Without a mouse or visual clues to hotspots the snapping cursor is ideally your best bet until you get to any of the half-dozen puzzles that require you to rotate a central wheel to move around sliding tiles into any of four slots. 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. Armikrog has been out on the PC for quite some time now but today marks its debut on the PlayStation 4.
