Been waiting for this title for months and it's been disappointing to say the least.

Foundation of the game is solid enough but many game mechanics feel very alpha and it's quite evident that the lovely graphics were pushed hard to gloss over aspects of the game that are severely under cooked:

- FP sessions are almost pointless. It's been shown that having a good or bad FP sessions will have very little bearing on overall lap time.

- race management is basically an ERS management game; ERS+DRS are Stupidly overpowered

- so once a driver overtakes another driver, it's rare they manage to get out their DRS zone before the next lap so you have this merry-go-round of overtakes which is terribly immersion breaking and dumb to look at.

- the AI in general isn't great.

- very little info in game on how to go about one of the most crucial aspects of an F1 Management game; designing parts

In it's current state it's very shallow.

I'm struggling to have actual fun in this game. It's pretty, has some interesting ideas but just feels like it lacks bite & character. Might need a bit more time in the oven (especially the UI, damn it's all over the place)

Will come back to Humankind in time but for now it's a 6 out of 10 because whilst not "bad" it's just not (yet) worth the asking price.
