Would you say better than Fallout 76 ?

That what I was playing before but I am bored of that one

Well...at least in Fallout 76 I can get into the server to actually play the game, which is a huge point in its favor. I can't even make a character to try this one out because every single server is 'full'- even if it says new/low population. >_>;

Servers have hardcaps on characters created.

This is not reflected in player population on the server, however.

I won't say it is right now cause of all the errors and bugs. but its gameplay is definitely superior than Fallout 76.

The changing seasons guarantees a fresh story and atmosphere pretty much every month unlike in Fallout where it gets stale after you finish all of the quests.

The combat is pretty much the same with this game having a slight edge due to the weakspots actually being important and the Bosses having weaknesses and strengths.

The Base Building aspect is superior in this game, minus the roof building part its such a pain to try and put them up but the freedom to build whatever AND wherever you want is fun.

The social aspect of this game absolutely trounces Fallout 76, having a basic chat function is all there is to say.

Monetization this game takes the edge, everything is basically Free, there are no draconian inventory weight limits and currency limits. In F76 though you can earn premiun currency just by playing so I'll give them that.

The only thing that is an actual hindrance for this game to truly shine is the technical problems. A full week or month of polish and this game might actually be a contender for GOTY.

It bites off FO76 pretty hard, probably the game you could most easily compare it to.

The gunplay in FO76 is better. The story and voice acting (while still weak) is better in FO76, though you have less reason to encounter it as the main story and questing is pointless to do in FO76, in Once Human it's more important to do quests.

The base building is better in Once Human, both games it's pretty weak compared to other survival games though.

The world is better in FO76, Once Human is filled with copy and pasted buildings and assets all over. You'll have deja vu before leaving the first zone.

FO76 you'll see other players more often since everyone's hopping to events. Once Human people mostly ignore the events except the one big event which can have up to 40 people though I've yet to see more than 24 there.

FO76 has a better interface, less menus and nonsense to go through. Better storage management.

Once Human was clearly designed with mobile gaming in mind. Click to accept rewards in 100 different menus to feel like you're achieving something! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2luhwy3KAE0

Both have limits on what you can sell to NPCs, Fallouts resets daily while Once Human is weekly but with larger amounts of what you can sell.

Overall I think both games are lackluster.

no but I like both. I think it does some things better and some things worse. Overall pretty similar. My biggest gripe with fo76 is just that its infinitely less ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you have fo1st which i dont wanna pay for anymore. It's still playable with out it you just have to play tetris sometimes instead of grabbing everything you see, overall not a horrible thing, I just don't like it overall.

Agree with Red Death.

Ok cheers,
So maybe I should just hold off a while and check back in a few weeks?

What else could I play? I am not a huge PvP fan

If you want survival (and don't exactly want a ton of mods to make it a somewhat existent PvE experience): Conan Exiles, Palworld, probably a lot else that doesn't come to my mind.
If you want my personal opinion:
I do like the general design of Once Human, but overall it's more or less of the same as most other survival games - what it absolutely got speaking for it is that it's free 2 play and that there are a lot of people on the same server in comparison.
What doesn't really speak for it (currently at least) is the bugs that require a 50fps lock (high temp bug/crashing) as well as wipes every 6 weeks (devs already mentioned that they're aware of some people not wanting it but they don't know yet if they will (or at least when they will) add persistent servers).

In every way imaginable. Just look at Starfield. Bethesda has become a company that delivers the minimum viable product instead of the feature-rich open worlds they once did.

"Has become" oh boy... another one on the hate train that willingfully ignored how bethesda works for almost 2 decades, want me to destroy your world view? Skyrim is a downgrade to previous entries.
Can we stop that stuff now and write down actual reasons why you'd think so? Preferably using the nowadays version of FO76 in comparison to make actual points as to where it is so people that wonder know.

They are both fun but I am enjoying this more at this time. The big thing you would have to consider is that since this game is new, there still is nowhere near the same amount of content as 76 right now. Also, what you will be doing in the story is pretty much copy pasted from one zone to the next.

That being said, what breaks up the monotony is the overall amount of exploration and the difference is the way each location is designed and the side content available. The content IS gated as that is how the game works. Evey week a new part of the story unfolds so you can. Only progess so far each week.... for now. And of course you will have to deal with wipes.... for now. Assuming they don't change that part.

Personally, I'm having a blast and I will be continuing to put my time here.

And your entire work won't get nuked in 6 week rotations like this game. Maybe more of my old steam friends will join, hopefully, even persistent or community servers to help lighten official server load and mod support years down the future.

There's a lot of survival games on the market. Valheim, Don't Starve, Grounded, Sons of the Forest are some of the ones that don't specifically focus on PvP.

ARK, Conan Exiles and Rust have PvE servers but really are designed around fighting other people.

To go in the complete opposite direction there's Palia, no combat at all, very very light survival elements like making food and smacking trees. It is also free.

And there's always Minecraft, you can make that game as hardcore or as casual as you want by just finding the right modpack. Hell you can even play Pokémon in it.

Soulmask, Bellwright and Enshrouded look interesting but I haven't picked them up yet and can't rightfully suggest them when I am ignorant to them. I should probably be playing one of those instead of Once Human, but I'm in too deep, can't stop now!
