Again with the puzzles. Just because you don't NEED to think your way through Samorost, that doesn't mean they aren't puzzles. You can randomly click your way through a slider puzzle, too. It's still a puzzle. Whether you choose to think your way through them is up to you.

Like I said, you're complaining about our scoring, when really your gripe is that Samorost doesn't fit your description of an adventure. Which is fine. But it does fit ours, and we graded it the same way we'd grade any other adventure: based on its own qualities, not what it SHOULD have included to be more like every other game out there.

As for being original, well, by all means please let us know of other games that are similar. We just might like those, too. Originality is rarely about doing things never done before, but doing things in a unique way.
