I have a love/hate relationship with puzzle games. On one hand, I like games that challenge my problem solving skills. On the other, I hate getting stuck on the same puzzle for too long (looking at you The Witness). Humanity is the perfect balance of complexity, difficulty and strategy without boring you with triviality or being excessively frustrating.

What's great about the game is: it respects your time. There's no intrinsic pressure: you can figure out solutions in real time and adapt as necessary. Or you can plan everything in advance - your call. If you require a restart, you can keep all the commands you placed before. You even have a fast forward speed option and in-game solution vídeos.

The story is minimal yet surprisingly solid, something I'd never expect from this kind of game. Each set of levels come with their own narratively-thematic gimmick: pushing boxes, following the dog and the latter ones even turn the game into a shoot-em-up gender bender! Humanity's experimental gameplay and offbeat aesthetics reminds me a lot - in a positive way - of earlier PS3 games such as Flow and Flower.
