Fun but challenging game

While the developers are no longer around, and the hopes of a sequel are down the drain, this game still reigns as one of my favorite games. The storyline blends Norse Mythology with a futuristic robotic look and style. The gameplay can be repetitive after a while, as all melee combat is done by flicking the right analog stick towards an enemy, and your only other method of combat is shooting at enemies, which, while safer, results in an extremely boring experience, Enemies can be unforgiving at times, and will punish every mistake with heavy hitting attacks. You will more than likely die at least two or three times each level your first playthrough, which gets old fast. Everytime you die, there's an unskippable cutscene which takes a good twenty seconds to play out, and then you are dropped at the last past checkpoint with no XP loss or anything. There's no real penalty for dying, but the cutscene alone will make you dread when you see a room full of challenging enemies ahead. Customization is limitless, every playthrough will be different. The class specializations all have their strengths and weaknesses, which results in having to approach each situation differently every time you try a new class. Where a berzerker would be able to just run in and destroy any enemies, the more fragile classes will have to sit back for a bit and assess the situation to see which enemies pose the most threat. All in all, this is a great game in my opinion, and definitely deserves at the very least a try. If you enjoy Norse Mythology, or even just enjoy action RPG's, give it a try.

Great story line. Fun to play. Its kind of challenging to figure out the rune and charm system.

Too Human is an action RPG game set in a futuristic sci-fi world putting the gamer in the role of Baldur, a Nordic God. The game doesn't offer much in both story or gameplay. The developers create a world of long hallways in which you fight seemingly the same enemies over and over again. The frustrating part is that you cannot keep healing potions on your character to use later on when you actually need them. Dying becomes frequent which causes you to yell and scream as you watch a loooong cut scene of your death. There is very little forgiveness in this game either. The fighting becomes horribly redundant with a mix of ranged weapons and melee weapons with a ton of backing up as you are swarmed easily by the hordes of enemies causing you to die often. The skills you develop don't seem to do much to accent the repetitive battles. Overall, this game should have been open ended, skills that are fun to use, and with more exploration.
