This game is currently in the Humble Choice for December 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before January 2nd, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

The final new title from Zachtronics

Last Call BBS came out last year. It was a bit of a surprise, being announced as Zachtronics’ final release. While they did release a solitaire collection after this, this is more of a collection of the games that never got made. There are 7 unique titles here, and they range from a game where you lay out metal for a chip, a game where you automate a kitchen and a game where you build Gundam models, which is far more interesting than it should be.

But ultimately this is Zachtronics, it’s all the same negative. It’s a game built for a programmer or logic mindset, and while I love that, it’s not going to appeal to most players. There’s a good amount of content but a few games feel a little short, mostly the Gundam models or at least legally-distinct-giant-mecha models, I just want a hundred of them. Also, this feels like prototypes the studio made and never built for a full game. It’s not a huge negative but feels a bit like leftovers.

Pick this up if you enjoy Zachtronics games. I keep saying this and this is absolutely another for that pile. I adore this company, I said goodbye to them when this game came out, and looking at this once more gives me a lot of nostalgia. I would highly recommend checking this out if you ever enjoyed any of their games. And I know of their new company Coincidence, I can’t wait to see what happens with them.
