I LOVE this game. Like the previous author, I agree; this is a really neglected genre – what with the influx of hidden object games and over scripted boring ‘games’ that make you feel like you are working rather than playing.
Machinarium is a game for those who like point and click graphic adventures with good puzzles and story and beauty and humour…and randomness: you are not made to feel like you must perform a certain task at a certain time. There is always so much to explore and so many thought bubbles that pop up when you least expect them that relate to some aspect of the main characters past you just want to be there…IN THE GAME. Absolute genius.

It’s an adorable game. Definitely one of the games with best art. The story could have been a little bit more detailed. Tell us a little bit more about this brotherhood, about the city itself and the robots. But never the less – there are so many nice things in here. The only part I didn’t like is when I had to play the Gomoku. I won it totally by accident. It was frustrating. I’ve never been good at tic-tac-toe and when it comes to a game that demands from me to put 5 in a line…Oh, well. I swet a lot and frankly I was about to give up when I hit the jackpot. :P Another puzzle that got me sweating was at the end when I had to line those balls in order to open the cabinet. Otherwise all other puzzles are well-thought, logical and all in all not difficult. There are some nice extras like when you’re on the square you can go at the edge and break the light bulbs on the wall. Very nice to do some vandalism from time to time. :D The little robot is really adorable. I laughed from the bottom of my heart when it started shaking his bottom while the band was playing. ^^

Definitely a worthy game and even a jem as many call it. I’m a huge fan of the point & click adventures and I’m sad and happy that Machinarium came out. Happy – because it’s almost perfect! Sad – because I realized how neglected is the genre in the last 10 years or so. Most titles are like this – indie games. It’s really sad.

How do I fill the oil can? I can’t oil the chair to see what’s down the manhole.

I finished the game without being stuck in one place more than a few minutes (the one exeption is the tic-tac-toe game), without using any hints whatsoever.

To be honest, all my friends are also racing through this game without any problems.

I’m not saying you’re an idiot or anything, but if you don’t like puzzles, adventure games probably aren’t for you, and your critique isn’t really relevant for most people (I’m thinking most people like puzzles, but I might be wrong about that, of course).

I’d rather play £40 for this game than any other shitty so-called “AAA” game out there.

It’s more than worth it.

It might have something to do with that fact that there are settings in that menu that sometimes are needed to fix a bug (Flash is HW-accelerated by default, the devs tell you to shut it off via the menu). Maybe this also could have been fixed, but hey, I’m sure they’ll change it in the upcoming patch.

I couldn’t actually ‘figure out’ how to do the green/red beads puzzle. I tried for a little while but then I gave up and started randomly spinning the wheels them around until they fell into place. Definitely one of the more random puzzles in the game for me…

Completed the game in 7.3 hours according to Steam. Lovely game, although I wish it would have been longer.

You can put the de-rail thing on either of the rails, but it only works in your advantage if you put it on the correct one. Does that solve it?

Wonderfull game, and I don’t even _like_ point’nclick adventures!
