Other than the pretentious woke cover art for this game, Humankind is actually not that bad. I think it's better than Civilization 7. It's been several years since release so I'm curious if anyone else has changed their mind. So far, I like it.
>>
>>2297227
it's pure trash.

>>2297227
It's so boring. It doesn't feel like a 4x at all. It feels like I'm playing candy crush or something. I couldn't even finish a single game. I don't know if it's worse or better than civ6 but they're both bad.
>>
>>2297227
I've tried the free weekend twice and played less than 2 hours both times. It's not even worth 7.50.

>f anyone else has changed their mind
So you needed few years to start judging the book for something else than a cover?
Are you by chance retarded?

The game is meh/10. It suffers from having effectively one set of cultures time and again, with vast majority of cultures being not just useless, but bad. Mechanically, it's just mindless churning up more makers districts until you have half of the continent covered in sweatshops.
Tribal phase, where you move explorer/hunter unit and don't have a city yet, is the most inventive thing this game did, but everyone was too busy screeching about "muh woke" to notice (meaning they never fucking loaded the game, as this is the very first thing you play through)

tl;dr nothing special, does few new things and is too bugged and half-baked to be an actual genre changer; the fact Civ 7 copied its design is laughable
>>
It's just not a good game.
Combine that with a genuinely retarded marketing campaign and you have a radioactive product.
I still maintain that Humankind is the result of executive meddling from Sega. The entire game is just a series of checkboxes that needed to be filled, from "diversity" representation to the entirely tacked on pollution system.
It's funny because none of these things would be bad if they had actual love put into them instead of being a corporate project.

I played it on a free Xbox Game Pass account and it was so fucking boring. Dropped it like a awfully hot coffee pot.

>Anon has never heard of, "since the dust has settled" threads
Sometimes people view it one particular way for years until they finally give it a chance.

>>2297412
anon, i played it blind and thought it was boring as fuck. There is no dust to be settle here.

You mean the lowest of effort template bait threads that used to be pruned on sight before braindead zoomie trash like you infested this place?

Better question is why are there migs above?

Reddit makes baseless assumptions and does this often. Go the fuck over there you fucking nigger.
>>
>>2297520
Poles are racist and would not buy a game with niggers on the cover.
>>2297523
Poland used Migs pretty extensively, that being said they look more like F-16s which Poland also uses.

You either need to contribute to this thread or fuck off. Final warning.

I actually like the civ5 realistic aesthetic, and I still think the era's change is neat. I wished CIV7 would improve upon the idea but it managed to make it worse.

Keep yapping, zoomie.

I would've played it if it were called Mankind

Womankind

It ranks the lowest among all high profile civilization-builders.
It's not even about wokeness. No one truly gives a shit if the game is good. It's just boring as fuck and the fact that all my neighbors in any game change their cultures and names all the time just feels like gaslighting.
Even Millennia is much better.

>It ranks the lowest among all high profile civilization-builders.
Which is crazy considering Humankind is actually getting updates while Millennia was completely abandoned. You think it can be saved?

Don't care, the art might as well just be bold faced letters saying DO NOT PLAY. Honestly would play it over that. Civilization clones are a dime a dozen it seems and none of them are superior to civ it seems so why bother.
>>2297557
Only good thing to be said of poles then, if only western europeans were the same our countries wouldn't be utter shit right now.
>>
>>2298540
It's very funny that Civ VII's devs decided to rip off humankind in the same way Civ VI ripped districts from Endless Legend and then proceeded to flop like Humankind.
>>
>>2298690
Honestly? They ripping off Civ VII deadass means they finna be doing something right
>>
>>2298692
You're overthinking it. The thought process probably was:
>We ripped off districts for Civ 6 and it did pretty well! >Well, our company has been brain drained and can't come up with our own ideas anymore
>Let's just rip off Humankind since ripping off Amplitude worked so well last time!
>And we'll make the ages even more heavily stratified so an already unpopular mechanic feels even worse!

It’s not a perfect game but it’s enjoyable. Half of you are just dramatic autists and the other half of you have never actually played it.
