People Playground

Graphics 3/5

People Playground game is a humble pie in Steam’s confectionary. The key heroes of this simulator are blank-faced paper dummies. They obey bizarre ragdoll physics whenever exposed to various hazards. They live and die in speechless fear. And when their blood splatters all over your screen — still not a sound of complaint. Not a single agony screech.

The level design here is nothing much. There’s the same dark room where you get to torture these silent lambs. But the weaponry design is where the game truly shines. They do a decent job both visually and acoustically at creating that carnage vibe we all love.

As a result, People Playground system requirements are low. The game needs only 500 MB of disk space (extended version). PP Lite will do fine with 300 MB.

Gameplay 4/5

Our People Playground review guarantees: this is one of the cruelest games for PC. Here you can literally annihilate humanoid mannequins. The repertoire of obliteration tools is quite impressive as well. Apart from regular pistols, rifles and Gatling guns, you also get to test other sadistic contraptions.

You can sit a paper dummy on a powder barrel and light its detonating chord. There is a bathtub filled with water — put a dummy in, dip an exposed electric wire in it and the roast mannequin is ready. And how about running a rag doll martyr through a corridor of spikes, burning him like a marshmallow with flames or squishing his bones with a Soviet tank?

Controls 5/5

Basically, People Ground gameplay doesn't require you to control it. Once the stage is set and everything’s prepared, you can trigger the massacre with a single click. You can also use the mouse to control one of the game’s numerous weapons/gadgets to conduct an execution personally.

Replay Value 3.5/5

Although repetitive and recycled visually, People Playground full game offers a wondrous relaxation. There are numerous death combinations you can architect like a true evil genius.

How about assassinating a group of paper people with a single bullet? Or maybe blowing up a pirate ship so its smithereens crush somebody’s skull? Don’t let your fantasy have any limits. (Especially moral and humanistic).
