Welcome to the world of Human: Fall Flat, where the only thing flatter than Bob—our clumsy hero—is the game's physics. It's 2017, and if you thought getting your friend to help solve a puzzle was easy, you've clearly never played a game with your pals or met Bob. Here’s an in-depth exploration of Bob’s embarrassing misadventures and his less-than-stellar attempts at being a human being.
At its core, Human: Fall Flat is a physics puzzle game, and boy, oh, boy does it throw you into the world's most challenging environment—Bob's imagination! You control Bob, who, let's be honest, moves like he’s perpetually hungover (not that we’re judging, Bob). Every level is set in a surreal, whimsically designed world with physics-based puzzles that will make you scratch your head and ask yourself why you agreed to this in the first place. Sad to say, Bob doesn’t have the best luck; expect him to flop around, grab at things like a toddler with an ice cream, and attempt parkour that would embarrass even the most basic of cats. Your task is to navigate through levels filled with gaps, obstacles, and—let's not forget—those delightful physics-based mishaps that will leave you in stitches (or possibly angry tears). But don’t worry; there are multiple solutions to these puzzles, so just like life, you have multiple ways to make a fool of yourself.
The graphics in Human: Fall Flat are like a minimalist dream, not unlike if you took all the colors of a toddler's art project and threw them against the wall. The graphics are bright and cheerful, with each level boasting a unique theme that makes it feel fresh every time you plunge into its chaos. The cartoonish style pairs perfectly with the game's slapstick humor. Bob, the epitome of a 'blank slate' character, can be customized to your heart's content, although you might want to avoid outfits that make him look like he just escaped a clown convention.
In a world filled with high-paced shooters and complex narratives, Human: Fall Flat, like Bob himself, comes in awkward and endearing. This game invites you to fumble through clever puzzles with zero pressure and endless opportunities for chaos, which is perfect for some light-hearted gaming sessions. If you’re looking to spark a great time with friends or simply admire a character who continuously falls flat, then look no further. My score for this delightful mess of a game is a solid 8.5/10. Bob, we salute your cluelessness—may we all take a page from your book (or rather, your free-falling guide).
