Title: Is there enough puzzles for the prize?
Post by: FreeBooteR on April 20, 2010, 11:35:12 pm
Great game, love the puzzles, music and atmosphere, but i felt the game was far too short. There should have been at least double the amount of puzzles for the amount paid. What do you think?

I think the gameplay in Machinarium is very well balanced between solving puzzles and finding / using objects. And if the game was bigger / longer, we had to wait much more time before we were able to play it  :)

Don't want to be rude but I think this topic makes little sense.
Also the poll is missing a "The game is worth every penny" option (and maybe a "I actually payed for the online version, the collector's edition and the OST LP and I'm happy)

The $10 rule strikes again  :o

While it would be great if it had been longer it makes up for that with atmosphere and style.
I can understand the problem if you are mainly playing it for the puzzles, but that won't affect everyone. I thought the price was fine.

As work of art, I find Machinarium really cheap. It's even cheaper, than DVD with some 90minute movie.. Machinarium took me approximately 5 hours:)

I would say: 'Yes, definitely!'

The puzzles is not the only reason why I play this game though. I play this game because it looks beautiful, the sounds are amazing, the music is fantastic and it makes me feel very sad and happy at the same time.

I bought this game at christmas at a discount prize, and to be honest: I'm going to have a look if I can find the retail edition with poster, box,..
That is going to get a nice spot in my room, so that everyone who enters my room will say: "Damn, that's beautiful.. Where is it from?"
