HUMANKIND™

Uno dei più bei giochi a cui abbia mai giocato. Molti sono critici verso di esso, ma credo più pk all'inizio è molto complicato e quindi si tenda a gettare la spugna subito. Ci gioco con tutti i dlc tranne Togheter we rule che riconosco rovini proprio il gioco. Unico difetto: é un gioco molto pesante e che consuma pure molto, ma basta settare grafica e movimenti sui livelli adeguati per migliorare sensibilmente le prestazioni.

El juego es tremendo, fácilmente puedes meterle cientos de horas y aún sentir que no sabes nada de él sin llegar a sentirte abrumado por sus mecánicas. El apartado gráfico también es tremendo, el mejor que he visto en juegos de estrategia, el mapa se ve muy bonito pero lo verdaderamente impresionante son las ilustraciones de cada cultura + los dibujos de sus unidades emblemáticas. Sin embargo el juego tiene un problema gigante que hace difícil recomendarlo, y ese es la cantidad de bugs que hay en él. Hay bugs tan destructivos y tan obvios que parece impresionante que lleven años sin ser arreglados; por ejemplo, hay ciertos personajes con el "trait" de "To the end" como por ejemplo Napoleón, el cual hace que literalmente no puedas ganar guerras contra ellos porque ¡¡¡¡simplemente no ser rinde!!!! no importa que hayas conquistado todas sus ciudades y matado a todas sus tropas, la IA simplemente no cede y no te permite forzar su rendición. Otro error que también ocurre en la guerra es que en ocasiones durante las batallas, la IA no realiza movimientos en su turno, lo cual literalmente puede estancar toda tu partida porque no puedes avanzar de turno si no se han realizado todos los turnos en las batallas, cuando esto ocurre tengo que cargar un archivo de guardado anterior y simplemente dejarme perder para que la IA si realice sus movimientos, esto arruina un poco la experiencia cuando ocurre. Más allá de los bugs, si te gustan los juegos casuales de estrategia, y no te importa mucho la precisión histórica (el juego no busca ser ni un poco realista, lo cual a mi opinión es interesante) recomiendo bastante este juego.

Consigliatissimo a tutti gli amanti degli strategici. Il gioco si prefigge l'obiettivo di rivaleggiare con Civilization e ci riesce. Non è un semplice Civilization potenziato, è un altro gioco che secondo me lo riesce anche a superare. Gli aspetti migliori del gioco in confronto a Civilization sono la gestione dei territori e delle battaglie. Anzitutto, le battaglie sono molto più strategiche, non conta solo la posizione e forza delle unità, ma conta moltissimo il terreno e da che direzione arriva l'attacco. Le battaglie stesse funzionano a turni e possono anche beneficiare di rinforzi nel caso di svantaggio o necessità. Le città non crescono in funzione della popolazione del tempo, ma in funzione del numero di territori ad essa associati, il che rende il gioco più dinamico e competitivo con le civiltà rivali. La gestione del commercio e della diplomazia qua è sostanzialmente diversa, e a mio dire più elaborata e complessa. Si possono adottare molte strategie, dall'avere molta influenza, religione, andare tutto sul militare, o giocare pacifista. Inoltre, la possibilità di cambiare civiltà ad ogni epoca o di godere dei vantaggi nel caso si tenga la stessa lo rende molto variegato. Inoltre, se si attiva la possibilità che ogni civiltà sia unica, il tutto aggiunge anche quel pizzico di fretta nell'andare più veloce degli altri per scegliere la civiltà che si vuole. Ovviamente non è perfetto ed esistono difetti, come il fatto che sia molto più complesso sterminare un popolo a livello di dinamica di gioco. Si ottiene un grande malcontento quando l'avversario è stremato e si può risolvere la guerra, ma si decide di continuare.

