An arcade-puzzle game tasking us with leading crowds of people through complex stages. Humanity was created by Tha and Enhance, also responsible for Tetris Effect and Rez Infinite.
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.
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.
Humanity makes use of the top-down perspective. We directly control the dog, giving the crowd simple commands. By barking, we order then to jump (often against the laws of physics), turn, climb, shoot or fight. Over the course of more than 90 abstract stages, we must avoid obstacles, traps, threats and deal with enemies. The player must exhibit good planning, reflexes and agility to succeed. As for the enemies - aside from hostile groups we'll also encounter bosses, defeating which requires us to uncover their weak points.
The game includes a creator, used to create your own maps, puzzles and scenes. Our work can then be shared with the community.
Humanity makes use of a low poly artstyle. The graphics are simple, but colorful and appealing, the sheer density of controllable crowds being especially impressive. The game supports VR, though it is not required.

Game Ratings for Humanity Video Game.
Screen Rant: 4.5 / 5 by Jacob Zeranko
Humanity builds on the theme of collective humanity in a number of other ways. The first is with its cross-platform Stage Creator that, like the building system in Meet Your Maker or Halo's forge mode, is a versatile and polished system that allows players to create and share custom stages to challenge other players. The second way is through the game's score, which uses human voices as a choir and as other instruments through clever sound design and modulation. In the end, Humanity is a phenomenal debut title that finds new and creative ways to shake up the puzzle platformer genre, and with it being free on day 1 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, there's no reason to skip over this must-play title.
TheGamer: 3.5 / 5 by Tessa Kaur
However, if you don’t care about the story and you just want a really good puzzler, Humanity might be for you. Apart from over 90 story levels, the game has a Stage Creator function that allows users to submit their own levels. This gives you a huge number of levels to access even after you’ve finished the game, giving it a much longer shelf life. You can also play it in VR - I chose not to do this because VR gives me migraines, but the visuals of the game are pretty cool and worth seeing in VR if you already own a headset. I wish Humanity’s marketing had focused more on its puzzles than its story, because it’s fairly clear to me which is stronger and I came away a little disappointed. The game’s mechanics evolve very well with the story’s narrative, and it’s a lot of fun. I’m just not sure its story was worth telling.
COGconnected: 85 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
Humanity is weird and wonderful. Like all great puzzlers, its premise is simple and the challenge steadily grows. THA Limited continues to innovate throughout the entirety of the game and manages to couple each triumph with jubilation. The odd difficulty spike may leave you perplexed, and a hint system rather than a complete solution would have been beneficial, however, this puzzler is one of the best in recent times and is a must for fans of the genre.
