Too Human Get it now!


Pros
-Plot weaving Norse mythology and technology together. Everything from the Aesir (Cybernetic Norse pantheon) to the enemies (Robotic goblins, elves, and trolls).
-Graphics are detailed and high quality, however...

Cons
-Control scheme is a huge let down. You use the right control stick to 'aim' Baulder at enemies to attack them. Double tapping the control stick in one direction can perform combos and special attacks. On paper I'm sure it sounded good, in practice it is punishingly difficult to use.
-Extremely repetitive. Kill baddies, run to sell/buy gear, kill more baddies.
-Does not scale difficulty well. Are we sure Baulder is a god, because he dies a lot.
-The Death Scene is entirely too long. As other reviewers point out the death scene is drawn out and not needed.

A lot of you are asking why I would give a game 3 stars if it has this many flaws. Check the price tag. When I bought my copy it was $9.94 and I was getting free shipping because of buying a second item. I never expected this game to blow me away. To everyone who bought it when it was a $50+ game: I am SO sorry. Really, I am.Get more detail about Too Human.
