Right analog stick combat system offers minor variation.
Precious little differentiation in enemies, environments and combat tactics; too much loot trivializes drops; poor graphical performance.
Too Human is a treadmill. Lots (if not most) games are, but the failing of Too Human is that it doesnt mask its ceaseless procession of incredibly similar gameplay with either a unique narrative or anything else that might draw your attention away fro...

Abstract: The potential saviour of the exhausted epic action (hack-and-slash RPG, if you prefer) genre could soon be upon us. The 3D action RPG creation known as Too Human has been in development off and on for almost ten years, believe it or not. It first appea...
Abstract: When youre thinking up ideas for the setting of a new action RPG game, a cybernetic future based around ancient Norse mythology has got to be pretty far down the list. Dont get me wrong, the combination is definitely intriguing and strangely appeal...
