Machinarium is a cool-looking point n click adventure, by the devs that made the Samarost games.

You play as a robot aiming to figure out why he got exiled out of the city. You meet bad guys, good guys and everything in the between on your journey. The gameplay is pretty standard with various puzzles, item hunting and even some mini games (some harders than others!). While some item puzzles can be tricky or not make too much sense, they are usually straight forward and there aren't really any dead ends.

The art design is very unique, and different from the Samorost series, this looks more like a family friendly version of HH Geiger's artwork. The soundtrack is pretty good and fits in where it should. This game continues the Amanita tradition of not having any voice acting, instead telling things through the environment, odd sounds and speak bubbles with drawn objects in them.

I definitely recommend this as a point n click game for both fans of the genre and beginners. I'm honestly surprised this game never got a sequel, but I'm excited to play more titles from the developers' catalogue of games!
