Holy heck, I loved Machinarium. I loved it for its art, and for its difficult puzzles and inventive hint system. And I loved it for Tomas Dvorakās spacious, hugely evocative musical score.
The track above is the first tune to play in the game, and itās very much the moment when the game āreveals itselfā to the player. The rest of the soundtrack steps in and conveys a huge amount of the gameās heartāthe charming cartoons and art tell the story of the robots, but the music tells the story of the land, a desolate and yet still beautiful place.
It also reminds me of Bruno Coulaisā music from Coraline, which, well, you could do a hell of a lot worse.
Oh hell, hereās a song from Coraline:
Awesome.
