Critic Reviews
Armikrog Review
A wonderful claymation art style and a unique soundtrack aren’t enough to save this point-and-click adventure from its own monotonous puzzles and uninteresting story.

Armikrogs memory puzzles and tenuous humour are a low point in the adventure game renaissance.

There is so much squandered potential in Armikrog it hurts. The voice acting is great, but there's not enough of it; the visuals and animations are superb, but let down by repeated puzzles. Pencil Test Studios has created a fantastic claymation setting and fun characters, but in terms of gameplay it sticks too closely to the old-school point and click formula for its own good. Fans of the genre may get a kick out of the old fashioned style, but beyond a well-realised stop motion aesthetic, there's little here for anyone else.
