Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Too Human is very much a mixed bag. It combines action and role-play elements, and its characters are a cocktail of Norse gods and bionically enhanced humans.
While this mix-and-match approach to game design is creative, it's also flawed, not least in the title's seeming dislike of narrative and explanation. Going in blind, players soon discover that they are Baldur, a god with four missions to complete. Each mission involves exploring vast environments, beating up mechs and going head to head with an end-of-level boss. Ground-breaking it's not. The whole experience of playing is so patchy that Too Human is less than the sum of its parts.
