Absolutely loved this game! A perfect length for a silly adventure game, it never dragged on and was just challenging enough to keep me engaged but not frustrated. I laughed the whole way through.

Strong art direction still holds up today, I thoroughly enjoy the aesthetics.
The unique mechanic of using a crucifix to stun and sometimes kill enemies is super cool.
Movement and combat is obviously pretty clunky and frustrating due to its age. But honestly this game feels ahead of its time, making use of an almost rogue-like style gameplay progression and twisting dungeon-like corridors.
I recommend this if you are willing to put up with its clunkiness to experience a charming, silly, unique game with plenty of organic jump-scares.

Stunningly beautiful game which stands the test of time. The ambience and art direction is unmatched.
Compared to Amanita's newer games, Machinarium's puzzles are much more obscure. There can be a bit of trial-and-error of combining objects, which can feel frustrating. But still fun and satisfying most of the time!

This is a great evolution of the previous game and builds on everything they got already got right.
There are some interesting changes to the FPS mechanics which make this game different enough from the first to feel fresh.

This is an absolute classic for me. A perfect combination of shooter gameplay and tower defence. It doesn't overcomplicate things and stays true to its core gameplay loop and themes.
It can get a little repetitive after a while but not enough for it to be a criticism.

Restaurant management and cooking games are not normally my jam but I played this on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just an all around well-balanced and enjoyable game!

One of my all-time favourite games. This, to me, is a perfectly designed game. The mechanics are elegant and simple enough that anyone can enjoy, but within the simple mechanics is a tonne of mechanical nuance. I have played this on multiple platforms and still enjoy it.

One of the most engaging story-based RPGs I've ever played. The narrative really grips you and you feel the pressure of time and stakes. Highly recommended!
