Over its three-year-plus development cycle, it's clear that Once Human has looked to the AAA scene for some inspiration, which contributes to the game's unique, melting-pot st

As previously mentioned, survival games are a dime a dozen these days, so Once Human will need to be more than just a hodgepodge of the industry's hottest games to be properly competitive.

In terms of a permanent offline mode, I think this should probably just be the norm for survival crafters going forward. A lot of people like to relax on these games. Building, grinding, farming mobs. Nightingale was rightfully criticized for being always-online during its launch, and a couple of months later the developers released a single-player offline version. But it was too little, too l
