7 Billion Humans Critic Reviews

The game repeats practically everything of its predecessor. However, the critique of corporatism is so great and unique that it deserves to be played for the second time with new levels.

Just like Human Resource Machine before it, 7 Billion Humans is one of the finest puzzle games I’ve ever played. A game based around programming logic runs the risk of being too complicated for its own good, but Tomorrow Corporation has fine-tuned the difficulty curve perfectly. Scrolling through a program and finding the exact command that needs to changed to carry out the exact right action is as fun as it can possibly be and with over 60 unique puzzles I doubt I’ll be putting it down anytime soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our illustrious career in data manipulation – if you’ve got the head for it (or if you’ve ever enjoyed an episode of Silicon Valley), 7 Billion Humans is as perfect an introduction to programming as you could hope for. It gives the layman an appreciation of clean, efficient code, and the writing will keep more savvy players entertained for the duration. It offers more puzzling variety than its predecessor, but if your brain simply isn’t wired that way, you won’t like it any better. If that’s the case, we’d recommend sitting this one out and crossing your fingers that Tomorrow Corporation have something less esoteric in the pipeline.

7 Billion Humans brings a fun and very addictive concept to the Nintendo Switch under the guise of a game that runs the risk of looking dull at first but which will quickly reward its players with a varied, engaging experience. With a control system that favours the handheld experience over a screen interface and with a gameplay designed for one player only, 7 Billion Humans has more than enough to make up for these flaws with its amusing qualities.

Human Re..., err, 7 Billion Humans is a fine puzzler-meets-programming, especially for those into titles that actually need some thinking (and then some). Just remember that this might be a bit too similar *cough*identical*cough* to a previous title for its own good.
