    Homo Machina is short, it can’t offer a noteworthy puzzle experience, and it also fails as an educational piece, but it’s a thoughtful little experiment that survives on style alone.

    Homo Machina is a one trick pony, but one that has been tremendously cared for. The puzzles are fun, and the fact that the human body is controlled by little people is a neat touch.

    Homo Machina is a game with a very fun concept and an attractive art style that will put the player working on some interesting puzzles, before its short lifespan comes into view. The way it was converted to the Nintendo Switch also made Homo Machina a peculiar game to control and which loses a lot when played on a television screen. This is a game that would benefit a lot more from a longer lifespan and improved controls.

    Tragically short and simplistic, Homo Machina will satiate those looking for a fun little interactive experience about the human body. At $3 however, its runtime of less than an hour puts a huge damper on the whole thing.

Note that it can beThis is a nice addition to your Switch library if you, like many, find Fritz Kahns mechanical body part designs appealing. Note that it can be finished in less than an hour, but the eShop price is quite fair for that. The puzzles are very simple and are just there to enhance the experience. I've played it in TV mode (wanted to see the designs in full) and have to deduct one point because the shaky mouse pointer controls often feel in your way (had to switch to tablet mode briefly because one ear puzzle was too difficult with them), and because it does not seem to be well-optimized (Switch becomes hot).… Full Review »
