The makers of Machinarium have come up with a new game: Botanicula. I have a fondness for Adventure Games, and I quite liked Machinarium, although all the point-and-clicking did get a bit tedious at times.
With Botanicula, although it’s also a point-and-click game, it never got tedious. That’s probably because of the strength of the story, the game’s charm and its inventiveness. Playing the game brought a smile to my face, as well as a couple of laugh out loud moments.
The story is a quest of five unlikely heroes, and their attempt to plant a new tree.
They travel through fantastical landscapes and meet with over one hundred bizarre creatures.
Highly recommended.
I too love adventure games Geoff, so thanks for this post I will try this game out.
I think you’ll like it, TG. It’s full of wit and charm.
