Zachtronics is my jam, and jam is good
MOLEK-SYNTEZ is definitely a Zachtronics game, and if you've followed their many other puzzle games then this game is going to be familiar. If you know Zachtronic's catalogue, then MOLEK-SYNTEZ is to Opus Magnum (or SpaceChem) what TIS-100 is to EXAPUNKS; a smaller sort of experimental title with minimalist visuals and no explicit tutorial, something to fit a particular niche. This is a game about pushing around and combine molecules to make drugs, but it's less about solving these particular chemical problems, and more about figuring out how to communicate these solutions to a machine (or, if you like, expressing these solutions using the machine). You aren't going to need to think at all about formulas and that, and instead your spatial senses and your ability to explore the constraints in front of you are key. The difficulty curve is well constructed and made to challenge, particularly if you want to optimize your solutions -- it'll slowly throw things at you to see if you've learned everything you should, to try and break you out of patterns that won't work later down the line. It comes with a degree of frustration, and like the many Zachtronics games before this I don't expect myself to beat it, but like always these are great puzzles. You'll learn a lot as you go along -- it's always fun to go back and rework your first solutions -- and you'll be pushed outside your comfort zone, but the shifts are always gradual. It's one of the smaller games from the Zachtronics catalogue, as stated earlier, and the price reflects that. I think it has a solid number of puzzles to fit the exploration of the game's mechanics and theme, and it works well against its own constraints. It's not for everybody, but I think everybody should try a game like this at least once. If you've never played a Zachtronics game, or you've been away from them a little while, have some fun doing some problem-solving for yourself over a weekend.
