HUMANKIND™

反正就是烂泥扶不上墙，又蠢又爱搞意识形态

Better than people expect. The First Era Cultures can become a bit too familiar though. Also I recommend the 14 era stars mod on standard speed for the most consistent game.

Every once in a while somebody tries to re-invent the immensely succesful Civilization formula, especially since the Civilization-games themselves seem as plagued by questionable design-choices as their eager clones. Humankind is one of those games, using the particular flavor of 4X formula most associated with Civilization. You settle your nation somewhere, you build/expand your first city, you recruit units to scout, units for warfare, units to settle or conquer more cities, you research technologies progressing through the ages, and shape the culture and religion of your nation. The goal is to out-compete your neighbouring nations who do the same. Usually you play as one civilization, it has a flavor, a name, a style. In Humankind, you progress through different civilations in ages, which are discrete 'big' milestones in history. You make yourself eligable for this advancement in age, by reaching smaller milestones, such as having a certain amount of units, or territories, or technologies. There are a bunch of possible ways to qualify for advancement, which is a good thing as it doesn't force you into a specific style of playing. You might start as the Babylonians, but then become Roman, or Han, or various other options in the next age. This change will alter bonuses, buildings and style, as you adopt the new civilization you've chosen. Thus you march on through history, sort of. It's an innovative choice within the genre, sure. But it's also what I dislike about it. I don't feel connected to my civilization anymore. I no longer feel like I'm playing as somebody, more like I'm some kind of opportunistic chameleon. I find myself going through the motions of gameplay, and sure my cities build stuff and my units occasionally fight stuff. The pacing feels off too, I've hardly done some expanding and dealt with the unique opportunities of my current civilization, or the next age is already on my doorstep and I need to choose if I advance or not. I can hold off, of course, but only one 'player', human or AI, can pick a certain civilization in the next age so delaying comes with the risk of having your choice snatched away from you by somebody who advanced before you did. But I just don't care. I just don't feel it, because next age I'll be somebody else and lose my name, my flavor, access to unique buildings. Last playthrough I waited because I wanted to build a few more unique buildings before I lost access, and an AI picked the civilization I wanted next. And it didn't even bother me, I didn't feel challenged, or annoyed that I lost something. I just felt disinterested, like it didn't matter anyway because I probably wouldn't even be those people in the next age. So I just turned this game off again. Sorry, Humankind, it was a good try.

Honestly executes on the civ/culture switching much better than Civ 7 ended up doing. Ultimately ended up really liking the game, the combat especially is fun. If you like 4x games is definitely worth trying.

Honestly one of my favorite strategy games of all time. I know some people rather dislike the different era's and how that whole mechanic works. But personally, I think it's awesome! It allows you to add some variety to your gameplay, though you are more than welcome to stick with a single culture the entire game if you so wish (which I have done on occasion, and is definitely fun). I am eagerly awaiting a sequel someday, and I know I will sink at least as many hours into that one as I have this!

全靠同行衬托

还可以，玩过文明7回来玩这个就挺能接受时代更迭机制。个人比较喜欢的机制是近代开始建立的新城市可以无需建造以往时代的建筑，省了不少时间，但这又反映出来设计的建筑类型有点冗余。

Personnaly I think most of the bad reviews are because it's a "civ ripoff" but it's honestly really fun, the era's are really good and fit together well, the bonuses you get from each culture and how you keep the buildings with bonuses from each era makes the game feel like you're not pushing the culture aside with each new era but like it's part of your civilization's past.
