Human Resource Machine Critic Reviews

The developers of Little Inferno reappear with the new Human Resource Machine: a great puzzle game that engage the player between mathematical logic and disquieting irony.

Human Resource Machine is an original and very clever game. It's not for everyone, but definitely a game you should try if you're looking for something different to put your brain to work.

Human Resource Machine is a clever puzzle game that allows you to design your own algorithms to improve your work efficiency. It's a very special title, but is not for everyone.

Human Resource Machine has a nice concept that combines puzzles with assembly programming. The lack of a tutorial or a hint system will incommode non-programmers and this is game's only real problem. The game isn't exactly some kind of educational stuff but it can be an inspiration for further occupation with informatics.

Human Resource Machine is another great puzzle game by Little Inferno and World of Goo creators.

A clever puzzler that sort of plays like the swinging counterpart to TIS-100.

As clever as it is charming, Human Resource Machine is a must-have for anyone interested in puzzles and programming.

Human Resource Machine is a challenging and cutesy puzzle game about humans and programming humans. And the good thing is, you do not have to be into programming to enjoy this game to the fullest.

Human Resource Machine Does what a good puzzle game should: gives you a limited set of tools and tasks you with doing the seemingly impossible. However, the challenge may eventually prove too much for non-coders. The lack of a deeper story is disappointing as well, at least when compared to the wonderful Little Inferno. Still, if you enjoy programming puzzles, it's hard to go wrong with this game.

A technically excellent educational game, but dry for all but maths enthusiasts.

In contrast to Hack ‘n’ Slash and The Magic Circle where you can only break or corrupt the system, Human Resource Machine allows you to create your own algorithms which is much closer to actual programming.

I came out of Human Resource Machine unsure who it was really designed for. It's at times too simple for experienced programmers, and often made leaps too large for beginners to overcome without obtuse outside research. While I had a sense of accomplishment every time I made progress, said progress at times felt like I was an infant thrown into water and expected to swim straight away. I might manage it, but it's not the ideal teaching method to leave me feeling comfortable going forward.
