Machinarium

Machinarium is a fun little game from Amanita design, the same makers of  Samorost 1, and Samorost 2. I have been anticipating this one since my first look at it a few months ago. The visual style is very nice, and I really like the characters in this one; In addition, the animation is very good too, as well as the musical soundtrack. The gameplay is quite similar to Samorost in that you have to solve puzzles in a scene to continue to the next, so if you like beautifully illustrated scenes, interestingly cute characters, and solving puzzles, Machinarium is very fun indeed!
