Haha yeah I discovered that mini-game to unlock the level hints, a very nice touch!

@John Camilleri: You make an excellent point. Personally, I think that’s somewhat mitigated by the fact that the game comes with a built-in walkthrough.

I neglected to mention this in the review, but at any point in the game you can view a walkthrough of the area you’re standing in – but you have to play a little game (be sure only watch the first part due to spoilers) in order to gain access to it. This makes it a little redundant to have to resort to such measures, though I rarely found myself having to do so in the first place.

I do appreciate a good point-and-click adventure, and by the looks of it Machinarium seems intriguing enough. Will be giving this one a try!

I was a bit cynical before I went to watch the movie, truth be told, the only reason I did go was to hang out with friends (your “extra fourth step” somehow makes a lot of sense to me )…

Anyway, movie turned out to be nothing short of spectacular, at least for me. The visuals were pretty breathtaking and the storyline was quite captivating even if not the most original (although in the end I still don’t think that the flick warranted all the excessive hype it got).

I have to disagree with you on step 2.5 though… For me the 3D experience was a total waste of money – the fact that my fake 3D glasses were semi functioning might have played a role XD .

Nice find Jean!
Although like lots of point-and-click adventures, don’t you find it suffers a bit from “wave the mouse everywhere to see what’s clickable”-itis?

An excellent review! I need to play the game in order to really appreciate how good it is, and I’ll definitely do that when I finish the exams!

A really good indie puzzle game like this is hard to come by, and it’s excellent artistry definitely makes me want to try it out!
