October 29, 2009Looks like you got some fantastic reviews. You should be very proud.
Funny enough I’m writing up a review now for my blog as I’ve been meaning to for a few weeks now. You can rest assured that it has a lot of praise.
I must ask though, why have you not released all of the songs in the OST? Especially the one in the kitchen puzzle which I like to call “The Kitchen with a View”.

October 30, 2009Lovely game & worth the cash. Do you know books “The Cyberiad” and “Fairy Tales of Robots” by Stanislav Lem? Highly recommended. I’m looking for “Machinarium” sequel :)

December 5, 2009Absolute genius. Machinarium is perhaps the most original, wonderfully crafted game of all time. The illustrations are superb, the atmosphere truly immersive, the world – strangely beautiful. And to top it all, the puzzles are simple, yet brilliant. 10 stars.

December 5, 2009Did I mention the humour?

December 20, 2009Originally I bought this for my nephew,
But ended up playing it through with my wife…
We found a new fun hobby together.
The game is a great combination of Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth and the 7th guest.
Please make a sequel.

Thank you,
Jerome.

January 9, 2010Machinarium is one of the most positively astonishing games I have EVER played. It was an extraordinary experience and I’m looking forward for more artistic games by Amanita Design!
P.S.: I’m dreaming of a sequel! ;)
P.P.S.: Nice Linux conversion!

January 14, 2010Fantastic game.
The humour, puzzles, sound, graphics and gameplay suited Machinariums World perfectly.
In need of a Sequel!

February 7, 2010I discovered this game completely by accident but wanted to convey my personal thanks to you for what I believe is a true work of art. Everything about this gaming experience was truly inspiring and quite awesome. I have to believe that I am significantly older than your target demographics but nevertheless becoming engrossed in this game made me feel like a kid again. Can’t remember having so much fun – frustrating and challenging fun to say the least. All of you should be commended for quite an achievement. I hope that Machinarium has proven to be a commercial success for you. To say the least you are deserving of one with this creation.

February 28, 2010Ive just Machinarium, the only bit where I got stuck and had to use the help was the Owl. One of the best games I have played, puzzles are just the right difficulty not too hard nor to easy. I love the Wrench Head Man

March 4, 2010Amazing game! I don’t play games very often, and when I do, they’re never your mainstream shoot-em-up type games. Of all my favorites (the MYST games and some PANGEA SOFTWARE stuff) I think I can honestly say that Machinarium is by far the top~
The puzzles are EXACTLY the right level of difficulty and I actually found EVERY ONE OF THEM a joy to figure out! And I m in agreement with Tim there about the wrench head dude, I loved him too. Everything about this game is terrific. The music, the art and the story.
Beautiful work, please please please (that’s THREE PLEASES!) make a sequel! I’ll totally be there to buy it as soon as it’s done!
