I rear-ended a mammoth, and the game let me
I rear-ended a mammoth, and the game let me. I was a Civ player. No, a Civ fanatic. Through all its weird AI decisions, broken mechanics, and constant DLC ransom notes, I stuck by it. Because it was Civ. Then I played Humankind, and suddenly, everything made sense. Claiming territory is logical. No more border gore where some rogue settler wedges a city between your well-planned empire like a bad Tetris move. You claim land, expand naturally, and your cities grow as part of the territory, not as weird, isolated dots on the map. The whole process—from hunting and foraging in the early game to skirmishing over land without diving into full-scale war—feels organic. You experience the evolution of your people, rather than just clicking “next turn” until someone nukes Gandhi. And let’s talk about the personality. This game knows it’s a game. It doesn’t take itself too seriously—until it does. You’re having a great time, expanding, feeling clever… and then suddenly, your ambitious little border clash turns into an existential crisis. It has humor, but it also punishes hubris. Think you’ve got it all figured out? Congratulations, your neighbor just turned into an unstoppable war machine because you underestimated them. And the combat? Rear-ending a mammoth isn’t just an option—it’s a tactic. Flanking, blocking escape routes, ambushing—it all matters. No more mindless unit stacking. Battles are mini-strategic puzzles that feel earned. I started playing Humankind out of spite for Civ VII. I haven’t stopped playing since. It’s the first 4X in years that made me want to start over again and again—not to “optimize” a build, but because it’s just fun. Civ and I had a good run. But, hey… it’s time we saw other people.

Frustrating more than fun
This game has a great potential, but it lacks bugfixes for bugs reported years ago, balance, the pace of the game. The AI is AU - Artificial Unintelligence. The addon with embassies and world congress is plain terrible, on my next games I will completely disable it. In general I would recommend it if the issues mentioned above were fixed, but unfortunately - on the current state of the game - I do not.
