This seems so far like a continuation to Opus Magnum with a different setting which is good because I was way too dumb for Exapunks

edit: Still dumb for Opus Magnum but at least it's like comprehensible to me

It's very cool but I think the hard part for me is having a limited space to do your solutions in as opposed to the infinite play fields of Opus Magnum . The new solitaire game is also epic

Anyone that's about puzzles with some weird aesthetic. His website seems to only have his commercial games listed, but The Codex of Alchemical Engineering, KOHCTPYKTOP and TIS-100 are all very good.

Infinifactory is a lot like spacechem but because you can move in 3D you have more options for getting out of jams so most of the game is easier (until it gets really hard at the end). It's a great game.

My personal favorite is SHENZHEN I/O but that's a programing game that comes with a manual so it might not be for you lol.

Opus Magnum is an alchemy game that feels a more like watchmaking and less like programing than spacechem. It's really easy to dive into as zach games go and pretty polished.

Opus Magnum is the most fun I’ve had with a puzzle game for a long time. I’ve been meaning to try some Zachtronics games. I am glad I finally did.

I also got Stephens Sausage Roll since it was like 75% off in the last sale and it's maybe the worst a puzzle game has ever made me feel.

drat I played DROD in middle school a little bit but totally forgot about it . What's the good one to get into? there's a bunch of them now. And Stephen's is kind of ok at first when it's just pushing things and rotation but once you get into like vertical movement and skewering stuff it's way out of my league

drod 2 (Journey to Rooted Hold), 3 (The City Beneath), and 5 (The Second Sky) are a trilogy, in both story and ramping difficulty
4 (Gunthro and the Epic Blunder) was made for noobs, and its ok, but i think 2 is a fine starting point and one of my favorite games ever

1, 2, and 3 are sold as dlc for 4 on steam so youd need to buy 4 anyway

they all go on good steam sales
