INTEL FROM THE FIELD

What critics and survivors say about Once Human.

IGN9 / 10

“A breathtaking survival experience that redefines the genre. Once Human nails the contamination aesthetic and delivers combat that feels visceral and deeply meaningful.”

“Few games manage to balance base building, open-world exploration and live-service content this effectively. Once Human is a remarkable achievement.”

“Hauntingly beautiful and terrifyingly hostile. Starry Studio has crafted a world that demands to be explored — and punishes you every step of the way.”

“Playing co-op with my squad is where this game truly shines. The boss raids are intense and contamination events keep every session on edge.”
