MODERATORS
EXAPUNK - 50% - 96% Positive
If you like old time puzzle games, and have a pinch for programming, then you will love this. In this game you control bots by creating algorithms to extract data and other challenges. The cool part is you must study the game language and learn the lore from manuals and magazines that the game provides.
SHENZHEN I/O - 50% - 93% Positive
From the same creator of EXAPUNK, only the thematic here is electronics.
Road 96 - 50% 91% Positive
Summer 1996, Today is the day! You hit the road. Adventure. Freedom. Escape. Run. Flee the Regime. Try to survive.
On this risky road trip to the border, you’ll meet incredible characters, and discover their intertwined stories and secrets in an ever-evolving adventure. But every mile opens up a choice to make. Your decisions will change your adventure, change the people you meet, maybe even change the world.
Shenzhen I/O is one of my favorite games, along with TIS-100. I think it's time to just dive in and go through the rest of the zacktronic games.
It's worth noting that EXAPUNKS is substantially easier than Shenzhen I/O. I actually preferred it though because experimenting with different strategies to increase speed was more fun to me than, say, beating my head against kelp harvesting robot.
Not quite the same thing as Exapunk/Shenzhen but Duskers gives me those vibes too. Maybe worth a look if you don't know it already.
I really really love duskers. Just beware that there...
spoiler
basically just isn't an ending.Road 96 was so much fun! Definitely worth it at that price.
Zachtronics games are great. ^Especially their solitaires...^
They are. I was hooked on SpaceChem long ago and since then I've bought all of them (even Infinifactory ~~despite the lack of solitaire~~)
I'd recommend Silicon Zeroes too, not by Zach Barth but in very much the same genre and well made too.
