HUMANKIND is a breath of fresh air!

There is a steep learning curve and arcane language that belies this deep and complex entry in 4X strategy.

Notably the mini tactical battles that if anything borrows from XCOM. (It puts Firaxis to shame for not having thought of this themselves first for Civilization). These mini game-within-a-game battles make city sieges considerably more interesting than in Civ VI.

If you were waiting around for Civ VII (that is 7!) from Firaxis+2K, then this game, though not without bugs and exploits, is definitely worth checking out. HUMANKIND is very much a next gen 4X strategy game.

Sega + Amplitude did the unthinkable: they reinvent the wheel in 4X strategy. And then some.

Bravo!
