History YMMV / TooHuman

** "Owned by ''Too Human''."[[note]]Denis Dyack, in a publicity stunt on the gaming forum [=NeoGAF=], infamously tried to call out all members of the forum to state if they were "For" or "Against" ''Too Human''. If the game was successful, they would have to adopt "Owned by ''Too Human''" as their forum tag. If the game was a flop, he'd adopt "Owned by GAF" as his. He was banned before he ever had to own up to it, but the tag would go on to be mocked for a while by the game's detractors. Especially after the lawsuit surrounding the game led to the studio shutting down, causing people to joke that Dyack himself had been [[CreatorKiller "Owned by]] ''[[AccidentallyAccurate Too Human]].''"[[/note]]

* Yahtzee Croshaw of ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' went on record as proclaiming it to be one of the worst games he has ever reviewed and temporarily turned it into a RunningGag, serving as a punchline in other reviews.

* MemeticMutation: Yahtzee Croshaw of ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' went on record as proclaiming it to be one of the worst games he has ever reviewed, and around the time of its release, he occasionally used it as a bottom of the barrel punchline in other reviews which subsequently turned ''Too Human'' into a meme in and of itself. This tends to be one of the only reasons anyone who doesn't know more about it even bothers to look it up.

** Instead of camera control with the right stick and assigning attacks to a button or any sort of proper lock-on, Baldur attacks with the right stick and auto-locks all of his non-stick attacks onto the nearest target while the camera is awkwardly shoved to shoulder controls. This not only makes it tough to see around yourself, but also means Baldur will likely whiff most of his attacks, or focus on an entirely wrong target while a shielded foe is blowing him up with missiles. This turns everything into an EarlyGameHell for those who go with the Commando and/or a more ranged playstyle.

* UncannyValley: Everyone except Freya, and even she is suffering from some kind of skin rash. Ironic, given the title.

* {{Narm}}: "IT'S A VALKYRIE, COME TO TAKE ISTBOR TO VALHALLA!"

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Everyone agreed that the premise itself translating Norse mythology into a sci-fi setting was promising. Too bad the eventual story was lacking (not helped by [[StillbornFranchise keeping parts of it for sequels]]).

* ScrewedByTheLawyers[=/=]WhatAnIdiot -- 'Tis what happens when you steal GameEngine code from the people who made ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar''. Will soon be very hard to find, as the results of a lawsuit are forcing the company to destroy any unsold copies of the game in 2013.
** Not really, seeing as Silicon Knights did not have the power to recall all unsold copies(they were down to a skeleton crew before disolving), and given that both used and new copies are still very cheap and plentiful online.
