Ratings and reviews

This deserves 4 star only because of its puzzles and little for music. It has 4-5 hours of gameplay with 100k xp. Difficulty is medium-hard. Story is normal, just makes little bit sense in last 15 minutes. Some issues are like, screen freezes few times. It do not show inventory on the screen for full time,have to click the button. Inventory items also don't have names. For hintbook, I have to play one silly game again^2. Some levels are created for time consumtion. Long paths & slow movement.

I usually find story-driven games too slow, but Machinarium completely changed my mind. The hand-crafted art is gorgeous, and the puzzles are both smart and rewarding, keeping me absorbed the entire time. With its perfect balance of atmosphere and challenge, it’s one of the rare story games I truly enjoyed.

the visual and audial styles are cogent and obviously crafted, rather than hastily assembled. the play and experience is endearing enough that I will continue with it. but, this one gameplay choice, or omission, marrs my fun and annoys me enough that I won't play as much as I could: you cannot halt or redirect movement with its "touch controls", but need to wait for your 'bot to arrive to wherever they were going.
