Do not you think that lately, despite the variety of innovations, the gaming market for something missing? Something, they will not have to shoot, or a regiment. Where there is no need to gain experience to improve, they will not have to show a reaction to infinity hammering the mouse button. Something with which you could just sit down one evening with a bottle of beer (who does not drink, can take the juice), to think, to rejoice or laugh from the heart of the puzzle. Yes, I'm talking about ordinary puzzle.
And so, not so long ago, to my inexpressible joy, our shops have a new part of the well-known The Incredible Machine. Of course, I could not pass by such little things and decided to get to know her better. Lengthy process of acquaintance with The Incredible Machine: Contraptions showed that over the past year, developers have not invented anything new, but simply made a "well-forgotten old". Most of the units, appliances and devices are familiar to us almost since 1992. All puzzles are painfully recognizable. And it's no wonder the developers is not changed. Graphics? And she perfected over the years, nothing new here you can imagine, so that everything remains the same as last game. It should be noted that added a significant amount of tunes. Sound? All too recognizable. How to become a tradition since ancient times in the TIM, creates a feeling that the voice acting for the game picking up a random number generator. All styles and all directions. But, oddly enough, the music is even suited to the puzzle.
However, one general innovation still exists! We have the opportunity to send over the Internet our invention. Ie inventing some gizmo (incidentally, contraptions translated as gizmos) can easily bewilder her a friend. Although, frankly, it was possible even in prehistoric times. Just then there was Daddy with your inventions. And throw the file on the Internet, we were always able to. Added a significant number of puzzles, but as I said, all of them are familiar to us from childhood. And yet so many of them had enough with interest at 20 hours (and even then an experienced player, and inexperienced to sit and sit).
I would not blame Sierra'u because it releases a new game, with a new name, but with an old filling. Not that it is a sin. In addition, the game was done solidly, with kindness. Hands of developers grow from the right places.We do not often indulge similar games, so we could quietly turn away and walk past The Incredible Machine: Sontraptions. And the new puzzles to solve as much fun. It's no joke to say, I could not tear myself away from the screen, five hours after purchasing the game. So this game is definitely worth your attention. Yes, for those who are first confronted with a series of The Incredible Machine, there is a tutorial consisting of simple puzzles which give a general idea of the game.
Go for it, Einstein!
PS For those who have not met with a series of The Incredible Machine, remind. The essence of the game is to perform some standard problem of non-standard way. For example, zapulit ball into the basket with: mouse (alive), cheese, boxing gloves, two lasers, four mirrors, a cat (also live), sockets and the ball itself. The game requires no dyuzhey ingenuity and cleverness. In general, the words to describe it hard. I will say this: who is not afraid that his brain to overheat, must necessarily play The Incredible Machine: Sontraptions.
