Too Human would be a severely underwhelming game even if it weren't for its ten-year-long development or its outspoken creator. Awkward combat, a braindead camera and a laundry list of bad design choices make this title plainly mediocre. There's a solid game buried beneath it all, and determined gamers may find something to like here, but everyone else should steer clear of Too Human.

The tale of a hammer-wielding space-Viking that’s not quite to our liking

Aug 19, 2008

A decent online RPG or dungeon crawler is still something of a holy grail for the 360 – and consoles in general for that matter. So our hopes for Too Human have been understandably high. ...

Too Human

This one doesn't want to be boxed into a genre

Feb 15, 2008

Since that ill-fateful, frankly disastrous E3 video there’s not been much revealed about Too Human - a game that, for a long time, has had bad news written all over it. Burdened by an ever-increasing development time and a stack of ‘issues’, it’s become an unkempt black hole; swallowing vast quantities of cash and giving almost nothing in return. The only news has been Silicon Knight’s court case with Epic, and ... » Read Full Too Human preview

Too Human

More hu-man than hu-man

Jan 25, 2008

Remember Eternal Darkness on the Cube? This is what the guys behind that are doing next. An epic action-RPG full of sparkly sci-fi, evil robots and guns, spun around Norse mythology. You play as Baldur, son of Odin, a god who has to protect humanity from a crushing onslaught of machines intent on turning us all into greasy dust. Expect celestial big cheeses like Thor to pop up, too. If it sounds like a pile of hokum, dont worry - remember Eternal Darkness. They know how to rattle out a good ... » Read Full Too Human preview

Too Human: From the developer's mouth

We speak with Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack

Dec 4, 2007

Dec 4, 2007 Recently we had a chance to sit down with Denis Dyack, founder of Silicon Knights, and got some choice tidbits about his game thats been a looooong time coming. Too Human has been on the cards forever… but what is it, exactly? Dyack: Its a fusion between action and RPG. Weve not seen any other games quite like it to date in the industry, and it is why the game is hard to describe. Just imagine a game with deep skill trees, class systems, loot drops within action-orientated ... » Read Full Too Human preview

Too Human

Baldur might be the Norse god of innocence, but he sure knows how to kick an ass or two

Oct 15, 2007

Oct. 15, 2007 If you've seen footage and screenshots of Too Human up to this point, chances are you got the impression that it's a traditional hack-and-slash action game, perhaps with some light RPG elements. The difference between this notion and reality could be measured in light years. We got to lay hands on Baldur himself at the developer's headquarters in Ontario, and were shocked to find a ludicrously deep RPG character development system that features five different character classes. ... » Read Full Too Human preview

The Scandinavian RPG has been Bjorn again

May 24, 2007

Hands up, if everyone remembers Too Human, that rather uninspired third-person adventure that was universally panned at E3 2006? Do all you can to forget everything youve learned about it. Seriously, untie those knots, steal one of those memory wipers from Men in Black; if all else fails, bang your head against a brick wall. Because our latest impressions wont just knock your socks clean off - theyll be blasting them off ... » Read Full Too Human preview
