Cookie Jam vs Machinarium
Cookie Jam
Cookie Jam is one of the few but popular match-3 puzzle game that has a following that rivals that of any games from King. Developed by Jam City, Cookie Jam provides the fun match-3 gameplay you'd expect from a... well, match-3 game but interestingly, you'll actually be matching sweet desserts that match the orders you receive from your customers. The game also offers varying challenges, which mostly include obstacles set up by the delinquent gingerbread man with some rather special level goals to achieve too.Cookie Jam's shot to fame can be mainly credited to its unique level goals and challenges but the game has put in some serious effort in making each level as engaging as the one before. If you're looking for something other than a Saga game to play, we would strongly recommend Cookie Jam.
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.
