Does that giant bus monster have...legs? It’s just one of the freakish threats in the sprawling survival game Once Human. Here’s what to expect as you try to thrive in its unfriendly open world:

Tentacled creatures tearing through the sky. Towers emitting hallucinogenic waves. Danger is everywhere after an alien substance transforms life on Earth into terrifying Deviations. As a Meta-Human, you’re one of the few who can handle these foes.

You’ll need to be resourceful to stay in one piece. Cut down trees, build structures, and craft weapons as you explore long-abandoned towns for hints about what happened. And don’t forget to stay nourished to keep hunger and hydration meters in check.

Roam the expansive map as you play through the storyline solo. Join forces with friends to fight off strange beasts. Or dive into treacherous resource battles in competitive PvP matches. This world might be barren, but it’s never boring!
