This week I tried Human Resource Machine and finished it. This is one of the best puzzle games I’ve ever played.
It’s a programming puzzle game by Kyle Gabler, the developer of World Of Goo and Little Inferno. Same as his previous works, this one also has a lore which makes it fun to play.
The tutorial is very well made and you progress fast at the first half of the game, however after that game slowly increases difficulty until the last level is very very hard to complete.
Game’s levels are named “Years” and there are 42 levels totally (36 puzzles and 6 story). Also all puzzles have 2 challenges : Size challenge (fewest commands) and speed challenge (fastest performance). Most of the times you can get both with first try but in the last levels they’re completely different.
Each level is in one of these 3 paths (in order): Orange Path, Blue Path and Green Path. Completing all challenges of Orange path is easy but 2 other ones are really hard.
I think almost every system can run the game and it’s even released on mobile. Even those who don’t like puzzle genre can enjoy the game. I didn’t see any problem in the game and everything was good. 10/10
