In many ways I think Botanicula is a great complement to Machinarium.

There was no expectation that Botanicula would be like Machinarium but I wanted to give it a try as it was developed by the same group.

I purchased this game as I loved Machinarium. If shoot-'em-up is not your style, and you're looking for a puzzle game that is like nothing else you've seen, this is the game. The scenery is exquisitely beautiful, the colors rich and saturated, the interface easy to figure out with a satisfying number of totally unique puzzles, and the soundtrack is so much fun I went and bought it from iTunes as soon as I'd finished the game. The creatures are delightful, surprising, occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, and always touchingly sweet and innocent (which is something of a hallmark for Amanita Designs' work - I also recommend Machinarium unequivocally). Botanicula does this in spades the entire universe the game is set in is completely alien, and must be explored and interacted with to yield understanding. But every now and then, when I need a break from thesis-writing, I look for games that can tell me stories, that can engage other parts of my brain in creative and refreshing ways. I'll admit it: I'm not much of a gamer, these days. More than 150 detailed locations to explore. Relaxed game perfect for hard core gamers, their partners, families and seniors. * A bold, bright, and brilliant adventure. * Botanicula is so damned good that it probably won't even wind up on Metacritic. * IGM Readers' Choice Award in Best Sound / Music * IndieCade: Best Story/World Design Award Botanicula is a humor-filled adventure game from Amanita Design, creators of award-winning Machinarium and Samorost series, and Czech band DVA.įive friends, little tree creatures, set out on a journey to save the last seed from their home tree which is infested by evil parasites.
