Opus Magnum

My favorite Zachtronics game... super fun to tinker with solutions and optimize, but doesn't feel like work as much as some of the other games do.

It's a devilish puzzle game that really pushes your spatial reasoning to the max, and funnily enough, this is also the easiest Zachtronic game of the bunch. You have to transport atoms, link atoms, unlink atoms, transform atoms, destroy atoms... You play as a freshly graduated alchemist who uses a transmutation engine to create various kinds of materials and substances to fulfill various requests, or to test himself to see how far he can go testing the limits of alchemy. The story wasn't special, but it was enjoyable. The real deal comes with the extra challenges once you finish the main story. Unlike other Zachtronic games, such as Exapunks or Shenzhen I/O, this doesn't require reading manuals to get into action (and it doesn't feel like a job either). Also, it doesn't have Solitaire; instead, it has a marble color-match labyrinth, which is surprisingly addictive. And like the other games, it comes with Workshop support for custom puzzles, and the community likes to test if you can create real-life particles like adhesives or explosives. Customer satisfaction: 8/10

Einfach zu verstehen aber schwierig zu meistern beschreibt die meisten Games von Zachtronics sehr gut, genauso wie dieses. Mein Favorit ist immer noch Space Chem, aber auch diese Game macht alles richtig und macht irre viel Spaß.

機械構造をひたすら追求するのが好きな人はきっとハマる。 ただしカジュアルゲーマーで目に見えるご褒美の欲しいタイプである自分にはNot for meでした。 ひたすら数式を眺めているような感じで、ちょっとビジュアル的に地味すぎました。 せっかく錬金術で魔法的な変性をしているのだから、もっと視覚的に分かりやすく成果を見せてほしかったなあと思います。

Muy buen juego de puzzle/logica basado en mecanismos y ordenes, la verdad me vuela la cabeza resolver algunos acertijos del jego, encima tiene mapas en la steam worshop lo cual alarga la vida util del juego cuando ya te pasas la campaña principal. 10/10

Spent more time playing the minigame than the actual game. 10/10, would buy this game for Sigmar's Garden again.
