Machinarium Collector's Edition

When the game came out, it was highly praised. So I played the demo and really like it but when I played the full version, I couldn't believe just how hard the game is. I love the graphics, sound and atmosphere. But the challenging puzzles is what frustrated me the most. I got through most of the game but I gave up eventually. I tried to use the hints and even went online for some walkthroughs. Thankfully I only spent four dollars. This game was disappointing in my opinion.

This is a very good game. It is not perfect: Like with all point and click games, there are times when you get stuck. I had to go to youtube 2-3 times. I don´t like mini-game-puzzles that are not logically embedded in the story. Like all adventure games, Macinarium has these, too. But overall it is just a very good game: Great story, great graphics, great soundtrack.

Beautifully drawn and extremely playable, this is one of the few games of its kind that has held my interest right to the end. The soundtrack is wonderful too, and has become one of my most played albums. I wish there was a sequel!

I can't give 5/5 with the near-end minigame I think most people will agree on that and some other things But this is a must play for point&click fans

I'll preface this by saying I have a terrible weakness forgames that look hand-drawn and have a cool aesthetic, and an even bigger weakness for robots. This game hits both marks. Machinarium is a stylish, clever game with an intuitive user interface, a helpful method of gaining access to sometimes much-needed hints that doesn't feel out-of-place or like hand-holding, and a delightful world filled to the brim with suggestions of a deeper, more complex lore. The villains often have as much in common with schoolyard bullies as they do genuine monsters, and, you know what? Somehow, that works. It works incredibly well- probably because it's more accessible to most us than the threat of robo-terrorism. There are jazzy robo-buskers, pious robo-church ladies, robot cats, robot rats, robot birds and bees and butterflies- there are robot bartenders and robot five-in-a-row players who are bad winners and bad losers. And there's you, the plucky little robot underdog who never gets discouraged and, somehow, has an overflowing personality without ever saying an actual word. The world of Machinarium is rich and immersive and surprisingly natural, really, for what it is. I'd thought the game would be shorter than it is but was pleasantly surprised to find that it holds its own as a full narrative, consistent without being repetitive, and always filled with things to look at. And listen to. Don't even get me started on the soundtrack.
