Machinarium

My top number 1 game I ever played, out of all 30 years of gaming. I even got a tattoo on my right arm, both Josef and his girlfriend and the owl and the cat :D

The soundtrack from Tomas Dvorak is part of my daily live, I love listening to it. I even got both 12'' vinyls from the game music, and Josef toy of course.

So you can clearly see my commitment to this game and the love I have for it.

I've played it around 10 times over since October 2009, on numerous platforms. I remember it was a rainy October, and my friend recommended it to me. I instantly fell in love with everything it had to offer, and now it is a love relationship that will last forever.

Can't wait for the sequel one day!

One of my favorite games of all time. I have a tattoo of Josef as my only tattoo. One of the coolest looking games I've ever seen, with fully hand drawn artwork and fun, creative puzzles. I've played it multiple times, and it's so warm and endearing, despite its apocalyptic, depressing, and rundown look. If you have any interest in point and click games, you must play this game.

In 2010, Humble Bundle put this game in a bundle. I opened it but realized I had to go to work. I swore I would return to play it because it was visually really cool and what little I knew of it suggested good, strong, puzzling.
Along came 2015 and I re-opened this to stream. Setting up OBS took about 15 minutes and I was all set to go. Some acquaintances asked me to come stream a game with them instead. I switched over leaving it to rust.
Then 2026 suddenly had me open it back up and I was thoroughly immersed. This little robot is collecting its history, helping himself, the town and his friends all through puzzle progression that's neither too easy or difficult. It was feeling well constructed and fun to engage with. I was really getting into it when dinner was ready.
I will return to finish, you hear me?! I'm hooked now and refuse to break momentum!
I returned with a full belly, and launched the game. Same day no less! I know! Look at me breaking gaming curses.
The mechanics still weren't letting me down. The end was fast approaching and I was in the groove, pulling this lever, making this pattern, diffusing a bomb when the credits rolled. I was kind of surprised because of how short the game ended up being. Was this really it? I stayed til the credits passed. The game was really over.
Took me 16 years to get through under 4 hours. This amuses me greatly.
No matter though. I had done it. I had gone through and enjoyed myself and just like the clever little robot, I too had a happy ending. Pesky interruptions be damned!
It's a title that holds up today and for me, it was worth trying over and over again to play through it albeit, not super vigorously. Another game gets crossed off the list!
EDIT: Noticed a typo so I fixed it.

I finally beat it! It hasn't even been 17 years! But overall, the game still looks amazing! I highly recommend buying it!

used to play this game with my dad 10 years ago, honestly might be my first game ever. top 3 puzzle games oat imo

Absolute cinema. Played this on a tablet 10 years ago, and just bought it on PC to replay it. The nostalgia hit hard. The puzzles are awesome and the atmosphere is unmatched. If you haven't played Machinarium yet, you're missing out.

Such a great point-and-click game, it has a wonderfully whimsical charm, and the art style is absolutely beautiful. The music is fantastic, the sound effects are spot on, and the puzzles are really enjoyable. Overall, it’s just a lovely experience.
