Welcome back to We Play Games! Humankind is in one of the strangest places I think it could find itself in when it comes to the Multiverse. Amplitude is an Indie studio again, which means more freedom in some respects but equally we should expect probably fewer resources. It's been around for bordering on four years and hasn't really gone anywhere; why then are we suddenly picking up Humankind?
Well, to be frank, I think there's hope for the game yet. The game has a lot of problems and a lot of them are so immediate that I don't blame anyone for bouncing off of it, but hopefully some of you were attentive enough to snag it for free off of the Epic Game store in early February and, with the VIP mod, see what this game really has to offer.
The VIP modpack makes the game so much better I will literally have to send you to straight to jail. Play it so much that Amplitude has to make the #VIPpatch
