Too Human Review
Review date: 08.09.2008
Our rating:
To be a great RPG, a game must have a deep, interactive story, full of interesting characters and an original setting. Although Too Human’s mix of sci-fi and Norse mythology is inspired, it’s given too little depth and is populated by irritating, arrogant characters that are impossible to empathise with.
To be a great actioner, a game has to have vast depth and variety in combat, but Too Human’s mix of frantic shooting and swordplay, though initially exciting, loses its appeal after a few hours of smashing-up repetitive enemies in repetitive environments. The online co-op mode introduces lots more depth and enjoyment, but the cutscenes aren’t included.
The extremely deep loot-collecting and character-upgrading will keep some players enthralled, but for many gamers, Too Human’s appeal is likely to wear off before they’ve reached the end of the entirely linear story.
