The Humans Collection is a nostalgic title that many players fondly remember from their childhood, offering a unique blend of platforming and puzzle-solving gameplay.
Despite its age, the game retains its original charm and artistic ideas, making it enjoyable for those who appreciate retro gaming.
The quick levels allow for short play sessions, making it easy to jump in and out of the game when time is limited.

The game suffers from significant technical issues, including lack of modern display support, slow character movement, and unresponsive controls, making it frustrating to play.
Players have reported that the game is poorly optimized for modern PCs, with glitches and a cumbersome saving system that requires manual password entry.
The overall lack of interest in the game is reflected in its low player activity on Steam, indicating that it may not appeal to a broader audience beyond nostalgic fans.
