Armikrog Reviews
Wait and hope for some major patches for now, but even then Armikrog still won't feel actually finished. Shame.
Provided you don't get hung up by myriad design problems or a progress-halting bug, Armikrog is a monotonous and overly simplistic adventure
As a spiritual successor to The Neverhood, the game succeeds on all levels, but somehow I don't think it will gain the same kind of cult following this time.
A unique puzzle game that evokes the difficulty and story-telling of yesteryear
Thank God for Kickstarter which helped to create this graphically beautiful and funny game. Older players will reminiscence of their childhood and remember the hours spent on Neverhood, the younger ones may discover a great, and a bit forgotten, genre of point & click adventure games.

Armikrog is a beautiful and challenging adventure that suffers from game breaking glitches. Fans of the genre and The Neverhood may tough it out, but most will be turned away until these bugs are fixed.
Armikrog brings back many old problems and mixes them with new ones as well, occasionally distracting from what is otherwise a funny and beautiful game.
Ultimately, Armikrog is a failure, but it's not a failure that is supposed to be hated with a fiery passion or forgotten about. If Pencil Test Studios learn their lesson, it can be a launching point for a better game that fully realizes their potential. For the player though, the best choice would be to stick with good, old Neverhood.
There's a chance the bugs could be patched out, although this really is in a sort of Arkham Knight place where pulling it and finishing it is the better option. But even if it ran without constantly breaking, it would still be a really dreadful adventure game. A gorgeous one – some of the most lovely animation I've ever seen in a game – but just so poor.
Armikrog is a fun and quirky point-and-click adventure game with unfortunately dated mechanics.