One of my favorite games, and one I keep coming back to play, despite some of the things that can be frustrating, such as early game boarding boats locking your units in a fight you already won just because the AI "still has units in combat", even when they cant even touch your units. I love how replayable and diverse the game is. The different game speeds, difficulties, and map generation and size really change the way the game feels and plays. The combat system really scratches something inside my brain. Some may dislike it, but I feel like it is one of the things that makes Humankind special. I've seen some reviews complaining about the Neolithic Era being useless, but in my opinion anyone saying that doesn't really understand the game. I mean, sure, the 100-300 fame on era stars probably isn't going to win you the game, but the trait choices you get for each of them provide a substantial bonus that scale decently well into the later eras, and are worthwhile staying in the Neolithic era for a few extra turns to get. That, and also getting a ton of tribesmen through food pickups is an amazing way to get early population, and can give you quick access to the civics screen and the first two civics, which can really boost your influence (and possibly faith) per turn and help you expand territories and build religion early on. Speaking of, I love the civics page for so many reasons. For one, the Ideology Axis is interesting in that you have a tradeoff not only between the different ends which give good empire (or even unit) bonuses, but also a tradeoff between those bonuses and the extra stability on your cities from staying in the middle. I also love how you can cancel civics and realign both your Ideology axis and the benefits you get from each civic choice, which allows for your culture to adapt to your empire's needs. Also I like how having low stability in your empire makes enacting/canceling civics more expensive, as it just adds another layer of interest and intractability in each game you play. All of these things help from making culture in the game feel just like a purple tech tree, like how it does in the Civ games. Honestly the civics mechanics are probably my favorite part about the game. So many fun and interesting parts about this game to love. Highly recommend if you are into these sorts of games, 10/10

Zu Release war HUMANKIND für mich so enttäuschend, dass ich das Spiel kurzerhand auf „Ignorieren“ gesetzt und anschließend komplett vergessen habe. Während einer meiner inzwischen regelmäßig stattfindenden 4X-Recherche-Phasen bin ich dann Jahre später erneut über HUMANKIND gestolpert und habe festgestellt, dass das Spiel von Grund auf überarbeitet wurde. Also zugeschlagen, eine Runde gestartet und plötzlich waren zehn Stunden vergangen. Für mich ist das immer ein ziemlich verlässliches Zeichen: Wenn die Zeit derart verfliegt, macht ein Spiel offensichtlich vieles richtig. HUMANKIND ist heute ein deutlich besseres Spiel als noch zum Release und hat mich positiv überrascht. Wer also, ähnlich wie ich, civ-müde ist und eine pause von Old World haben möchte (beides tolle Spiele), der sollte doch mal einen Blick wagen.

Despite the fact my overall review is positive, I must preface it with this - this game is fundamentally flawed. It's biggest problem stems from it's balancing, from the way it's core mechanics interact with each other. A lot of reviewers would mention district costs as a prime example, but really, it's a lot of things. Costs of things, the way things interact - it's just... wrong. Janky. Eras and techs progress too quickly, exploration and expansion lags behind, adding territories and building punishes you, overall a lot of times something happens with one mechanic which feels wrong and out of time for other mechanics. A lot of things just don't work together right, or work opposite of the way you want them too, a lot of costs scale unevenly... and so on and so forth. It feels like it needs a lot of rebalancing and repolishing and remaking, which are sadly never coming beyong mods. Why is my review positive then? Because the game is gorgeous, first and foremost. It's style is not realistic and not cartoonish, it's subtly stylized and creates this weird, wistful atmosphere along with writing and art. UI is a bit of a novelty to get used to, but after you do it's clean and simple and nice to interact with. And just like I said about the game's style and UI, the games gameplay (as far as it works) has similar properties - it's atmospheric and inviting (while it's not frustrating you with bad interactions), it's familiar but subtly creative, trying new things and elements, When it works, it feels smooth and rich and thoughtful. I just wish it was fixed to be like that all the time. It can be compared with a beautiful jigsaw puzzle, which is actually missing pieces and contains elements of several different puzzles and a bit of a slog to get through - but halfway through pieces of it show so much promise and style.

игра классная с возможностью сделать своего правителя в отличии от той же цивилизации тут много механик как от войн так и получения аэс или ядерного оружия культура с механикой влияния классно сделано что ты его теряешь за избыток городов и войн или получать компромат на другую страну с ядерным оружием или иметь ядерное оружие из за изобилия механик которые сами по себе легкие изначально может быть трудно но игра того стоит что бы её хотя бы раз пройти
