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.
