A man with a vision took ten years to craft... this.
But it was no mere man.
It was a DENNIS!

    When playing in co-op, there are no cutscenes or story at any point. You just go into rooms and combat with no context whatsoever. Games had integrated multiplayer into story without cutting anything out well before this game released, which makes it all the more baffling (not that you’re missing much with this particular story, but still).

    The unfair truth is that Epic totally did what they were accused of, but where SK and Dyack went wrong is their inability to prove it technically (which should have been possible with good record keeping) and really depended on the rest of the industry to come together and help substantiate their claims. Unfortunately the rest of the industry were using the unreal 3 engine on 90% of everything and no one really wanted to build their own engine and even if features were missing, it was still the best and starting from scratch was not an option. It wasn't even an option for too human. The nail in the coffin was they lied and said they didn't use Unreal in the end when they did, which confirmed Epics counter claim and totally destroyed Dyacks credibility and nuked a floundering company with a 9 million ticket and the inability to sell Too Human for money ever again and all physical copies not sold were destroyed. :( I wanted this game to be good. I bought it day one. It wasn't fun though. The fighting wasn't fun. The levels weren't fun. The story didn't seem very interesting. I mean, in concept, the story seemed like it would be awesome. In execution, no. I wish this game could be remade correctly, even by Dyack who seemed quite passionate if not a little misguided. Just he'll need finances, and he'd have to open to suggestion.

    So, let's sum it all: -Beat em' up performed with attack commands attached to a control stick, which is not very cash money; -Camera that is uncontrollable and requires RNG to control it; -Death animation where, even if it would be replaced by Neera Li, Captain Killsha, Mothiva, Loona, Tord, Kapi, Doctor Nefarious and Schemer Razwog singing Luciano Pavarotti's "Vesti La Giubba. Ridi, Pagliaccio", it would still make me committ Titan Bomber; -Guns that are as effective as a pea shooter, yet trivializes the game; -An auto-aim that works 1% of the time and the remaining 99% is against you; -Enemies that are as smart as a Corpus Crewman walking on your Arca Plasmor's line of sight and are copy-pasted; -Glitches that breaks the game in a negative way (and let's not mention how one of said glitches makes the final boss invincible); -Characters that are uber-forgettable; -Plot that leaks more than the Titanic and requires Norse mythology's knowledge; -A cliffhanger that will never be resolved because DEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS decided "Let's sue Epic Games", without realizing that he illegaly modified the unreal engine; -And development hell whose year numbers matched Omori, Team Fortress 2 and Doom 2016, but got burnt in the oven. Huh. What a shame. Such a potential for a game, only to be brutally destroyed by someone whose ego is off the charts, leading to Silicon Knights to the void of destroyed company studios. The irony in all this, is that the design of Too Human matches with what Dennis did to Silicon Knights: abuse, making things unneccessarily hard, and being forced to do it. It's sad, as much as is symbolic.

    Another really great review! Though one really minor correction at 18:38: Jörmungandr is the name of a big monster, the World Serpent, a giant snake created by Loki and is Thor's arch-enemy. Though I do find it really funny that Baldr of all gods is the player character of this action beat-em-up game because, in Norse mythology, Baldr was a non-violent pacifist. His mother also put a spell on him that made him unable to be harmed, so this game should be way easier than it is.

Also, Balder no longer being immortal can be handwaved by the fact he’s already dead, so the spell that was put on him doesn’t work anymore. Even then, I don’t know if the spell even existed in this version, nor if the weapon that killed Balder contained mistletoe, the only thing that could kill him in the myth.

    I was tempted to comment this, if it wasn't an old video. Glad someone mentioned it. Although, slight correction to your minor correction: Loki didn't "create" the giant snake, he gave birth to it while shapeshifted into the form of a female horse (I forget the plot reason why he did that.) That's also how Hel (his daughter) and Fenris (the Wolf) was born. They were triplets. Norse Mythology is delightfully weird.

    I just beat this game, in preparation for watching this and wow. Pretty much every criticism you have with the game are problems I have with it and then some. I honestly thought I was going nuts when I was dieing over and over thinking I was doing something wrong but no, this really feels like it was balanced for more then one person and that death animation playing EACH time you die is just so infuriating its not even funny. I honestly think this game would have just been half way ok if they cut that stupid death animation (or made it skip able) and had a single player combat balance because I was kinda getting into it before the game started to become brutally unfair. The gear and rune system it has is pretty neat, even if I couldnt feel some of the extra effects armor gave, and combat could have worked with a few more touches to it but nope! Had to not balance single player, had to have that stupid death animation, two things that could have been changed to make this game far more tolerable. I also want to note that the big robots you had problems with CAN be targeted by your weapon if you jump and spam the sticks in its directions like mad, but you have to get lucky and pray you hit the robot in the place you want. Honestly when the game tossed two robots at you at once, you knew you were going to die a few times and that sucked ass. You know what the best part of the game was for me? The guide book you can buy for it. I got mine for 10 dollars canadian and it is beautifully written and stylized amazingly. I will be reading it!

