The second best thing after getting a free video game is the possibility of trying it for free before deciding if it's the right choice for you. In most cases, this happens in the form of free trials, limited-time betas, or demos, and the latter is what occupies us today. Humankind is a 4X turn-based strategy game developed by Amplitude Studios that reminisces of Sid Meier's Civilization series, but it allows you to create your own civilization by combining up to 60 different cultures. You lead your people through several eras and get to choose a different culture on each. They will grant you some bonuses and penalties that will influence your options to develop your civilization. This system opens the door to a ludicrous number of possible combinations.
The fans of the 4X strategy genre will find familiar mechanics in Humankind, where you gather different types of resources that you have to use to expand your territory and cities. Of course, you won't be alone in the procedurally generated world of Humankind, and you will have to deal with plenty of other growing civilizations as you try to make yours thrive through the ages. Whether you choose diplomacy or the force of arms, the game offers you plenty of options and tactical turn-based battles on land, sea, and air.
Humankind is an interesting choice, but you can figure out if it's the right one for you without having to buy the game. A free demo is available on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. In the demo, you can pick from 14 different cultures, and it gives you access to 100 turns of play through the Neolithic, Ancient, and Classical eras. Even though it's limited content, it should be more than enough for you to make up your mind about buying the game.
