New curiosity hatched by the studio Enhance (Rez Infinite, Tetris Effect), Humanity was announced in September 2019 before disappearing for a long time to better return as part of the State of Play last February. Now dated for May 16 on PS5, PS4, PS VR, PS VR2 and Steam, this atypical action-reflection game invites us to give orders to a colony of nice humans to make them cross levels strewn with pitfalls. These joyful bipeds obediently following the orders of a Shiba Inu bathed in a doubtless divine glow.
« In Humanity, you control a luminous Shiba Inu and must place orders on the ground for a giant horde of humans. Rotate them, jump, float in the air, swim, climb, etc., all to achieve the objective (or objectives) of each level. The game introduces these mechanics gradually, combining them and adding new elements to add to the challenge as you progress “, summarizes Mark McDonald on the PlayStation Blog.
The Shiba and us
The single-player story mode will span 90 levels, but players will be able to design their own mazes and share them, hence the interest in finding Humanity the day of its release in the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscription in order to put it in the hands of more players (just like Meet Your Maker recently).
Heir to these incongruous Japanese games that have flourished in the history of PlayStation consoles, from Kurushi to Tokyo Jungle via Echochrome, Humanity plays on its singularity even in this trailer produced in the spirit of offbeat advertisements which was legion in the past in the advertising culture of PlayStation.
