    However you choose to play Machinarium, puzzling it out on your own or with a walkthrough in hand, the important thing is that you do play it. It's a feast for the senses and a treat for your brain, and there's nothing else on the Vita like it.

    It seems pretty clear to us that Machinarium is destined to end up being viewed as a timeless classic and added to all those lists and recaps of classic point and click games. It’s just so staggeringly lovely that we can only recommend you get it as soon as possible.

    Machinarium on Vita is an elegant version of a great game, adapted for the platform with a good deal of thought and care

So short and simple yet so fun and magical! I enjoyed this game from start to finish with no issues and no complaints. The art is gorgeous, the music and sound effects are very well done, and the story is fantastic even though there is no actual dialogue. The characters are so full of life even though most don't do much besides loop through their idle animation. The puzzles can be challenging but they're all so fun to figure out and the variety is just amazing!

    All in all, this game is a fantastic little puzzle solver. Easy 10/10    … Expand

The visuals look crisp on the Vita, and the puzzles range from simple to incredibly difficult. Unless you check a guide for some clues you will be stuck for hours on just 1 puzzle!… Expand

The art style is very nice with a bleak sense to it. Whimsical simple story which is told sparingly but manages to touch my heart. The puzzles are a nice challenge, some environmental manipulation, some traditional brain teasers. The music is just great, almost telling a story itself. I havent been able to find another game like it. Botanicula is the closest (made by the same people) in feel but is fundamentally different.… Expand

The puzzels are fun, interactive and downright hard! It's a good thing they have a hint book because most of the puzzels don't give much hints on their own. Even if you use the hint book for the majority of the game, the way the hints are given along with the style of the game; you will still need to use a some of brain-power to solve them. The point & click is great, but it does make things a little tedious and boring over an extended period of time. And if you add the mind-bending puzzels to the mix then it becomes overkill for awhile. Machinarium is an amazing game with a unique style that is completely different from every other game on the market.… Expand
