If you've played Civ, especially a modern one, you can immediately play Humankind.
The only problem is having played it now, I'm not sure I actually want that anymore.īy far the closest parallel to Humankind is the reigning historical 4X itself, Civilization. In many ways that makes it the 4X game I've always wanted, the one that's systems work in a broadly similar manner to the way they do here in the real world, that's history is aligned, systemically, with actual humankind's.
It plays like a group of very intelligent people have sat down in a room together and really thought about doing things in the most true-to-life way possible.
Everything else aside, Humankind plays like the most considered, most philosophical, most historically authentic (if not accurate, obviously) game of its kind.
