Too Human had a tough road through its development cycle and release. Beginning with major delays and issues with game engines which escalated into internet message board wars and backlash, Silicon Knights’ action RPG hasn’t received the best reception. Many people got caught up in the negative hype and didn’t give the game the credit it deserves. There are issues, but ultimately, Too Human is a fun experience with a whole lot of loot.

First and foremost, while this is an action game, there are many deep RPG elements. You will be spending a good deal of time upgrading your character’s skills, equipment, and armor. Just running through the game without making these necessary changes will ultimately lead to failure and frustration. I think this is part of the problem the game has encountered. When I first played through the demo, I didn’t go into the menus and make changes to my weapons and armor based on the loot drops my character was picking up. This meant that, while I was leveling up, my sword, guns, and armor were still of low level and not dishing out enough damage to the enemies I was encountering.
