Sunday Comics: Dead Island I think that Botanicula, the new game from Machinarium indies Amanita Design, is freakin’ wonderful. I already wrote about why I like it, so read that if you’re wondering about the game. Short version: if you have a heart and like lovely and funny things, you should play it.
Holy heck, I loved Machinarium. I loved it for its art, and for its difficult puzzles and inventive hint system. And I loved it for Tomas Dvorak’s spacious, hugely evocative musical score.
Man, I want to play Botanicula. Amanita Design won me over forever with their splendid adventure game Machinarium, and I’ve been looking forward to its follow-up Botanicula ever since I first heard about it.
Machinarium – an adventure game we like very much – is headed to the Wii via its WiiWare service. Release date TBA. Yay!
