A Tarnished Masterpiece
This is not your typical point and click adventure game!! While your average adventure game requires the player to collect/combine objects to solve puzzles, in Machinarium they represent 1/4 of puzzle elements as the bulk of the puzzles are logic/brain teaser/boardgame type puzzles. The overall story arc requires you to save a damsel in distress. The game setting takes place in a dystopian robotic metropolis where big robots rule over smaller ones and where an element tired of the tyrants try to blow up the city tower where the bullies reside. Same bullies holding your love captive. Visual design is original and very appealing. Game offers hints if you're stuck. I did not require any assistance until the last (out of place) puzzle. While I solved the first element of the puzzle, you're required to repeat 18 musical notes on a 6 key piano type instrument. Umm, unless you're a musician that can write musical tunes there is no way you will solve this puzzle. Not sure what the devs were thinking here?! I downloaded the game from GOG and as games are DRM free, I copies the game folder onto my laptop and played from the comfort of the couch while watching TV. Game can be played on a potato. No bugs to note, however gameplay was sluggish on my PC. Initially, game was also sluggish on my laptop, but after quitting the game and turning off the laptop a couple of times over the course of play, the game suddenly became fluid. Most likely because the game was capped at 60fps as opposed to 144fps on PC. Game took me ~5 days to finish. I loved the game, the visuals, save anywhere feature, the storyline where I had to save my love and payback the bullies. The mix of typical and brain teaser elements was awesome! Puzzles are tough but always fair until you reach the endgame. The final puzzle certainly spoils the mood as no matter how intelligent you might think you are if you're not a musician... A potential 5 star masterpiece tarnished by an odd choice for the finally.
