Machinarium

This deserves 4 star only because of its puzzles and little for music. It has 4-5 hours of gameplay with 100k xp. Difficulty is medium-hard. Story is normal, just makes little bit sense in last 15 minutes. Some issues are like, screen freezes few times. It do not show inventory on the screen for full time,have to click the button. Inventory items also don't have names. For hintbook, I have to play one silly game again^2. Some levels are created for time consumtion. Long paths & slow movement.

Sorry, I loved this game back in the day on my pc, but it hasn't aged well. Nostalgia can only carry so much. The controls are clunky. Finding the objects and clickable areas is hard on a small phone screen. It's extremely frustrating. I'm sure if I remembered what to do, it would be a breeze, and I could still see this through rose tinted glasses. I wanted to like it, I just can't get through the game without a walkthrough every step of the way, defeating the purpose and fun.

updated: I really like the game so far, the art is beautiful & the robot is adorable. I am struggling with the puzzles, which is good because I like a challenge. But I think the game is better suited for playing on a larger screen, preferably with a mouse. tiny items can be hard to see & know where to place when my finger is mostly covering the item. I started looking for the item to light up as advised so I'm not struggling to execute each step as much now.
