Little Nightmares vs Machinarium
Little Nightmares
Little Nightmares is a dark and atmospheric puzzle-adventure game that has a rather nice Tim Burton style and vibe, as well as a really deep story that will force you to figure it out by making connections between the many symbolisms in the game. In this game, you play as a yellow-hooded child called Six who happened to be trapped in a nightmare called the Maw. You'll need to help Six escape from the terrifying place at any cost!Little Nightmares has a really amazing feeling overall, but it has quite a number of flaws. The controls for instance is incredibly clunky, resulting in more deaths than necessary frankly. The game's autosave points are too rare and far in between, making the game rather frustrating to play at times. Of course, the most important of all, the game has a fairly short adventure and thus, the price it is asking for might just be a bit too expensive. But if you do want to try this game, you may want to buy the game during a promotion.
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.
