Humanity
Humanity est un jeu d'aventure développé et publié par non color, sorti le 13 mars 2010 sur PC (Microsoft Windows). Conçu sur le moteur Unity, il propose une narration de type novel visuel centrée sur l'exploration de la condition humaine.
Le scénario nous projette dans un futur où des êtres vivants, issus de tubes à essai et ne pouvant être considérés comme humains, peuplent le monde. Ces "subhumains" rient, marchent et jouent, au jour le jour. Le jeu se présente comme une aventure sur la quête de l'humanité.
A sa sortie, Humanity a reçu un accueil critique très positif, avec un score Metacritic de 84 et un score OpenCritic de 85. Le site Movies Games and Tech a souligné son excellent rapport qualité-prix, le comparant à des offres attractives comme Cuphead ou Hollow Knight. GameSpew a salué l'originalité du titre, le décrivant comme "étrange et merveilleux" pour son style visuel abstrait et sa prémisse. Les joueurs ont également réagi avec enthousiasme, plusieurs qualifiant l'expérience de "très bonne", de "formidable" et soulignant la beauté de l'ambiance sonore et visuelle.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« This game is shockingly cheap given what you’re getting. To me, this is the same as the bargain you get with Cuphead or Hollow Knight. Especially considering that this game was rolled out day one on PS Plus Extra (Sony’s comparatively anemic answer to game pass). There is no reason that any fan of puzzle games should skip this. I’ll go door to door if I have to. »
« Humanity joins the stable of games published by Enhance that are weird and wonderful in all the right ways. Its abstract visual style, strange premise and trippy soundtrack all sit on top of its unique brain-teasing challenges, creating a game that quickly gets its hooks in you and doesn’t let go. For puzzle fans, or those who simply like their games out of the ordinary, this is a must-play. »
« Humanity is a beautiful, modern reimagining of Lemmings that feels as esoteric and artsy as Enhance’s previous games, while ambitiously stepping onto new terrain for the action puzzle genre with the pitter-patter of countless little feet. »
« Humanity is a fantastic puzzle game that reminded that of those crazy Dreamcast titles that Sega gave us, and also proves that Enhace can also surprise with its own ideas. »
« Humanity is such a well-suited metaphor and a precise representation of an intriguing title, condensed into one single word. This game bends around established rules and genres, introduces creative mechanics and provides you with enormous amounts of food for thought. My best attempt at brief description would be something like this: Everything, everywhere, all at once and for everyone! Because this title has a little something for everyone, so you better get to playing… »
« Small but strong, this is how we define Humanity, a game that delivers a complete and addictive gameplay - including many surprises -. »
« Humanity is a phenomenal debut title that finds new and creative ways to shake up the puzzle platformer genre, and with it being free on day 1 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, there's no reason to skip over this must-play title. »
« A fantastically clever puzzler that would be perfectly welcome if it was just a 3D Lemmings clone, but it soon evolves into something far more imaginative and unpredictable. »

« Good. Very good. Extremely good. Stupendously good. Insanely good. That just about sums it up. »
« Awesome game, the soundtrack and visuals are all coming together to form something unique and beautiful. Throughly enjoyed my time with it and i hope the team can produce more games like this in the future »
« A masterpiece in its own genre. For someone like me who platinumed the game on playstation without using any kind of guide,this game was so rewarding and beautiful. »
« The experience is wonderful and beautiful. However, if the controls were a bit more refined, it would be superb. »
« It’s good, im Not that much into Puzzle games. Once it got too much i quit. »
« Changed my rating three times during my gameplay time. It starts interesting, get a little too hard near to the beginning, than it starts getting better and better until it reaches the ultra amazing end. Fantastic game »
« It doesn't reach 10 because in the middle of the game the level drops (very little), but the last sequences are brilliant. One of the best games I've ever played and one that reaches its zenith when trying to get platinum. Wonderful! »
« Really enjoy puzzle games but this one.. it makes more like indie games. Simple, straight and not much appealing. I play without **** controller feels like a mobile game »
