Machinarium’s visual charm has not been diminished by its three-year journey from PC to PS3.

The game’s non-widescreen aspect ratio looks less stylised and more pronounced on a TV, and for the awards that Machinarium has garnered for its visual style, it’s a real shame that Amanita didn’t add an in-game art gallery or the series of concept art that was included in the PC Collector’s Edition to help further illustrate how it made a metallic world feel alive.

Unsurprisingly, this stems largely from the controls, which while adequate cannot hope to match the ease of use and precision of a mouse (although when you stumble into an old video game arcade, you’ll be glad of the PS3 controller’s left stick). Amanita Design has done a sterling job of adapting the PC-centric Machinarium for PS3, but the claim on its PS Store page that it’s the best ever version of Machinarium is misplaced.
#MACHINARIUM ARCADE 2 HOW TO#
Everything in Machinarium does make sense and your brain will fathom it eventually, it just needs time to remember how to digest the intellectual meal that sits before it. A friendly word of warning, though: refrain from reaching for that guide book too soon. The walkthrough is held under lock and key that requires completion of an arcade mini-game to gain access to, while its step-by-step solutions mean you need peek only at the next step to get Bob moving again.

These hints can sometimes be too vague or refer to a goal too obvious to be entirely helpful but there’s also a full walkthrough included for when you’re entirely flummoxed. When you are stumped for how to progress, a hint system can be called upon to have Bob reveal a single, succinct thought-bubble visualisation of what his next goal in that area should be. The narrative puzzles provide moments of levity and visual entertainment but it’s the logic puzzles that really tax the grey matter and here that the ability to hold any of the shoulder buttons to zoom in on finer details is at its most useful. It’s further aided by a streamlined inventory: Bob never carries more than he needs and he never needs more than a handful of items.
Machinarium’s world is crafted such that Bob only ever has four or five single-screen locations to navigate and solve puzzles in at any one time, which makes it comfortable to manage the situational puzzles that require a chain of progressive actions to be completed.
Leave Bob alone for long enough and his idling animations will often raise a smile, while the thought-bubble memories depicting the simple pleasure of time spent with his absent female companion are beguiling and endearing.
The method of environment interaction further focuses you on the intelligent level design and gorgeous hand-drawn visuals (which earned the Excellence in Visual Art award at the Independent Game Festival), while canny audio production mixes a superb ambient soundtrack with subtle game play cues. Amanita’s answer draws you further into its world as you observe the scene laid out before you, rather than mindlessly looking without seeing. Where the catch-all method of cursor-casting is intended to reduce frustration, it only ever succeeds in promoting boredom and breaking immersion. More proactive than that, though, it promotes a considered examination of Amanita Design’s game world as you pore over its hand-drawn vistas and then move to a point of interest to deliver that genre defining click. Primarily, it eliminates the sad and tiresome act of flailing the cursor this way and that across the screen, waiting for it to transform into that telltale hand of interactivity. Crucially, only items within Bob’s modest reach will reveal themselves to be interactive and it’s this one, small game play consideration that does so much to shape Machinarium’s identity. Bob’s primary method of righting the wrongs of his world is to stand near items of interest, screen furniture and fellow robots and prod at them inquisitively.
