App Store Editors’ Notes

Indepth

I’ve never played an online game where you get to build your character up like this. This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen on mobile. The customization. The building of your territory. The open world, the different environments and enemies. Like every game there are issues. Sometimes when there’s a lot of people in one boss it’s laggy. Sometimes I can’t loot crates after beating a boss. But it’s free. It’s free to play. Of course you can purchase things in the shop. But it’s absolutely not necessary. I can’t believe it’s a free to play game; it’s amazing. There’s a huge community and people team up together all the time. The world chat is always busy. There’s many different scenarios (kinda like seasons in other games but it has different phases per scenario) there’s events all the time. There’s so many tasks and different storylines to follow and finish. So much customization in character wear, and actual gear, weapons. It’s crazy. I’m obsessed. Also personally games like this on console or pc kinda make me motion sick and for some reason playing this on mobile has not. Even with all that’s going on. Most people are extremely kind and share things and tips. You can even build things in friends territories!

Finally!

You do NOT understand how happy I am to be playing this from my phone!!!! I LOVE this game so much! The only thing I have a problem with is the sound on the game the volume is all the way up but still I don't have any sound coming from the game I don't understand what's going on but I hope I can figure it out I checked everything on my phone my volume is up the mic is on the graphics are insanely amazing!!!! I was up all night playing!!! Just because I'm having problems with the sound does NOT mean any less stars the graphics are AMAZING you get to defeat bosses and craft weapons, food and even armor/clothes I'm OBSESSED with the game this is the best game ever!!! And I LOVE how you can change the hair color and add tattoos to your meta as well but I also wish there were more brighter colors and a more wider option for your hair colors and tattoos and even make up other than that it's easy to play on mobile I was confused at first but going from pc and Mobile just takes some learning!!!! You get to play with your friends and even battle bosses together keep up the amazing work! This game really is truly amazing! There is never a dull moment when playing you never get bored it's all about survival!

a great combination

i just got this game a 3 days ago, and i must say its a overall fun game, i enjoy, minecraft, fortnite, and call of duty, this game is like a combo of all three, from the graphics, to the way things are crafted, and the survival/combat gameplay. There is plenty of map to explore, and deviants ( monsters ) to kill. You start off designing your avatar, with the given options, all the way down to the way the nose bridge is! 😯After that it goes into the gameplay with cutscenes, giving a sci-fi, apocalyptic, vibe (similar to resident evil) there are missions, and bosses to fight. I could go on with the possibilities, i really enjoy the way this game is developed and i havent gotten bored yet either 😂. On the cons side, it can be a little glitchy, and have trouble fully loading until you get closer. Also the game screen, depending on your device ( i am on ipad mobile) can be overwhelming with the buttons, but honestly you can close some and figure out what they mean, they are mostly useful. Now that youve read this lengthy review, go. see it for yourself!! 🎮

Quality of life changes

Hi my name is Aaron I guy by Asis on the game , I just wanted to add I love the game a lot I do however wish you guys would make sure our community and bases stay planted permanently and I would like to see added color even if it’s just basic colors for the fashions and weapons a lot of people I mean a lot of people talk about being able to paint the weapons all black or even just painting a shoe or jacket a solid color I understand you guys have to make money and cosmetics is a. Big part of that however a few added color to most fashions would actually increase your number more I know I’m a small fry and you guys may not even oat this any kind but I play a lot of hours and I hear and know what people talk about a lot thank you for such an awesome game and more added content to perm servers we grow yall even more I bet on that even if it’s just add g a lil more extra land and like a new area and like 2 bosses something anyways that is again game is amazing :)

BEFORE U BUY

This is a mobile game. Do NOT expect a groundbreaking breathtaking console level game. I have played for ONE day and after reading many reviews it’s pretty clear that this game is fun, BUUUT. There might be some features u will not be fond of. It is a good open world and the story seems promising, the building is a bit well idk but it’s something. Kinda pointless but the CHARACTER CREATION is amazing. Want to make a bad bih with a big ahh? U can! U can admire it until u have to equip gear that covers literally everything but oh well. The combat is fun especially when u have auto fire on and rampage a city killing monsters and leveling up. You can go off and upgrade skills without being locked to a story u might not be interested in. As I said, I’ve played for one day and I’m really trying to like the game. It would be pretty sad if I don’t end up sticking with this because it is 20 GB! Drains battery quickly unless on garbage graphics (which don’t look that bad) 120 fps support. Get the game if u are looking for something fun and are a fan of character creating (with sliders) and open world rpg. Thank you -𝖕𝖎ñ𝖆🍒

This is what Ive been waiting for!!!

I have been waiting for this game to come to mobile for a while and now that it has i can tell you i am head over heels. Me and my fiancée play everynight since it has a bit of everything in it. From base building that resembles a little bit of the sims games to the farming and animals to the exploration and puzzles! Can’t forget about combat. Now for those who grew up on the mind numbing rinse and repeat mmos like pocket legends and what not this is a treat! You can cook different foods to add buffs and make the game go a bit smoother since late game gets a bit hectic but omg this game is it! I would love to talk to a developer about an idea i had that wouldn’t really add a gameplay element it would just make me really happy seeing it in game c: thank you for taking the time to read my review have a wonderful day💖

Great game, just not for mobile

Once Human is a phenomenal game on PC. I play it, spend a good chunk of change on it, and have no complaints. However, this is just not a mobile game… this game is amazing but it’s meant for consoles or PC. Just too demanding to run on a phone. I played for 10 minutes on medium graphic settings, and my phone was hot too the touch. Will probably use it on the go for small/quick in game tasks & mobile rewards. Majority of my play will be from PC. I Recommend mobile for gamers that play it primarily on PC as a mobile check in. I do not recommend this to a Mobile only gamer. ALSO, do not believe the videos in the App Store… those are not what the actual game looks like on mobile. In actuality, it’s much more low res and most modern smart phones won’t be able to handle the higher resolution settings for long. Even at max graphics settings, it is not comparable to the videos advertised as well.

The new pvp servers

Tried too hard to replicate rust and screwed it up by changing the materials requirements too much and making basically everything able to two shot you while the combat deviants are attacking thin air and meds in those servers are a joke unless already outside combat and a lot of non connected melee attacks going on so that makes you have to use bullets which idk why you had thought to change that material requirement to be so costly for just 20 shot gun rounds while making it relatively super easy to make things like a bio mass generator all that plus some more things other people are complaining about such as their dismantling machine not giving them stuff back and ive had that happen to me too for a bit and the red jelly ladies also have that slow fire attack and half the time the fire is invisible for me could be why the server that just opened up a few days ago is already dead except for maybe three people ive talked to today in chat.
