Humanity is a combination of a puzzle and arcade game, tasking us with controlling hordes of people at once. The game, somewhat reminiscent of the iconic Lemmings, was co-created by Enhance, a Japanese studio responsible for games such as Tetris Effect and Rez Infinite, and the company Tha.

Plot

Humanity is set at the edge of the world, serving as a prison of sorts of those who have lost their sense of purpose. We play as a Shiba Inu, leading the crowds towards the pillars of light, their last chance of salvation. The task is not simple, as our people will encounter many dangers, including the hostile Others; though there is still a chance to peacefully resolve the conflict between them.

Shacknews: 9 / 10 by Nicholas Tan

I haven’t felt as challenged or as impressed by a puzzle game like Humanity since Portal 2 and The Talos Principle. Sony likely saw something special about it too (and this time at least, I agree), as it is one of the few games that will be available with a PS Extra or Premium subscription on day one. While Humanity does become less of a puzzler near the endgame, that’s a minor quibble in light of the risks it takes, its inventive range of content, its thought-provoking story, and its curiously peculiar presentation. (The dog is cute too.)

IGN: 9 / 10 by Gabriel Moss

Humanity is a beautiful, modern reimagining of Lemmings that blends many different genres into its clever puzzles, and its powerful level editor has dizzying potential.

VGC: 4 / 5 by Tom Regan

Humanity’s invention and weirdness makes it the perfect tonic to an increasingly risk-averse industry, offering a welcome return to the kind of eccentric oddities that endeared millions to PlayStation in the first place.
