Review: Human Resource Machine (Nintendo Switch)
Be a good employee! The machines are coming… for your job.
Pros:
- Cartoon graphics much in the same style as World of Goo.
- 99.6MB Download size.
- Three save slots.
- Full touchscreen controls.
- In game tutorials and pop ups.
- Four avatars for you to choose from to represent you in game.
- Cutesy animations.
- Game play evolves around you performing tasks for you boss by putting a list of commands in order. This is done by taking a command (box) from one conveyor belt and putting it on the other. Now these have to be put in the right order or it all falls apart.
- You can fast forward time or go back one step at a time or flat out reset the game.
- Its a difficult game make no bones about it.
- You can ask in game for hints and tips if you get stuck.
- The game actually serves as a good tool for budding developers and coders, For this I mean I teaches you how to think like a coder, How to order commands and why you need A to work with B to make C.
- Very clever game.
- An excellent time waster, I say time waster as you will waste time messing up puzzles over and over but.
- Near instant loading times.
Cons:
- Commands do soon level out and for that it starts to feel a bit of a letdown when no new commands start coming in.
- The game is a lie and you are actually learning the basics of coding, Maths and how to problem solve!
- You may never see the end of the game.
- Coders may well finish the game rather quickly without to much hassle.
