Too Human

About

You play as Baldur a cybernetic warrior worshipped as a god in a world where machines hunt humanity. The game mixes third person shooting with close quarters brawling letting you switch between guns and melee attacks to crush robotic enemies. RPG elements include upgrading Baldur’s abilities and managing limited resources while navigating a story driven by cutscenes and environmental storytelling. Combat is fast paced but clunky at times with a focus on over-the-top set pieces. Released in 2008 this Xbox 360 exclusive sparked polarized reactions. Critics called it ambitious but technically flawed with a plot that leaned heavy on convoluted sci-fi concepts. Player reviews note the satisfying co-op and chaotic online modes which let you team up or turn on allies for chaotic fun. While its reputation hasn’t aged smoothly fans of retro third-person action games occasionally revisit it for its audacious style and frenetic battles.
