Antichamber vs Machinarium
Antichamber
Antichamber is the sort of game you'll want to play if you have a strong appreciation for MC Escher's mind-bending worlds and you have always imagine what it'd feel like to be in one of these worlds. Being an almost impossible puzzle game where hallways wrap around each other and spaces rearrange themselves, the game aims to push you out of your comfort zone and make you question how the game work (Hint: there is no permanent set of rules in this game and eveything you know can be changed). With your trusty gun in hand, you will need to create, destroy and manipulate the very matter itself to solve the puzzles you get and move on to the next stage.Antichamber is a puzzle game that's unlike any other. If you enjoy getting your mind blown wide open, this is the type of game you'll want to play... guaranteed!
Machinarium
Machinarium is an award-winning, puzzle-adventure game where you'll need to help Josef the robot rescue his equally robotic girlfriend Berta from the Black Cap Brotherhood gang. The game features plenty of logic-based puzzles along with a nice smattering of mini-games and adventure-based quests. The hand-drawn art style used in this game is perfectly apt for the overall theme of the game as well. Couple that with an epic soundtrack and you'll get a level of immersion that you might have never experienced before (or perhaps rarely) in a puzzle-adventure game. At the end, you'll actually feel for Josef himself.So, if you're up for a rather depressing and yet heartwarming puzzle-adventure game that will give your brain a run for its money, this is definitely the game to buy. If you get the chance, you should really try it.
