Both are awesome little games, for different reasons (and some similar.) I would also love to see more games like them, I hope Amanita continues to make strangely fascinating and visually wonderful adventures. I think for the sheer beauty and charm, I do prefer playing Botanicula, but Machinarium is certainly not without merits. As I prize myself to be quite the hardcore adventure gamer and having come to love Amanita Design through its wonderful, rusty and melancholic Machinarium. I have found it harder than Botanicula so far, a couple of times I have been genuinely confused about what to do next, but I'm progressing along (still playing it, just recently found and deactivated the bomb) and enjoying it very much. Republic) IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please note that delivery CHUCHEL is a comedy adventure game from the creators of Machinarium, Botanicula and Samorost. 'sequel is not planned yet but we have several other cool games in the pipeline' Amanita Design tweet. This thread is meant for everyone out there that keeps asking Amanita Design to make a Machinarium sequel. As for Botanicula, the art is beautiful, the atmosphere is dreamlike, but at first I was really disapointed by the. And I think children as well as adults could enjoy it. I really enjoyed Machinarium because the art was beatutiful of course, but also because the puzzles made sense almost at all times. Machinarium also looks great, fantastically drawn and with a similar type of random and brilliant characters/sounds that I enjoyed in Botanicula. Machinarium 2 (reality check) on: February 25, 2017, 09:36:29 pm. I know it does not make much sense to compare these games, but still I am going to do it. I actually found some of the puzzles quite challenging, and even though some might say it's style over substance, I think it has a good balance of each. Instead, the band’s resourcefulness resulted in a one-of-a-kind game with a soundtrack worth paying for.I played Botanicula first, and thoroughly enjoyed it I found it beautiful, lovely music and such cute characters and sound effects, it was just mesmerising to look at. “Bara is a specialist in these noises,” Jan laughs.Īnd to think the whole thing started as a potentially project-exploding bug (the buzzing kind).

Machinarium is the award-winning independent adventure game developed by the makers of Samorost series, Botanicula and CHUCHEL. “Nothing seemed to fit.” So he put it aside and started working on something else. In the game, “there’s a hole in the tree with a mouse, and I really didn’t know what I could record there,” says Jan. While many of these mouth-made sounds they spit out intentionally, others occurred purely by accident. Need a bug flitting its wings? How about a long, sustained fthththththt like a fly buzzing too close to your ear. Machinarium's design and riddle logic is very mechanical although very cute and agitating (especially to the end), whereas Botanicula is more an interactive sensorical experience to me, with its riddles being just kind of a side effect of the living world around you.

The indie game-maker had a track record in 2009 they released a point-and-click puzzle game called Machinarium that won them heaps of awards and a dedicated fan base. When Amanita Design released Botanicula earlier this year, fans knew the game was going to be good.
