Machinarium has already had outstanding reviews in the gaming press Euro Gamer rated it 8 / 10 -“Every screen is a new delight, twisted cityscapes and quasi-industrial interiors contrasting beautifully with geriatric robots and the bumbling malcontents whose bullying mischief provide the necessary antagonism to sedately shuffle the story along” Euro gamer August 2009.
