Lets talk about their privacy policy:
https://protocol.unisdk.easebar.com/release/latest_v475.html
Over-collection of Personal Information and security risks: The policy collects a wide range of personal data, including sensitive information like government-issued IDs, which is typically excessive unless specifically required by law or for a legitimate purpose. Collecting and storing extensive personal and sensitive information like government IDs, credit card details, social media data, and communication history poses significant security and privacy risks. They also list numerous third-party recipients of personal information without specifying how these parties will handle the data.
Lack of Transparency and Purpose Limitation: It's unclear why such extensive details are needed for "correction of personal information." Transparency about data collection purposes is crucial for users to understand why their data is being collected. There's also little to no mention of user consent or control over their data. GDPR and similar regulations require clear consent mechanisms and user rights, such as the right to access, correct, and delete personal data. While it mentions consent in some contexts (e.g., marketing), it's unclear how users can exercise control over their data, such as accessing or deleting it. GDPR and similar regulations require clear mechanisms for users to manage their data. The policy also doesn't specify how long different types of data will be retained, which is essential for users to understand their data lifecycle and rights regarding data deletion.
Legal Basis and Justification: Although the policy mentions legal bases for processing personal data (e.g., legitimate interests), it does not elaborate on how these bases apply to specific data processing activities, which is crucial for compliance and user understanding.
TLDR; this privacy policy is problematic because it lacks clarity, transparency, and appears to over-collect personal information without sufficient justification or safeguards for user privacy. regularly, privacy policies should prioritize user consent, data security, limited data collection, and clear communication of data usage purposes.
Personal peeve:
You also cant claim closed beta rewards on steam unless you download their NetEase spyware launcher. This was never stated during the closed beta, I would say I wasted nearly a hundred hours on the closed betas just to get smacked in the face with a "due to limitations" account linking bs that was never mentioned before, all to get me to download their launcher. Dont risk your privacy as an individual. Stay away.

The Good:
1. Creature Design: Once Human features brilliant creature design, including spotlight-headed phantasma haunting eerie corridors reminiscent of games like The Division 2 or The Last of Us. These unique designs add flavor to the experience.
2. Idiosyncratic Moments: Unexpected encounters, like stumbling upon a small robot furiously drubbing the road, inject oddness and creativity into the game. These moments make Once Human intriguing.
The Not-So-Good:
1. Familiar Mechanics: The third-person combat and survival crafting mechanics aren’t groundbreaking. They feel like a 6/10 third-person shooter from a decade ago.
2. Live Service Baggage: The game suffers from live service obfuscation, complex menus, and resource management. Replacing a simple baseball cap becomes a convoluted process.
Verdict: Once Human isn’t a flawless gem, but its creature design and quirky moments elevate it beyond mediocrity. If you’re up for exploring a world with haunted fridges and peculiar robots, give it a shot!

I ignored a lot of the negative reviews here assuming that they were just fearmongering, however, since installing this game, I've noticed 2 new mysterious apps in my startup programs (Which have been disabled now) that have no file location. So this game gets a negative review for making me fear now for my PC's security after installing it (It has been henceforth uninstalled).
EDIT: I've received comments on my profile asking what these files are and how to remove them. The startup files are a single digit number, and a string of hexadecimal numbers/letters.
Now apparently these are non-malicious are are just it keeping track of your installs of their programs and your ID on their systems, but it's done in a super suspicious way so, for people like me who are worried about having this stuff on your computer, I got rid of it by doing a full system restore of my computer to before I'd installed Once Human.
You can apparently also get rid of it at in file explorer at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
by deleting the AF_Counter and AF_uuid, but that path didn't lead anyway for me when I tried it, but if it works for you, great, and apologies for not adding this addendum sooner.

UPDATE: After further research I finally figured it out. Someone at Starry Studios messed up or just doesn't know any better.
Those two startup entries are for analytics tool called AppsFlyer. It's commonly used marketing analytics tool to track installs/uninstalls of mobile games. I don't know why they included it in PC release and why are those entries not written in game registry as they should be, but at least now I can rest easy knowing what's up.
What do those entries actually do? One tracks how many times you launched the game, the other is unique ID assigned to your device. That's it.
There's nothing to worry about.
I won't change my review to positive just yet tho. I don't understand why I had to learn all of this thru other sources. There was no reason this couldn't have been explained in developer response.
Nah, there are zero reasons why this game should write startup entries to my registry.
I have no idea what those entries are doing, devs are not disclosing anything and when called out in reviews they respond with copypaste corporate speak talking about how they take our privacy seriously. I don't care, tell me what kind of garbage you're making my system run on startup. No warning on the Steam page and nothing about this junk in the EULA.
If you gonna force my computer to run your software (while the game is not running), you should have the decency to tell me what the hell it is and what does it do.
EDIT: And here comes the copypaste response from the devs that doesn't answer any of my concerns. Like clockwork. Great job, guys! Really helpful...

UPDATE: After further research I finally figured it out. Someone at Starry Studios messed up or just doesn't know any better.
Those two startup entries are for analytics tool called AppsFlyer. It's commonly used marketing analytics tool to track installs/uninstalls of mobile games. I don't know why they included it in PC release and why are those entries not written in game registry as they should be, but at least now I can rest easy knowing what's up.
What do those entries actually do? One tracks how many times you launched the game, the other is unique ID assigned to your device. That's it.
There's nothing to worry about.
I won't change my review to positive just yet tho. I don't understand why I had to learn all of this thru other sources. There was no reason this couldn't have been explained in developer response.
Nah, there are zero reasons why this game should write startup entries to my registry.
I have no idea what those entries are doing, devs are not disclosing anything and when called out in reviews they respond with copypaste corporate speak talking about how they take our privacy seriously. I don't care, tell me what kind of garbage you're making my system run on startup. No warning on the Steam page and nothing about this junk in the EULA.
If you gonna force my computer to run your software (while the game is not running), you should have the decency to tell me what the hell it is and what does it do.
EDIT: And here comes the copypaste response from the devs that doesn't answer any of my concerns. Like clockwork. Great job, guys! Really helpful...
