VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Machinarium is another of those venerated art games that plays with my feelings like a pendulum: an appreciation for the absorbing scenery and the countervailing annoyance of inconsistent game design. Amanita Design’s story behind it, both the limitations they worked with and their artistic intent, make me wish I connected with it as much as I did. The positives still outweigh the negatives, but I think time has shown Machinarium clearly has some rusty parts.”
