I will agree with the majority of the reviewers that this is a lovely little game but there is still at the time of writing (June 2012) a bug in the GOG game that sometimes results in all saved games being deleted upon rebooting your computer or if you use a registry cleaner such as CCleaner. This is an acknowledged issue that has yet to be resolved (as far as I know) and there are several posts on various forums that have suggested work-arounds (see for example http://amanita-design.net/forum/index.php?topic=463.0). If you buy this game my suggestion is that you play through the first scene, save your game, then reboot your computer to see if you still have your saved game. If not, you may have to employ one of the suggested fixes. My biggest criticism has to be reserved for GOG: this is a known issue and as such they should post a warning about this. I played through about 2 hours of the game only to find that my saved games disappeared and I had to restart everything. Very frustrating. But now that I can recover my saved games Machinarium is indeed a little gem. 3 stars because of the bug, otherwise easily a 4 or 5 star review.
