Machinarium Reviews

Highly recommend

This game was very entertaining. Has a good amount of miniature games and puzzles. If you like problem solving with a hint of adventure, I highly recommend this game.

The connect 5 game. I know it seems nitpicky, but this puzzle is unbeatable. I want to see what the rest of the game is like, but this puzzle is impossible to beat. I don't know if I'll ever finish this game, which is sad because this is such a gem.

Good with flaws

I love the art, I like the puzzles. Only the puzzles are super difficult. Maybe I'm just bad at puzzles but playing on my phone it's really hard to know what to click or when to click. You will get prompts at important times. But most items blend in and/or have some type of unknown time limit. I'm not expecting this to change but it's good to know.

Loved it.

I loved the visuals and the degree of difficulty. And it's really long! Which always makes me happy

Too tedious

Botanicula is great- challenging, pretty, fun puzzle game. Finished that and wanted more- this is not it. Also pretty, but puzzles are tedious and obtuse. I just deleted it.

Fun, Challenging, rewarding

Very cool art in this game, and the music is fantastic. Some challenges are tough, but that's just part of the experience! Well worth the $5. Hopefully they make more of these game!

Beautiful little game

It's a gem.

I really love this game!

Are you is tea why?

I heard about this game from the documentary about the making of Broken Age (another great point-and-click puzzle-solving game). It's really awesome to think about how these guys were probably influenced by Tim Schafer, and then later on influenced Tim Schafer.

Wow what a game.

Incredible art and awesome puzzles BUT why do you make them so short!???!!! Please add other adventures and maybe new chapters. And make other games! These are incredibly good.

Best game ever; frustrating on iPhone

I've been doing puzzle games since Zork; I've probably played hundreds. I love a good story and difficult solving. Machinarium is my favorite game of all time--killer music and environmental audio, gorgeous visuals, clever puzzling (the garden entrance puzzle may be the best ever). Plus, it has walkthroughs if you just get stumped and can't figure out where to go next. I've played through this probably four times, but always on a computer. On a tiny iPhone 6 screen, it's nearly impossible to see every clue or manipulate every control. The bomb puzzle nearly requires a magnifying glass, and several others had such specific click zones it took dozens of tries for an otherwise easy puzzle. This is really not the fault of the developers--they've built a lush, rich environment, densely packed with visual clues. There's probably no way to make the work on an iPhone. iPad, maybe. Computer, definitely.
