    A highly quirky, stylish and delightful game. The puzzles were often very clever and often made me think hard. Its cartoony flash animationA highly quirky, stylish and delightful game. The puzzles were often very clever and often made me think hard. Its cartoony flash animation style without spoken dialogue is part of its charm but makes it feel closer to a casual amateur game than a commercial adventure game. One criticism is that you will often have to go back and forth between several screens and those sweet little robots take an awful long time to do it. there's a good demo available, worth testing.

    half way between a commercial game and a casual amateur game.

    Amanita Design, in a stroke of genius, have taken a game and made it into a work of art.

Both the artwork and music are spectacular, truly capturing the incredible atmosphere of the world you experience inside Machinarium. And of all things Machinarium is full to the brim with originality, a value which should be the very thing that games are judged upon. This game is a credit to Amanita's brilliance and a true masterpiece. Full Review »

I have especially enjoyed it because I have played itI am not very fond of puzzle or graphic adventure games, but I admit this is a nice one. I have especially enjoyed it because I have played it only a few times per year and in good company. I guess it is not that demanding if you use the clues, though you may still get stuck at certain points. The puzzles are practically all very well-thought and some of them are as challenging as enjoyable to play. Full Review »
