Opus Magnum Review

[@hanswang7891]

"He asked for a courage potion." "Oh. I made him alcohol. He seems to be convinced."

[@mennoltvanalten7260]

Oh yeah, some of the alchemist solutions to problems are so funny. There are also a lot of cases where I thought 'wouldn't you be able to just... find this material?'

[@davicossamuel1911]

@@mennoltvanalten7260 or just buy it at the nearest store?

[@DJruslan4ic]

@@davicossamuel1911 Anotay is just so into alchemy that he would rather make toilet paper himself when he had run out and need to go than just buying it lol

[@karlsnilsson]

i totally love numbers and data, so i completely get it, but "after completing a level, you get to see bar graphs' is like the funniest thing ive ever heard said so gleefully in a review

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

The fact it's IGN and such a nasal shrill voice saying it cements it as hilarious. This could only be funnier if he also referenced a trilby versus fedora preference, and his Reddit account.

[@clarisrichter7966]

Friendly competition? FRIENDLY COMPETITION?!?! What do you mean friendly competition. I'm sleep deprived and irritable, but I must optimize my build. I must be the best! I cannot be outdone by my friends

[@louisyong5726]

stop watching this video and go buy it right now, this is one of the greatest pc game in this year

[@rajed]

Louis Yong then how come it wasn’t on the GOTY list?

[@louisyong5726]

Most media just finished reviewing it, I can't see they nominate a game that they didn't even review.

[@nostromer]

another masterpiece by Zachtronics. Dude is a genius game developer in a puzzle league of his own...

[@amariokart]

Legit never heard of this before but it got a 9.5/10, must be good?

[@grapeshott]

Got a overwhelmingly positive review on Steam

[@doom453]

amariokart Yeah but mainly if your into puzzle games

[@mythiixthemajin2324]

it came out last week .

[@bizzy50]

WHAT IS THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC?

[@idunno402]

This game was made by the same person who made Infiniminer, the game that inspired Minecraft alongside Dwarf Fortress.

[@shannonparkhill5557]

it has an unbelievably high rating on steam, higher than I've ever seen at 98%

[@S-krill-ex]

In one of the puzzles, the target is to make a “stamina potion” (Viagra)

[@Peterplayingguitar]

This looks like "game cocaine". e.g, a game that is addictive and has virtually endless replay value. For example, Portal 2.

[@henriquefinger935]

Oh boy you gonna love Factorio. Aka digital crack cocaine.

[@leifashley]

I usually don't care for games like this, but this looks amazing

[@angelagyselinck259]

Mad Max's car.

[@NeoLithiumCat]

So most of this is also true of SpaceChem, but Opus Magnum is definitely a refinement of that design with lots of QoL improvements

[@gemstonegynoid7475]

and also a refinement of the codex of alchemical engineering

[@Whitecroc]

SpaceChem is a considerably more complex game. It's also worth playing but you're unlikely to finish it unless you're really into that kind of game.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Few games that makes you feel stupid and you still love it.

[@kingsiracha4565]

ironically enough ign gave a 9.5 for a rating and they now have 9.5 million subscribers

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

A peak skinner box for those of us with a touch of the tism.

[@nominatorchris5591]

Why not give this a 10 instead of 9.5, The only complaint I heard was that the campaign was not long.

[@vcf619]

Grammar Police It doesnt need to have a negartive point! Imagine two games are just like each other in every category! But one is just more fun! Both games are great without any problem...one gets a 9.5 and other 10!

[@artman40]

However, reviewer forgot to mention extra journal + which gives 20 more puzzles and appendix that gives several space-limited puzzles. 1 or 2 extra chapters are also underway.

[@gravityhero2227]

Because it isn't a triple a game.

[@nominatorchris5591]

Triple A or not it means nothing to the gameplay and fun it self.

[@gravityhero2227]

My point is have you ever seen ign give 10 to a indie game?

[@Luckerz_-]

I don’t think my IQ is high enough to enjoy this game. Feelsbadman. :(

[@Dios7518]

yes you need a certain level of intelligence to greatly appreciate and understand opus magnum. the complex mechanics will go over the average gamers head.

[@winstonbritto2789]

Quasimodo I see what you did there.. ;-)

[@dwarfie24]

LuCkY ShOtZ didnt he say its easy to complete just hard to get a high score?

[@grapeshott]

you know, IQ can be increased

There is a flash game with the same idea, alchemy and everything

[@sarthakmishra1415]

That is a prototype made by the same guy.

[@MrTim271]

Umm, magnum opus, mad max car, right?

[@Pwng]

MrTim271 yes

Technically, that's the name Chumbucket gave to the car he's working on while Max gets his Interceptor back.

looks like shenzhen IO and talismania had a baby.

[@jadewashere64]

Reminds me of Climate mission on my old Nokia X-02 touch and type lol

[@Thedarkside02]

This feels like Infinifactory

[@Cephalonimbus]

Same developer, Zachtronics. They made a bunch of excellent puzzle games: Spacechem and Infinifactory are very similar, TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O are more on the programming side of things. All share the same open-ended quality, where solving a puzzle doesn't mean you're done with it because you're encouraged to optimize and make your solution faster, more lightweight or more efficient in some other way.

[@fatjawns3671]

looks like schoolwork

[@kodoking5878]

Some of the most enjoyable homework you'll ever end up with

[@MrFallout86]

if you like this game, get into coding. As a dev, this is so analogous to coding for me

[@damnedfool9845]

I know this game from Kongregate. It's nice to see good projects grow.

[@SolinoOruki]

been waiting for a game like this

[@weisscreme]

THIS GAME IS AWESOME

[@joebailey8294]

Spacechem anyone?

[@tommarks2776]

Same developer!

Sold!

I feel like any game from this dev can be described by this review. XD

[@pigsmacker213]

HARDSTYLE Didn't you know? IGN is a joke.

[@spinyslasher6586]

that's not how review works, skyrim is an open world, compare that to BOTW. This is a puzzle game, so compare this to other puzzle games.
