I have all these terrible games, and yet I never actually play games, because I have too many to choose from and spend my time reading the list. What game should I be playing?

Just kept it running 24/7. So it was only 2 or 3 weeks of clicking a few things when I woke up and before bed.

Go play Machinarium, OP. It's nice.

Almost 400mb? What the gently caress. This better be good.

I feel this is a pixel hunt. Kinda in the same vein as the xfiles game.

it's an adventure game. there are puzzles, and pleasant music and animations in a hand-drawn style.

I don't know what the xfiles game is.

There was an x-files adventure game and it was basically slowly move your cursor over every part of the screen to find what you needed.

Machinarium suffers from serious adventure game design problems. Most notably puzzles make no loving sense and there's no clues (aside from the hint button/cheat sheet game). The art is pretty sweet though.

Basically I've bought a bunch of bundles with 10+ games, and only 1 game I'd consider playing in them. Then never played the 1 game I wanted to play. This is the travesty of bundles.

Don't own it :( might "play" machinarium through in the same way I played grim fandango. Walk through at my side.

I beat Myst without one. The puzzles in that are logical. Grim, and many others are obtuse with rear end backwards solutions. There should be intuitive solutions not just click on everything looking for that pixel you missed or trail and erroring a solution.

Machinarium has a built-in hint system though.

Doesn't excuse lazy design of puzzles.

I will after work. I did dick around with it for a bit. I do feel there is a rewarding experience locked away behind the horrors of amateur hour ui and programming. I'm willing to bet the documentation isn't much better. Here's hoping. Will post pics at some point.

Maybe it's designed for autists?

I do not own it. I don't really need to add more games. If it's ever in a bundle I get , I'll check it out.

I am going through and giving TES a serious go. I have opted for an all canadian pro wrestling club. Good news, we have an F rating in the Maritimes.

You should re-evaluate your diet.
