Machinika: Museum

I cannot recommend this game, now or ever. It has so many bugs where you'll do something, nothing happens, and then you look at the video guides for the solution. Unfortunately the solution will probably be what you just did, only yours didn't work because a cutscene didn't play like it should have. I had to restart the game multiple times simply because a solution wasn't being accepted. This happened on the "Rock" Polyhedral Circuit Pathways, the "Engine" Steam Pipe cutscene after endoscoping, among others.

Are you the kind that has the basic question "Hmm, i wonder what this button does..." and presses it? This could be your game! A basic knowledge of mechacnis and physics is not wrong for attempting to beat this game, but mine were also in "a previous life" and the game was solvable, so... seems it is not compulsory! It is a nice little short game, where the player has to explore the function of certain alien objects. The story is (although it is rather on the background) well thought through. Even the use of the multitool was rather intuitive, here it helps if one has a basic understanding of geometry (again: not required, I think). The graphics are amazing for this little game and help a lot to solve the game. Yes, can recommend it!

graphics are ok-ish and sometimes even ugly and the "story" is delivered as text only. the puzzles are simple & easy to solve and while they are connected by the story (if you want to call it even that) they are isolated when it comes to gameplay. it really does feel like a mobile game but at least it's reasonably piced and i didn't encounter any serious problems while playing. however even what little "story" there is goes nowhere since it points at the next game but 5 years later there's no "next game" to be seen. completing the game took 3 1/2 hours without outside help and i'm fine with that. it's good enough for a rainy sunday but you really should check out the [i]the room[/i] series of games if you haven't already. they are superior in every aspect! you can read my review of the first [i]the room[/i] game here: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Meister_Leuchte/recommended/288160/

Within the second chapter I encountered two separate bugs that meant restarting the chapter. Really, really poorly done mobile port.

Классная игра с приятной научно-фантастической атмосферой и реально интересными инопланетными механизмами. Хотелось бы и себе такие же устройства на дом, и на Новый год есть бесконечное оливье.

Приятная и лёгкая головоломка на часа два.

还不错的解密甜品，剧情几乎可以说是没有

Machinika: Museum is a really cool little puzzle game with a great atmosphere. You basically examine and solve alien machines piece by piece, and it has that satisfying “figuring it out yourself” feeling when everything clicks. The visuals and design are really well done, and the whole game has a calm, mysterious vibe that makes you want to keep going. I honestly barely struggled with the puzzles — and even when I did, I always managed to figure it out pretty quickly without needing to look anything up. It’s not a super long or complex game, but it’s a nice, relaxing experience if you like solving mechanical-style puzzles and slowly uncovering how things work. Simple, clean, and satisfying.

очень классные и нестандартные загадки, в целом было интересно рассматривать вещи но из за сложности становится немного скучно
