I wish my garden was this strange and fun!!!
Another triumph of art and fun!!! Excellent play... fine artistry. So wonderful!!! We need more games like this and less spaceships, guns and hurting. This game and the whole series are oldtime fun.
Frustrating
I read a lot of the reviews before spending $10. Iām not stupid nor a new gamer, but I found this game frustating. If you get stuck, there should be some help. There are no instructions at all. I love puzzle games, but within a half hour I felt like I wasted my money. Update: I found a walkthrough online, but Iām still annoyed that I had to resort to that.
Worth it for kids
A little too short, the interaction with the game is pretty limited but that gives the minimalistic touch. Is a good game with very good music, nice story and sometimes gets pretty challenging. It was a good experience that did not last long.
Natural interaction with beautiful world
I purchased this game as I loved 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. In many ways I think Botanicula is a great complement to Machinarium. Machinarium has great logical puzzles that make sense and have a very logical sense to them, which goes with the theme of the robots and industrial city, etc.. I fell in love the first time I played it. These developers took a great risk to move away from that formula and in Botanicula to bring a lighter more natural interaction and exploration of your environment with many different creatures. It is very fitting to have the more organic puzzels and thinking with this game being based around creatures and plants. If you buy in to the first scene and realize that your team of creatures are the last hope for this dying world being sucked away by a āblackholeā creature, this game can reveal a lot of beauty. Play this game if you just want a few minutes or hours of happiness in your day. Play this game if you want some sense that living beings of many different shapes and sizes and colors can work towards overcoming destruction. Thank you for brining this game to us! I thouroughly enjoyed it and it made me smile.
Yes
It was yes.
The puzzle design is not that good.
I love Machinarium, thatās why I bought this game in the first place. However comparing to Machinarium, the puzzle disgned here is not that good. Instead of brilliant puzzles, I need to spend a lot of time finding itmes in maze. There is a simple map, but you canāt click on it and get where you want to go. Since the maze have so much crossings and you would lost direction easily, I really hope they can provide a map which could acturally work. The art is full of design, but itās just not my style. Some creatures in the game are just creepyā¦. I remembered a creature looks like a baby head, with many spike-shape humps on itās faceā¦..I just donāt get it. If you expect the same quality as Machinarium, you may get disappointed.
Great gameā¦I think Iāll play it again!
This game kept my mind busy and my spirit soaring. So many happy moments where the characters each have their time to shine. Amazing how much these guys have done to build a storyā¦.with no words! Keep it up! So happy I bought this after Machinarium!
