Machinarium

Love it but I seriously cannot stand the fact that nothing is skippable and cut scenes and movements take up a lot of time. I have been trying to finish this game for months but a bug led me to having to restart the game completely multiple times (which was kinda tedious since it doesn't have a lot of replay value). Overall the aesthetic and music are amazing but oh boy do I wish I could just skip some parts. (Plus the chess npc is just downright op and I had to match it against a hard AI)

I wanted to give this game 5 stars. I played it on the PS Vita years ago and it's a great point and click puzzle game. Sadly, it does not play well at all on my mobile. The touchscreen controls are intermittently unresponsive and the cursor option is not much better. It leaves the whole experience frustrating - especially with this kind of game when you are left wondering if you have the correct solution but the controls are not responding. Disappointing. Play the demo first and check it works.

An adorable game with a sweet storyline! The puzzles were entertaining, and I love that you can play a mini game for a one-page walkthrough if needed. My only issue was that some spots were very particular about where to tap, so if you're fat fingered (like me), you might find yourself occasionally wondering if the game glitched on you or you're missing something. A quick Google search revealed I wasn't alone and just hadn't tapped in the exact right spot.
