Quick Look: Machinarium

yes!

boom baby!

This game makes my eyes cry... 
 
As I recall, Samorost kind of scared me. Like, that is just one messed-up place. Cool lookin' though.

Yes! Been waiting to find out exactly wtf this game is about.

been meaning to look at this.

I'm SO down for a drunk Friday night Quick Look.
 
Hella robits!

Awesome game, awesome soundtrack. Hell, it even has a built-in hintbook if you're feeling stupid.

I was waiting for a quick look. So now, yes I will buy this. Just beat all the Strong Bad games so I'm still hankering for more.

These graphics are amazing.

I'm not into this, I must be in the minority.

I think you guys just convinced me to buy this.

Aah the game. Best day I had in a while when I played that to end.

Midnight quick look? Totally down for that.
 
Oh, and this game is excellent. I think I got it for 10 bux during the holiday sale as well.

Awesome. This is way funnier at 4:12 in the morning.

reminds me alot of samorost 2. love that game.

What time do these things go up?

Woa, looks really cool. Great artstyle and I like adventure games that the puzzles operate on a smaller scale as opposed to having you collect a billion things up front.

Wow, a Day of the Tentacle reference.  Way to go!

I got this when it came out, and it is a fantastic, and beautiful game.

Some would argue that Machinarium was GOTY 2009. I don't blame them. I finished it in more or less one sitting, but then I also went to bed at 4.00 AM

The look of this game is fantastic. It makes me wish I was better at puzzle games.

This game was pretty cool right up until you get to a puzzle with a robot coughing very loudly while you are trying to solve it. It has the most disgusting cough I've ever heard and I could never stomach trying to figure out the puzzle while listening to it. I know I could have turned sound off but no.

Looks nice!

The art style looks outstanding and the game seems to be full of cool ideas like the story presentation and hint system. But the puzzles seem to be very traditional trial and error fare beneath the surface. That isn't a bad thing at all but I probably won't enjoy it for that reason.

I love the artstyle but I find these kinds of games so boring 

Glad they got around to this! :) Just wish they didn't run through the puzzles so quickly :P

Had never heard of this before, but looks like a good way to kill some time.

Jeff made me think, has there ever been an adventure game with a room full of puzzles with no solution? That all you had to do was walk through the door to the next room?  
 
That would make a pretty great joke by playing off of players expectations, as they've become adapted to walking into a room and assuming they can't through the door until they do some crazy puzzle, they forget to go try to open the door first.

Quick look sold me on the game. Bought it right then.

Ummm, they're robots, which makes them Machines. Machine-narium, it's not that hard.

I totally loved this game, a bit late on the quick look but glad you enjoyed it so much Vinny!

dude I am so getting this game

Brilliant game, even if that fucking save bug made me lose all my progress about three times.

the puzzles get really tough :S But also i suck at adventure games :P I tend to be one of those hold-every-item-in-posession-to-the-lock person

What you did differently was put the yellow block on the other rail. At first it was on the rail further from the camera, which directed the trolley towards the camera. Then, you moved it to the rail closer to the camera, which directed the trolley away from the camera. I think that makes physics sense too.

this looks amazing. point and click games remind me of my youth! the art style is fantastic as well

A great game. Really fun and beautiful artwork.

 
This is an absolute gem of a little game. 

What a beautiful Game, both in looks and Gameplay, such a pity that this Generation of ''Gamers'' doesn't like thinking anymore and instead just wants to shoot People online.

that looks awesome

Quick Look Ya.
