7 Billion Humans
Office music
If you want to learn programming in a fun way, 7 Billion Humans is just the thing for you. As in its predecessor Human Resource Machine from 2015, we have employees of a super corporation place packages from the input to the output conveyor belt using a sequence of commands. It doesn't sound very exciting, but it's actually really interesting and charmingly presented in the 2D boy style.
Musically, the game follows in the footsteps of its direct predecessor - unfortunately, as with Human Resource Machine klingt 7 Billion Humans doesn't sound like the fantastic World of Goo. Stattdessen hören wir hier jazzige und sphärische, fast schon futuristische Tracks, die thematisch zwar zum Cyber-Konzern passen, umgekehrt aber wenig Varianz und Akzente bieten. Stücke wie The Data Is Wranglin‘ ItselfKyle Gabler, Shalin Shodhan sind zwar peppig und bringen gute Stimmung, für den Sprung in den Soundtrack-Olymp reicht es meiner Meinung nach aber nicht. Aber, und das muss ja dazu gesagt werden: 7 Billion Humans is a puzzle game - and you might want to have some peace and quiet with it.
