The best graphics in horror and survival games
The technological power behind video games can now deliver some of the most gorgeous visual effects ever seen on a screen. But no, let’s get a little nasty.
Once human It has a very steep learning curve and offers many gameplay features to new players, many of which are not explained very well. It is very easy to make fundamental mistakes early in the game that players will not learn until they are quite advanced.
1 Waste of ammo
It can be expensive
It can be very tempting to drive through POIs in Once human All guns blazing. Sometimes this is something that needs to be done to take out large groups of enemies. Especially if the enemies in question are using ranged attacks or if the player is surrounded. However, this will consume ammo.

The 6 Darkest Survival Horror Game Endings, Ranked
Most survival horror games end on a high note to reward the player for their efforts, but these games are the exception.
Crafting advanced ammo is very expensive to maintain constant use of ranged weapons. It is possible to meet the demand, but this will require the player to continually gather resources to replenish ammo supplies after each session on the open world map. A much better idea is to use a melee weapon when possible to save ammo in this survival horror game.
2 Don’t harvest as you go
Resources will be needed
Some players simply prefer combat to the survival aspects of a game, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, in Once humanIt is impossible to completely ignore the crafting aspects, as the player needs to craft his own equipment in most cases.
All crafting recipes require resources and materials that are collected from the world map, such as ore and wood, or obtained from enemies and crates. Additionally, unless a player is friends with a large PvP guild, they will have limited access to fuel reserves and will need to constantly loot wrecked cars for fuel. All of this is best done during normal gameplay, by spending a few minutes collecting resource nodes and loot containers that the player finds.
3 Getting too far ahead
Slow down and get some levels
Each new area of the map is bookended by a boss encounter. These boss encounters become much more difficult as the player progresses. Therefore, the player must ensure that they have the right gear at the right level and are of a high enough level to take on the next monolithic mission on the open-world map.
It can be tempting to continue the main story without completing all the POIs in the previous map areas and without completing the side quests. Don’t do this. This additional content is what will ensure that the player has the gear and levels they need to get through the next boss fight. POIs are a great source of rare crafting materials and coins that the player will need to craft decent-level gear in the future, so they all need to be completed at 100% before the player moves on to the next area of the world.
4 Don’t bother exploring
Don’t miss the missions
The map of the world in Once human is one of the best seen in a game to date. Not only is it incredibly detailed, but there are a ton of scripted events that trigger when a player approaches them. These events often lead to great loot or result in the player receiving a new side quest.

5 Links on energy waste
Keep moving to new areas
Energy Links are a form of currency that new players can use Once human You may not understand their value at first. They are used to activate teleportation beacons for fast travel. The further the player wants to teleport, the higher the cost of energy links.

6 Losing travel rewards

Each one has a purpose
