Fuck This Game

Throughout this review, I'm going to use the word "game" a lot, but it's not really applicable to what Denis Dyack produced here. Too Human is really more of a soul-destroying piece of crap in softwar… Read more

That Long...For This?

A mindless hack-n-slash with unwieldy camera and gameplay

Unique, for better or for worse.

My friend and I had such high hopes for this game. I had various ideas of how it would turn out. Silicon Knights has delivered on some of those ideas, while the most important ones are sadly ignored.… Read more

Too Human is a great experience once you learn what it really is.

My Problematic Experiences with Too Human

I really was surprised that I liked it...

The reason for that is because I didn't think I was a loot drop lover. But I am, and I even finished the game in a view sittings over 1 week. That is also because the campaign I played was 15 hours lo… Read more
