A gem of a game – Infamous Machine Review

Scenery: great, lots of different areas to explore and laid out in a non-confusing manor. Learning curve: none, you get to play from the get go, brief storyline intro that adds to the game and sets the premise. Voice overs: terrific Storyline: wonderful Background storyline: taken from actual history, great learning tool. Jokes/humor: smart and funny Style: traditional P & C adventure game Game length: very good Game value for the money: excellent Puzzle ratio: solve multiple puzzles at once that are independent of each other for most of the game with all leading to the eventual final piece. It’s NOT a “solve one before you can move on” game. They smartly let you solve many at a time in case you’re stuck on something, you can solve another which hopefully leads you to the answer of the harder ones. Clues: Nice job. It’s easy to remember what you’re looking for by clicking a person or an object and the magnifying glass. Background sounds: very fitting Conversations: easy to use, adds background or helpful info, conversations change Ending: Has a challenge round, very cool and different, gotta think quick. Game’s Thought process: excellent, you have to think about the puzzles. They’re not meaningless puzzles that just want you to click everywhere, they’ve been thoroughly thought out and are very entertaining. Things go together for reasons and those reasons make sense to the story or puzzle Final thought: this game maker knows what they’re doing. This game is fun and I highly recommend it. I come from the Sierra, Leisure Suit Larry, Gobliiins, Space Quest and Freddy Pharkus Frontier Pharmacist era and this game is that high level of humor, sophistication and game play.
