They completely destroyed the idea of solving a puzzle with the given elements which was prominent in former games. Instead you know just have to cheese a puzzle with as few elements as possible to get points. This is not puzzle solving, but ignoring everything to place some nitro somewhere.

7/10 The puzzles are pretty good. It's a shame that many parts are useless if your going for 3 stars in a level. Logic components could get more attention. Penalties for using to many cables are discouraging you to use logic circuts. Controls were designed for mobile devices and does not work well on PC.

"Crazy Machines" implies that you are supposed to build a complex machine to do a simple task (Rube Goldberg Machines). What this game has you do instead is use as little parts as possible and with variety (not using the same part 3 times, etc.), so you get an incredibly simple, unsatisfying solution most of the time that gets you all three stars, where as the complicated solution you made will get you at most, 1 star. What? However, the rating system is supposed to get you more golden gears to unlock more levels. The more stars, the more gears you get. By default out-of-the-box, you have enough already to unlock all levels and get all hints and solutions so it's technically not that big of a deal, but it's the fact the rati…

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
