I Am Future is the newest title from TinyBuild, which they were kind enough to send me a PlayStation 5 copy of to review, which is always appreciated. I Am Future is a cozy survival game where you play as the last person on the planet. The customization options for Robin or Chris are pretty extensive, as you take apart old barrels, trees, and assorted junk to rebuild a base for yourself and rebuild bridges and helper robots.

One of my favorite aspects of this game is that while you are the last person on Earth doesn’t mean there is nobody to talk to; you will meet a cast of robots, for example, the Earl of Fridge. You will develop a friendship with them, and they will teach you things like new recipes to cook, and together you will figure out why you are the last surviving human.

Of course, none of this matters if the gameplay itself is not fun and engaging. Thankfully, if you are a fan of this type of game, the game loop is exactly what you would hope for. You will be upgrading tools at regular intervals, so you can find bigger and better things. Fishing is simple and relaxing, and serves a real purpose, and you never feel like you are stuck waiting on things to develop. There is, of course, a certain amount of grinding to it, but it isn’t ever overwhelming.
At the end of the day, like every game of this genre, it’s a title fans of the genre will enjoy, but it won’t likely change anyone’s mind. It is an 8/10 experience. I will definitely play again at some point. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
