If you've ever wanted to feel like a hardware programmer working in a small Chinese office, then this is the game for you.

The game largely consists of programming challenges that act very similar to coding in Assembly. It's a very novel idea that plays out in interesting ways as you're required to program increasingly complex specifications and working with different hardware. Each device has its own unique set of features and functions to work with and requires you to read a hardware manual which is as tedious as it is immersive.

The games by Zachtronics fall into that weird space between work and play but I think you have to really enjoy programming or at least the logic puzzles that lay within coding for this sort of game to really be enjoyable. I eventually hit a difficulty wall where it started to feel more like work than play and looking at where things go I'm fine stopping where I did.
