SpaceChem is currently $2.50 on steam. I picked it up because I've never played a Zachtronics game before. Despite the trailer looking stupid, I have been blown away so far.
- NoodleIncident 7y agoInfinifactory is also $5, and it might be a better introduction to the Zachtronics genre for most people.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoThis is subjective, of course, but I think SpaceChem is actually ranks at best middle-tier compared to other Zachtronics titles. Opus Magnum > TIS-100 > Exapunks > SpaceChem > Infinifactory > Shenzen I/O
- umvi 7y agoI watched the trailer for opus magnum, and it basically looks identical to SpaceChem, just on a hex grid with better graphics?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoIt's quite different. In SpaceChem the space is limited, the number of instructions is limited (because the instructions share the physical space), and you can only have 2 parallel operations. Opus magnum has an unlimited space, unlimited instructions, and unlimited parallel operations. The similarity is just that they're both about linking elements to form shapes.
