Got this for Mila as a christmas present. She's been playing the demo since it was released a while back and loves it. Also the guys from The Besties absolutely rave about it as a game you can play with your kids so...fingers crossed.
I loved Exapunks so much and I wanted more. Shenzhen I/O was just added to PC Game Pass today, but it seems it's recommended to play TIS-100 before Shenzhen I/O, or it might be hard to go back to this, so that's what I'm gonna do.
Exapunks
Now I've beat TWO Zachtronics games! (Opus Magnum was the other.)
This game is so awesome. The way you're actually coding these little machines to go do your bidding, and hacking together really complex behaviors from really limited machines is just so satisfying. It also has the normal Zachtronics thing of it being really freeform. You're not so much finding the solution to each puzzle as you are designing a solution to the problem before you. It's so great.
Grade: A+
Maybe I should go back and give SpaceChem another try...
