Game Review

The Humans is a strategy/puzzler created by Imagitec Design and published by GameTek in 1992 for the Amiga, Atari ST, MS-DOS, and many other platforms, including Mega Drive/Genesis and Game Boy.

It is often described simply as a Lemmings variant, but The Humans is much more than this since it has elements that will remind you of another masterpiece such as The Lost Vikings. You will have to instruct your characters (prehistoric people) to complete the goal of the level. The interesting part is that a plot connects all the levels: you will go through the history of civilization, with the invention of the wheel, fire, weapons, and so on. Several cut scenes will make your experience more enjoyable, with good graphics and a sense of humor.

The game designed by Rod Humble is not only original but also well-executed, with a perfect progression of difficulty. The soundtrack composed by Barry Lynch e Ian Howe makes it even better. It was ruined by some awful disk swapping at the time of its release, but now we don't have this problem anymore. The Humans is a classic that it's worth playing even today, whether you already played it at the time or now.
