8. Machinarium

 Machinarium Walkthrough

A real puzzler, machinarium is one of the only games on this list with a robotic protagonist. Josef, who discovers a plot to destroy the city. Help him thwart the evil Black Cap Brotherhood through a series of puzzles that grow increasingly harder to solve as you move through the game.

Solve puzzles to advance throughout the world, but use your hints sparingly. There are only limited clues, and the brain teasers get more complex as you go!

Joining Josef is Berta, another robot forced to work for the sinister Brotherhood. Follow their journey together and watch their relationship grow, all without dialogue.
