Introduction

Welcome to '7 Billion Humans', a puzzle game where you will undoubtedly question your choice of major at school. If you thought programming was hard, wait until you try to get seven billion little people to do your bidding! This sequel to 'Human Resource Machine' blows the previous installment out of the water but still keeps the same quirky humor that makes Tomorrow Corporation creators, well, creators worth keeping an eye on.

Gameplay

'7 Billion Humans' is all about getting your horde of human workers (yes, you can have that many without a union strike) to solve over 60 adorable puzzles by controlling them through a simple programming language. Picture this: you have a group of humans, each holding a data cube (don’t ask where they got it), and they need to sort those cubes by moving them around like a game of chess, except if you mess up, everyone starts colliding awkwardly into one another. It's like a wacky version of ‘The Office’ but with less awkward pauses and more code!

Graphics

The visuals are a delight, giving you that charming Tomorrow Corporation aesthetics you might remember from 'World of Goo'. The environments are colorful, inviting, and oddly comforting – like a plushie couch just waiting for you to sit down and question your life choices – all while offering a great contrast to the complexities of the programming puzzles. Plus, the quirky animations of your human puppets trying to follow code you’ve given them might just make you chuckle, especially when they mess it up spectacularly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, '7 Billion Humans' brings a humorous spin to the puzzle genre, particularly for the programming savvy or those brave enough to say they are (even if it means Googling for help). With engaging gameplay that offers a balance between simplicity and complexity, amusing visuals, and a delightful narrative, it’s a solid addition to your Switch library. So grab your Joy-Cons and prepare to wage war against the confusion of coding, while simultaneously wondering how you could manage an actual office filled with this many humans! This game gets an 8.5 out of 10 – just like a spicy burrito, it’s messy, fulfilling, and may cause a brain freeze!
