There's no question that Too Human is about as ambitious a project as any studio has undertaken in the last decade. It's gone through more revisions and platform shifts than is probably healthy or cost effective, but it's finally coming out the other end of the development pipeline. What's more, Too Human is surprisingly single-minded in its dedication to the dungeon crawling RPG genre. Despite a mainstream-friendly, chocolate coated hack-and-slash shell, the chewy caramel middle of the game is Nordic mythological role-playing – and it's something that clearly Denis Dyack's Silicon Knights is passionate about.
The game gets so much right – the setting, scale, depth, story and the multiplayer. However, as the game nears its August release date, it's definitely not perfect. Here are IGN's top 5 points they want to see sorted out before Too Human reaches shelves in its final month of development.
The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
Fun fact: I'm one of five people to have completed Too Human and actually liked it. It should be noted that the other four ended up in mental institutions....sadly.
I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD
I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out
It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.
i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards
Yeah, it had a solid story and game mechanics. I remember the controls weren't smartly implemented, and every time you respawned, the animation was so long.
I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it
Me and my friend beat it so many times. I got the best armor mathematically possible in it. Great game imo but their needed to be more tutorials on how runes work. The one that spawns singularities upon hitting someone was cash.
I beat it too. The controls were weird, but once I got use to them it was okay. I found the story to be actually half decent. Too bad there wasn't a sequel because I really believe if they have fixed the issues the first game had(controls, camera, etc), it could have been a great series.
I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.
Fun fact...you're actually one of six :) That game was the reason I kept an Xbox 360 running until they released the very last B/C titles and it was among them.
I thought the game was ok, clunky but ok. Every time I go back to play it though it takes 20 minutes for the controls to 'click' again. Pity most of the advanced combos and controls aren't listed anywhere in the game.
Liked not loved. It's like a cheap dominos pizza it's not great but it's serviceable if your starving
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
i really enjoyed it when it came out.
It was free recently on xbox through BC. Id love to see this revived but sadly i think the legal issues would stop that
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.
Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
I've seen a ton more ambitious games this year alone.
the moto of these droids at ng4 and neogaf is to ignore all major site preivews and focus on a blog preivew haha buy wired blog hahaha they fail too human wll be ebtter than most ps3 ezxclsuive this year.
this game is going to fail critically but I wonder what it will sell
Looks like they need to fix the camera and this game will be fit for a king.
With this launching in the same week as Lego Batman, Too Human will not get to #1 in the charts.
