Last year had a day 1 PS+ release where you play as a cat, now we get one where we play as a dog. I'm hoping we get a rabbit game next year. Humanity is an imaginitive puzzle game that tasks you with leading people to a goal with the dog. It introduces new mechanics pretty regularly and when you think they're going to stop bring new direction commands, the game switches genres. It leans more towards an RTS by the end of the game. It has some pretty intersting progression even with optional unlocks for bring Goldies to the goal. These optional unlocks are mostly cosmetic but there's a few fun things to get that change gameplay such as a fast forward and restarting a level while keeping your direction commands. I don't like every mechanic such as the levels where you can't put down new commands after you start which I find a bit tedious. Although it's not a story focused game but the writing is actually pretty entertaining that supports a thematic cohesion for the chapters. It's a very solid puzzle game that's worth playing.
