The game's main drawback is the lack of a performance graph (any cycle/gold metric) of other alchemists. Cost and Cycle graphs are useless because creating the cheapest or fastest mechanism is easy. The challenge is combining these two parameters. This would add some kind of competition to the game. Otherwise a very good game.
I discovered this game through Goodbye Galaxy's video [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Ekun0WDIk&t=1827s] How I Accidentally Set a World Record in Opus Magnum and five minutes in without understanding what was going on I immediately knew I would love this game and needed to get my hands on it desperately. The reason I was so immediately interested is simple; Opus Magnum is a coding game. I love code. End post. It can be extremely hard to wrap my head around, especially because unlike in traditional code, you can't leave comments reminding you what part of the sequence does what. The closest you have is that after you run the devices, if it doesn't end up working out, you can press a key to show the last position of all the little marbles, but this only does so much. This does cause me a lot of trouble because I just can't remember ♥♥♥♥, I'm gonna hafta work something out to make things easier for me to parse. After a device "successfully compiles" (let's say), the game will show you how your device compares to the averages on a set of histograms. You can disable this in the settings by turning on "hermit mode", but I find it useful and, well, just plain interesting. There is a plot. It's pretty silly, but I don't think it's trying to be all that serious. Anateus is almost certainly autistic and you cannot tell me otherwise. I wasn't expecting to like him at all but the way that he, like, *is*, is shockingly relatable in extremely specific ways. In the end though my favorite thing about this game is easily that there *is* no "right" way as long as you get the right answer. You can have abhorrent histogram scores but as long as your device makes the correct structure, it doesn't matter; you still get to continue.
