Machinarium

Today's app of the day is Machinarium.



I first played Machinarium on my PC a number of years ago, quickly becoming impressed by its amazing visuals and challenging point and click gameplay. For those of you yet to play this amazing game, the time has come, with Machinarium. making its way onto Android Play.

Machinarium is a point and click adventure, where you navigate a robot called Joseph through a variety of scrapheap themed landscapes to save his girlfriend. The puzzels are great, getting the mis of challenging / frustrating and obvious correct. You will kick yourself mutipple times when you finally solve a puzzle for how obvious it was.

The stand out element of Machinarium though (in additon to the great gameplay) is the stunning hand-drawn graphics. They will truly blow you away, which when combined with a great variety of sounds, will leave you truly immersed.

In short, Machinarium is one of the most unique experience I had on my PC in a number of years, so I am glad to see it has arrived on Android for an entire new sector of Gamers to try.
