It is an absolute must-play for fans of the genre and has finally knocked Firaxis off its throne as the king of the hill.Įmbracing player motivations from start to finish, Humankind refreshes the 4X genre – even with a couple of technical kinks. This is the new standard for 4X historical games. Put simply, Humankind took everything that Civilization 6 got wrong, fixed it, added some new ideas to the genre, and ended up producing the best 4X game I’ve played since Civilization 5 way back in 2011 - which, according to Steam, is the ninth-most-played game in my entire library at over 400 hours. It has truly set a new bar for 4X games, and Firaxis is going to have its work cut out for it to make Civilization 7 visible beside the bright shining star that is Humankind.

Humankind is nothing short of incredible. Customize your avatar and level up via the meta-progression system.Battles are played out as mini turn-based board games.The more famous you get, the better chances of winning the game.
