IGN writes: "The Humans is a game that doesn't quite know what audience to go for. The platform action will alienate fans of pure puzzle games, and if the PC has anything it's no shortage of great puzzle games. On the flip side, the action lacks the excitement or the pace of a pure platforming game. And while it's packed with some challenging puzzles, it's also packed with an equal amount of repetitiveness".
Carl Williams writes, "The Humans, a puzzle series that was like Lemmings, is finally available on GoG.com. All three games in the series in one package for one price. Piko Interactive went out, got the rights and released these games as a collection."
Normally, the end of the year is a slow time for game releases. Everyone who’s anyone has already launched during the holiday season, and the stragglers don’t seem to get much attention. Then again, all those folks that picked up new consoles for Christmas need something to play, so maybe there’s some cleverness in a last-week release.
Who knows? Either way, these games are coming out just before the clock rolls over to 2013.
oh type 0, maybe one day i'll be able to play you in english. <3 the demo was so awesome. maybe once SE is done with their obsession with lightning we might finally get you, if is psp or vita port idc, JUST COME OVAH HERE!
I also downloaded and played the demo and it was so good. So good that I wish I never bothered downloading it in the first place because now I know how much of a good thing I am missing.
I can't find any US release for any of these on amazon or gamestop...I assumed they were for US because they all had ESRB ratings except for the iOS games.
Type-0 is listed as canceled on gamefaqs as well, and was released in October in Japan. POssession and the Humans is also listed as canceled. Author game is cancelled in the US it looks like. The Grinder is cancelled for Wii, and TBA for 360. Unchained blades looks to be a digital title releasing on the 1/3...
GI:
"All in all, The Humans is fun and creative, but it loses its entertainment value after a while. Soon the interesting puzzles lose their originality, and the whimsical visuals and upbeat music get old. Give the game a try if you are interested, but bear in mind that the game does make you weary quickly. The Humans is about $20 (15 euro), so it isn't terribly expensive, but I don't really think it's worth the money. Rent it or play it at a friend's house."
