The first is a free-floating cursor and the other is a cursor that will snap to hotspots on the screen. Sadly, the controls were my only serious issue with the game. It’s pretty standard fare as far as adventure games go where you click to walk around and interact with objects to solve mechanical and environmental puzzles to access new areas.
The game would grind to a halt on occasion when a troublesome puzzle blocked my progress, or the irksome controls ruined my flow.Īrmikrog tells the tale of Tommynaut and his blind dog, Beak-Beak as they crash on an alien planet and must explore an ancient temple to find a way off the planet and maybe rescue a baby in the process. The entire experience of playing Armikrog was a bit of a rollercoaster with an exhilarating opening movie that showcased some outstanding Claymation skills before dropping me into a standard 2D side-scrolling adventure game. So how well does a point-n-click adventure game work on a console and gamepad? Not as good as I had hoped, sadly. 3/10.Armikrog has been out on the PC for quite some time now but today marks its debut on the PlayStation 4. You might want to spit the baby upon a pike and break the dog's legs before leaving it in a graveyard but the game offers no Platinum trophy so you can happily bale whenever you feel like it.
It quickly becomes obvious that nothing like as much work went into it as you might expect for a stop-motion animation (there's a lot of model railway furze, folded-up corrugated cardboard, and just black empty screen, along with some pretty slapdash clay robots and whatnot) but the colours are bright and cheery and you probably won't beg your partner to put you out of your misery while playing it. the icons needed for the pink room puzzle) but nowhere near enough to make you want to re-play it. There is a little bit of randomness (e.g. It's approximately charming, graphically, but the dialogue is shockingly bad, the characters are barely one-dimensional, the music is pretty poor, the puzzles are out of whack (one of them relies on the colours of the seals on the declaration of independANTZ and it just doesn't match up), the controls (even with the little touchpad thing) are terrible and really should have been attended to before launch, and the makers obviously couldn't be bothered making the ending look anything like finished.
It's approximately charming, graphically, but the dialogue is shockingly bad, the characters are barely OK, it is not brilliant.
