I imagine this isn't for everyone, but wow is it for me. Very, very fun collection of puzzle & puzzle-adjacent games wrapped up in a very aesthetically-pleasing frame narrative bow. I'm not super familiar with Zach's work but clearly I need to change that. I figured it would make the most sense to post my thoughts on each game individually, especially since other reviews don't seem to be breaking things down by game: 20th Century Food Court - Easily my favorite game in the bunch. You use modular electronics to control a factory while balancing budget & space constraints (both on the factory floor and on your equipment rack!). I would love to play a larger scale version of this. My only complaint is that the final couple of levels require such a high level of optimization that you pretty much need to consult a guide to figure out some of the sneaky tricks if you aren't a literal IRL engineer; if you don't get very clever with your use of modules in the endgame you'll run out of space before even getting half of the puzzle sorted out. Steed Force Hobby Studio - A chill gunpla building simulator. This seems super fun! Unfortunately this game in particular crashed frequently for me (I know I can email Zach or whatever to troubleshoot but honestly I have an IRL gunpla backlog that needs my attention more than virtual ones so I decided to just let it ride instead of risking putting 20+ extra hours into the game). So I did the bare minimum assembly to get the achievement and left it at that after struggling to keep it running long enough to make progress on a "real" build w/ paint and all that. It's probably for the best that I had tech issues, because I can see myself spending an incredible amount of time on this one getting every pixel painted just right. X'BPGH: The Forbidden Path - You have to craft sequences of commands to make flesh grow & evolve into specific patterns in a bizarre body horror setting. Super neat aesthetic and overall concept. The way it executes your "script" with all steps happening simultaneously is neat, although very hard to wrap your brain around. Once you figure out the logic of it it's a lot of fun! I definitely needed to consult a guide for a couple of the puzzles though. Kept finding myself in places where my script was failing for reasons I couldn't decipher... like most of these games it doesn't exactly explain itself, but that's part of the fun. Sawayama Solitaire - The default game installed on the PC. It's a fun take on solitaire! Deceptively simple, but requires a good amount of thinking ahead to win consistently. Dungeons & Diagrams - Cool lil sudoku-like game where you need to build dungeon walls around monsters and treasure chests while following a slew of specific placement rules. As one of the first games you're likely to play, it also does you the service of having a manual to explain said rules! Like Food Court, this is a game you could probably just sell on its own as-is and people would happily buy it (me, I'm people). It has an endless mode with randomly generated puzzles if you really want to go nuts with it too! ChipWizard Professional - As far as I can tell this is just actual IC design. I have a decent enough understanding of electronics but I am straight up too dumb for this one. Couldn't even get past the first puzzle. This game also crashed pretty often for me (more likely an issue with my system than Last Call, been having some trouble lately) so I used a guide to get the achievement and moved on. Even after walking through all of the stages with a guide I still couldn't tell you what anything does or why things do or don't work. I'm sure someone out there loves this strange little game though, and I'm happy for them, and am at least slightly jealous of their six-figure electrical engineer salary. HACK*MATCH - It's Puyo with a twist, and a cool cyberpunk anime coat of paint! You can swap the positions of the block in front of you with the block behind it, in addition to the obvious grab-and-place mechanics. It's sort of a strange fit considering the other games, but it's a nice change of pace. I'm a pretty terribly Puyo player but once you figure out how the scoring/damage works it's not too awful to clear, despite the final boss's attack being an absolute nightmare. This is another game I'd happily buy the "full" version of! Kabufuda Solitaire - More, different solitaire! I enjoyed this one too. You really have to think 10 steps ahead for it! Very easy to get stuck if you aren't being careful, especially on the higher difficulties. Overall I had a great time with Last Call BBS. Highly recommended! The only game I didn't really get into was ChipWizard, but I'm sure it's the ideal game for someone so I can't be too mad at it. Everything else absolutely ripped. Definitely going to have to peep some more Zachtronics games in the future.
Most people write these from the perspective of being longtime Zachtronics fans; lots of praise about a "proper send-off" and the magic of "zach-like" puzzle games. coming from the opposite end, this is my first and only Zachtronics experience so far. i plan on going back and picking up some other games by the studio, but i thought people were acting really strangely about this game. it's about leaving behind a big part of your life in one sense of the word, but also about keeping your life with you. just because the studio that did it first or did it best is shutting down doesn't mean there'll never be another brilliant team of puzzle devs - and the puzzles here ARE brilliant, if that's what you're looking for. a great anthology of puzzle games, even if some of them are needlessly obtuse. you're not going to solve any of them right away, and you're definitely going to bang your head up against a wall for a bit before figuring out some solutions, but it's more about the journey than anything. just follow the path that presents itself to you and you start to feel like the game is way bigger than your desktop.
Last Call BBS is an incredibly polished collection of puzzles from the Zachtronics team. There's 8 distinct applications presented through the fictional Powerlance OS. I can't overstate how much fun I had just using the fictional computer. The sound and visual design are very well done, and I've already found myself late at night booting up the game just to play the built-in solitaire on more than one occasion. The 8 games contained on the OS are all very polished and cleverly designed. There's 2 solitaire implementations (both with a slight twist to traditional rules), a model builder, a nonogram-inspired logic puzzle, an arcade game (though one that presents you will all the tools to approach it as a puzzle), and 3 programming puzzles similar to the other Zachtronics titles (with all bells, whistles, and histograms you'd expect). While each puzzle doesn't have quite as much content as a standalone Zachtronics game, they still have a shocking amount of content and what's there is very cleverly designed. It took me ~40 hours to complete everything, with a majority of that spent between the 3 programming puzzles. I found myself enjoying the variety a lot as I could always jump to a different puzzle if I were stuck on a particular game. And while I've already said it multiple times, I really must reiterate just how incredibly polished the entire experience is. X'BPGH is intentionally bizarre, HACK*MATCH is intentionally presented with instructions in a different language, 20th Century Food Court has several great music tracks and a lot of humor in the pre- and post- level screens. They have an intentionally nostaligic presentation that looks great. The entire experience is tied together with memos you progressively unlock from the former owner of the computer, and while brief they provide just enough narrative to be interesting and engaging, pushing you to find out what the next note will say. All in all this is my favorite of the Zachtronics games I've played. The puzzles may not be for everyone as they are definitely the programming and optimization style that the Zachtronics team excels at. If you're unsure if it is a style you'll enjoy this is a great place to start as there's a lot to enjoy here, even if you don't end up enjoying the meatiest puzzles.
