And the time will come when the human spirit will not remain on earth, and the world will be ruled by creatures made of metal and silicon. And that society will be similar to what their creators had,
and a system of all life will develop in which there will be a place for good and evil, love and hate. And the day will come when indifference and sadness will give rise to courage and love. The book of the Machinarium part 3 of Article 2.
Despite the fact that the game was released only a few months ago, among true connoisseurs of the genre, Machinarium has gained the status of an adventure icon. The game was developed by the Czech studio Amanita Design, headed by Jakub Dvorsky, widely known for the Samorost series of games.
The plot of the game tells the story of the robot Joseph, who lives in a city that originated on a landfill planet created once by people. Our iron friend, by the will of fate, is thrown to the side of life, it is from there that we will begin our journey through the unique Machinarium. Solving interesting puzzles, penetrating into the depths of the copper-metal world, getting acquainted with new characters, watching Josef's memories, we feel sympathy for him, and we will feel a part of the feelings that excite not only him, but also each of us.
The game mechanics of the Machinarium project has absorbed all the best practices from the previous games of the studio. Your main task is to explore the location, find all the necessary elements, and then put them into the big picture. What is nice is that there is almost no need for pixel-by-pixel search for puzzle elements, their location is quite logical, it is much more difficult to understand what to do with this or that object. This is a very significant moment in the gameplay, the game does not tire and gives you the opportunity to enjoy solving the problem with the help of your own mental abilities.
What is striking about Jakub Dvorsky's games in the first place is the visual design of the game space. The backdrops of the levels are paintings by the artist, made at a very high level. Each location is not repeatable and contains a lot of seemingly inconspicuous details, sometimes it's just worth stopping and starting to consider the decor elements as a work of art in the museum gallery.
There is something in the game that is completely self-sufficient, bringing great pleasure during the game or not. Ambient music, melodies, written especially for the game by Thomas Dvorak, will remind you for a very long time about the amazing journey into the world of the Machinarium.
It makes no sense to write that the game is made on Flash, it does not matter to anyone that its size is less than half a gigabyte, is it worth writing that many publications gave a rating of 9 out of 10. Machinarium is an event, an event not for everyone, it is an art house, addressed to those who love avantage worlds, sincere feelings and fascinating riddles.
Perhaps it's enough to torment you with waiting, right now you have to taste this work of art, the first levels are available to everyone, go ahead to adventure.