    It's funny that this game was given backwards compatibility for Xbones and Series S/X, considering the recall and destroy order that went out to the game. I got a copy for free a while back, so I'm wondering if my new Series X will make it run a bit smoother than original hardware... Also, the Bionic Commando reboot is pretty decent in gameplay, I think...if you play it on PC. With the way the game's physics work, it's one of those games that kinda needs to run at 60fps in order to be good. The limits on the 7th gen consoles unfortunately hinder what could be a fun (if stupidly written) action game. I'm a sucker for grappling hooks in games, what can I say.

Best I can tell, Too Human is actually a fairly faithful reimagining of the story of how Loki tricked the blind god Hodur (or Hod) to kill Baldur, with a scifi twist. Even the part about his wife dying of grief - and his return from the Underworld at the End Times (aka. Ragnarok) is part of the Poetic Edda. Of course, that doesn't mean the plot was well explained in game, I'll take your word for it that it wasn't. But as you explained it, I could kind of nod along with events as they fit into the general mythos of Baldur, Hodur and Ragnarok. Btw, in Norse Mythology Jormungand IS in fact a giant monster. It's a snake so large that it encircles the entire Earth - it was birthed by Loki while he was shapeshifted into a female horse for some plot reason that I don't remember. That's also how Hel and Fenris (the Wolf) were born. Norse Mythology can get delightfully weird. And honestly hard to explain at times 😅

    Back in my xbox 360 days I really wanted to get into this game. I held on as long as I could, made it to the part where Loki escaped, and after that I just couldn't anymore.

    You can survive the poison by killing enemies and getting red health. It does eventually wear off after a minute or two. It is a challenge to some degree but that is the purpose of the game. Game is actually fairly easy when you have the proper armor and weapons. This is a good game and everyone should give it a shot. If you die in a stage you need to repair or replace your armor and weapons after the stage is over at the armor and weapon store. It cost money to repair the armor and weapons. I've played with many noobs that will literally run around with beating red armor for multiple stages because they don't realize they have to either repair the armor or buy armor upgrades.

    Funny enough, I heard pretty much nothing about this game. Whether if its from previews, ads, or even in retrospective. It's almost as if this game was forgotten in the back of people's minds. Even its backwards compatibility on Xbox One felt like an afterthought. But after seeing the game itself, I can kinda see why. It feels like one of those generic sci-fi games from the early days of the Xbox 360 era, like Perfect Dark Zero or some of those mech games. And as for the "using analogue stick for melee attacks" thing, it sounds like a good idea on paper, but as shown with this game and a 2012 beat 'em up called NeverDead, it feels cumbersome in practice.

    The game has true genius, but it was overshadowed by technical issues. It was unfinished, which is ironic. It had game design ahead of its time but also a huge mess of a game. It has a true cult following though. Also, it's set in the past not the future.

    Speaking of having combat on the right analog stick, the only other game I know that does that is Fairytale Fights, a mediocre hack-n-slash that was a commercial failure that caused its company to file for bankruptcy. It basically had these execution cams on screen that cover up chunks of the UI.

    This game's identity (besides being an interesting concept) is a complete disaster because the art design isn't consistent with the concept. For example, if the setting took place on earth but the magic elements were all explained by technology then the art design would probably have been a lot cooler.

Whoever thought having that unskippable death sequence was a good idea should never work in the industry ever again.

    Baldur kinda reminds me of Doc from Knack. Also I got a idea for an game (or any media really.) How about we play or follow the paws of Fenrir as he begins to plot revenge for what he calls "torment". The wolf would go around and not only gather an army but start killing the gods and godnesses as the end begins to occur. The game would end with Fenrir dying but not before killing Odin.

    yes im aware this video is almost a year old now BUT you and everyone else (just about) are bashing this game hastily about ranged weapons bad combat controls etc and dying alot to the same enemies... i wonder why... oh wait your armor is broken since almost all of them are flashing red **FACEPALMS** AND yet your using shitty pistols... dude use the commando class with rifles and your opinion will change, berzerker and commando are the best classes to play (easily) for slaughtering everything provided you built your classes correctly. Champion is a really terrible class that i never saw the point in playing because it is that bad although i will give a little respect to bio engineer and defender if you build the classes right they are absurdly op for their roles but too human i feel shouldn't of been only 2 player co-op would of been better to have 3 players for example a bio-engineer, defender and a commando or berzerker with higher difficulty options to compensate (and add more challenge) for more players provided the game had more support (intendo, sony or even microsoft) with dennis not being at the lead lol :') this game woulda been a great success with the entire game flushed out much more than how it released as i do agree with that

    Tbh the base ida of the game is not terrible tbh. But this is a mess of a game that has way to F long levels, a grind to get anything worth wile to make enemies not be a bullet spounge, terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible combat flow and useless classes. And no, adding more people don't affect the difficulty in MP. I did play this back in the day with a buddy over Xbox live. It's honestly why I did stick to it for as long as I did. As it became a meme after a bit, and it was not as brainless as playing alone vs swarms of enemies you take 5 hours to kill.
