I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone to play this. I'm usually into FPS and grand strategy game but when I heard about Machinarium's unique aesthetics I most certainly had to give it a shot. Well, after playing through I have to say I wish there was more. There was only two points really that I got stuck and it was really do to my impatience and obsessive overthinking. The game really forces you to slow down and pay attention, and you should, all of the environments are beautiful, the characters are cute, and as simple as the story is, the amount of detail each step of the way is breathtaking. I was lucky to have stepped upon this game because it has given me a perspective on gaming that is not all run and gun, or even uses a strategy (which I laughably tried spamming the mouse everywhere for interaction). If you are looking for clean visuals, a simple yet emotion filled story, and something completely different than anything you played, do pick this up. Worth every penny.
