Most people seem to be bitching about the fact that you get one character per account, can't change servers to be with friends, and can't delete the character. Lol? No idea if any of that is true.

It is a seasonal game so wipes will be a thing so they are definitely not any forever characters
JFC this idea cannot die fast enough. It only exists to create artificial FOMO.

Seasonal games exist because of non-casual gamers. Every seasonal game needs to just dump every season into a standard league so all the 2 hours to play a week people can just keep their shit and not ruin the game for the people who play 10+ hours a week.

Seasonal games exist because many developers can't come up with compelling reasons to play games long-term but the corporate machine demands dollars and engagement.

God fucking forbid that a game have a natural end. We seemed to do just fine without seasons until ~2015. Just delete your character if you need a reset. (Assuming you can, lol.)
What I really object to is having content within a season that becomes inaccessible unless you play "enough" during a particular block of time. Offer fresh ideas, great, but let me consume them at my own pace.

Seasonal makes sense for some GAS games. Its either that or continue to churn out shitty broken, undone content via expansion packs. I mean its been this way ever since Everquest back in the day. While I agree that some games can just end, this is pretty much a mmo where it cant or else it will die just like Outriders did.

The whole map gets wiped, but you can lay down your base with 2 clicks as it was in the previous season. All items you got from the previous season carry over into the new one. Season content is only cosmetics, be it clothing, weapon skins, housing items and some healing stims, but nothing that allows you to get through content quicker or be more powerful than any other person in the game.
If I'm being honest, this game is pretty damn good not only as a F2P game, but just a survival game in general. It's fleshed out well, systems work good, building and crafting is nice, mobs are very diverse, events are great. Id recommend it to try for sure.

Though I won't touch it, this is consistent with what I'm hearing.
It's not Nightingale or Enshrouded. It's a much more developed survival game than those titles. So far ahead of them in development, that no comparison would ever be made between them at all, besides to ask "is this a cash grab" like other survival titles or not.
Once Human is not a cash grab since there is no pay2win in the shop. It's been scanned and checked for pay2win and I haven't heard anything about there being any pay2win. Everything looks good if you are into the genre and want to mess around.
I'm sure there might be some seasonal boost packs or something like that added quietly later on.

There’s a ton of tiny things in this game that you don’t expect.
When you put a piano in your house, you can tune it and play it.
put down a large fish tank, fill it with fish you can go catch,
build your house and if you like it, save it as a blueprint that will auto assemble if later if you don’t want to move your main base, or use preset blueprints if you want.
it’s surprising at times I’ve come across small things like those where I’m like “well dang that’s neat” and overtime it adds up to a pretty fun experience.
this is probably the best survival game I’ve played since Valheim.

I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention. It's really fucking good, especially for free to play.
It's like all the best aspects of Rust, The Division, Secret World, and Palworld had a baby.
My only knocks so far are graphics optimization isn't the best - game looks good but runs pretty meh. And the building system has some bugs with snapping points where you have to destroy prior work to get a piece to snap correctly. It also has the "integrity" system that Conan has where things above need support from columns, walls, etc., but the game doesn't indicate that at all like Conan did.
Oh, I guess voice acting could be a bit better also, but stories in these games are always pretty average to bad.
