One of Zachtronics bests.
With Zachtronics closing, and just releasing their final title, the Solitaire Collection, Game Pass is getting my favorite game from Zachtronics. This is a coding game where players will program little drones to do jobs inside cyberspace, as well as the human body. It’s a strange idea, but as always it’s a chance to use assembly language to solve problems and optimize your code.
Which is also a negative. This is a pure programming game, where you will use a manual to learn the language, as well as about the world, and then write actual programs that execute. I’ve said before with TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O that if someone completed this game authentically, I’d consider them a solid programmer, and it’s one of the reasons I love this series because I do it professionally. So the positive is that it’s an amazing programming game, and the negative is it’s a programming game.
Pick this up if… I just said it, If you like programming games. This is just an exceptionally well-done game, and optimizing programs or just solving puzzles is so good. The interface is amazing, and the concept is interesting. There’s a story like always, but as it's been said this will be about writing code.
