This week Brett reviews Once Human, an MMO survival game that is a mix of Control and Death Stranding for the story. It also gains influences from The Division, Palworld, New World and many other games to make for a surprisingly compelling and engaging experience. The progression is impressive, the building is expansive, the world is fun to explore and you can jump in and out of the game with friends with no problem.
We also share our first look at Concord on PS5. It’s a new live service game that PlayStation is pushing. Firewalk Studios is the developer with veterans from Destiny. The game features a futuristic, 70’s vibe with a variety of characters in a hero shooter that feels really high-quality but doesn’t quite deliver on anything revolutionary. Will it find an audience? We’ll see when the game launches in August.
After playing the First Descendant, we decided to jump back into Destiny 2 and compare the two looter shooters. They have a lot of similarities but utlimately only one can win our time so find out which one we landed on in this episode.
Lastly, Brett reviews a game called Humanity. It’s an indie game where you guide a dog around to lead a group of people to this light in the sky. You must creatively maneuver them through the world to get to their destination. It’s ok if some falloff, they’ll come back. It’s a charming, relaxing game that’s worth trying out on Xbox Game Pass!
