Machinarium is our first full-length adventure game in which players take on the role of a robot who has been exiled to the scrap heap. You must use logic, collect important items, and solve environmental puzzles to get the robot back into the city of Machinarium so he can rescue his robot girlfriend, save the head of the city, and defeat the bad guys from the Black Cap Brotherhood.
Machinarium is a prime example of why point ‘n’ click adventure games are not dead. It was created by people who clearly love the genre with aim to deliver a top-notch entertainment for all those gamers who really miss the magical world of adventure games. And boy did the developers deliver! Every element--even the smallest ones--are crafted with exceptional care and polish by people who clearly knew what they were doing and loved it. This level of detail is hard to find in most modern games that seem to be mass produced, so it is a very refreshing feeling to see a title that is made with such care and passion.
Honored with numerous prestigious gaming awards such as “Excellence in Visual Art” (Independent Games Festival) and Best Soundtrack (PC Gamer in 2009).
A classic point ‘n’ click gameplay with a modern flavor revitalizes the adventure genre in exciting ways.
Beautiful and enchanting soundtrack that melds classical and futuristic tunes memorably.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Good for a relaxing rainy afternoon or snowy day. Great artwork and music. Thanks to the power of the internet can cheese through this or spend time trying to solve the puzzles.
I was recommended this game by a friend and ended up streaming it, which was very fortunate because people were more than happy to assist with some the puzzles I got stuck on. (After laughing at me for a while first, of course).
From the very first scene I was enamored with the character and the fact that the game comes full circle made the playthrough all the more worthwhile.
The puzzles are clever and honestly after playing puzzle games all my life it's shocking it took me as long as it did and that I needed help. There is no pointless puzzle. The game gives you exactly what you need to solve each puzzle, without any cluttering. It's brilliantly done.
The only negative? The band you get back together and can listen to jam for a while, their song doesn't seem to be on the soundtrack?! :-(
Machinarium is a cool-looking point n click adventure, by the devs that made the Samarost games.
You play as a robot aiming to figure out why he got exiled out of the city. You meet bad guys, good guys and everything in the between on your journey. The gameplay is pretty standard with various puzzles, item hunting and even some mini games (some harders than others!). While some item puzzles can be tricky or not make too much sense, they are usually straight forward and there aren't really any dead ends.
The art design is very unique, and different from the Samorost series, this looks more like a family friendly version of HH Geiger's artwork. The soundtrack is pretty good and fits in where it should. This game continues the Amanita tradition of not having any voice acting, instead telling things through the environment, odd sounds and speak bubbles with drawn objects in them.
I definitely recommend this as a point n click game for both fans of the genre and beginners. I'm honestly surprised this game never got a sequel, but I'm excited to play more titles from the developers' catalogue of games!
Machinarium is surely a classic of the genre by now, a scruffy hand-crafted masterpiece - which I've only just got round to completing.
It's a highly imaginative game, relying on beautiful, atmospheric artwork and environmental storytelling to tell its simple, dialogue-less story.
The art really is fantastic, a world of messy, organic metal towers, cute dented little robots and shady back streets and plazas. One the best looking games I've played.
The puzzles are a mix of traditional adventure puzzles, minigames and logic puzzles. I personally have very little patience with logic puzzles, and the lack of dialogue means it's sometimes a bit obscure as to what to do next, but there's an in-built guide that just requires you to complete a mini game to unlock the answers to a puzzle (a clever solution).
The soundtrack is gorgeous and the little scrap metal robots have enough personality to make parts of the game really moving. It's a modern(ish) classic, if you like this sort of game at all then it should be on your shelf.
I remember this game since it was programmed in Macromedia Flash. It's a pleasure to have it on GOG. If you like puzzle video games I highly recommend it. You can also play Samorost3 which is just as wonderful.
