They released a new small dlc wonder pack free until may 10th, just thought I'd point it out to the 5 of you that own the game.

I see this game is 80% off on steam. Any good at all? Anyone recommend?
It's actually not that bad. It's better than Civ 6 but not as good as Endless Legend. The continuous culture swapping mechanic just feels... Off. You never really feel like you're building a nation like in Civ or EL.

Definitely worth it on sale, especially at 80% off.

The AI is retarded and to make up for it, it cheats. Which also applies in Civ basically.

It's not good imho. I played a few games and the refunded it. Zarniwoop isn't wrong, it's not like you loose much at 80% off but then again you can play a lot of better games that are most likely cheaper or you already have. Or in other words, just stick with Civ, it's better in any imaginable way. (-VI haven't played that one)

The complete edition of this is available through Humble Choice. Not that I'm subscribed because they have terrible payment options. Either way, it doesn't seem like they ever truly fixed the game.

You don't want to be part of the HUMBLEKIND? How regressive of you.

So Humankind Definitive Edition is available on Steam for like fifty bucks until January 30, is it worth it?

The game is utter shit and I really thought it could have been decent despite the woke presentation, it is not. not at all. Lying on the floor looking at the ceiling is more entertaining, just avoid, like the plague.

For 50? How is that a discount? Fuck no.
It was like 350 BRL the entire game, 50 BRL is a discount.

Yes. At 85% off it's worth it. But it gets boring in the endgame, like the old Civs did.
What about before the end-game?
It's a lot like Endless Legend but with better graphics and humans.

Lots to do early on but as you become powerful, eventually the game just plays itself and you click end turn over and over and over again because no one can make war or expand any more due to dumb city limit. Endless Space suffers from this a little too but it's much worse here.

In the beginning it's very close to Endless Legend levels of fun. Especially on your first few playthroughs.

Ummm... Endless Legend sucks though. :lol:
This is the worst endorsement ever.
