Four years after launch, Amplitude strategy game Humankind deserves another shot

Too many worthy games get lost in the noise. It’s understandable. We’ve all got big backlogs that we’re trying to work through, and new releases arrive practically every hour. But it means a lot of solid or experimental titles fall by the wayside. Humankind is a good example. Originally released back in 2021, some less-than-fanatical early user reviews meant it was quickly overshadowed by strategy genre giants like the immovable Civilization 6 and Paradox’s Stellaris. But as Amplitude confirms Endless Legend 2 is on the way, Humankind is well worth another look, especially right now. After a transformative update, it’s now temporarily completely free to play, and then available at a huge discount.
