inept AI, I kept feeling like I'd rather be playing Civ 4, or Civ 5, or Civ 6. To be fair, if this were a Civilization game, that would almost be expected – they've each come out in a state that was a bit underwhelming compared to where their predecessors ended up after multiple expansions. And maybe with time and DLC, Humankind will stand alongside the best of them as well. For now, it's an intriguing, though not always excelling, offshoot of a time-tested formula that succeeds at making me want to keep clicking one more turn…

The game lays an excellent foundation and if it continues to receive updates and DLC I think it has the potential to be my favorite 4x game!

    There are certainly some things that could use improving, but based on what I've heard from the devs, this is a passion project for them and they are committed to making it great.    … Expand
