    While none of this is enough to make Homo Machina a must-play, at the same time, there’s enough worthwhile stuff going on here that it’s not not a must-play, either. I mean, it’s only $3 or so, and for that price you get a fun little story that wraps up nicely and never overstays its welcome. That’s hardly GOTY material, but it’s nothing to sneeze at, either.

    This “fantastic journey through the human body factory” made me smile. Homo Machina is a very concise experience (perhaps an hour or so) but one that’s priced appropriately on the Nintendo eShop at just $2.99. While the puzzles themselves are so-so, this eye-catching game is positively wrapped in charm, and I suggest you add it to your Switch digital library.

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 »
