Opus Magnum

GOOD

A solid puzzle game. At first glance it seems to be very simplistic (especially compared to other Zachtronics games) but about half way through the main story the difficulty and complexity starts ramping up exponentially. On almost every puzzle I've found myself, having already completed the objective, tweaking and fixing my creations for lower cost and greater efficiency. There is no extra reward for doing so (as far as I've seen) but tweaking the lines of code or layout is so easy and fun that it happened anyway. The story starts out very light, mixing up hair gels or makeup, but takes a pretty dark turn that caught me by surprise and had me pretty invested with the outcome. The game's steampunk aesthetic matches the fantasy-alchemy gameplay very well and, for a game where you spend 98% of the time looking at the puzzle interface, the world has a good bit of depth and lore to it as well. So far no technical issues at all (running on windows 10)
