If you have played a Zachtronics game, in my opinion, Opus Magnum one of their best games. For those of you have not played a Zachtronics game, in the simplest terms, they make programming games. That might sound boring to you, but if you like puzzle games I suggest that you give programming games a chance. For most puzzle games the goal is to clear the level in the least amount of moves. In programming games the goal is to clear the level in the least amount of instructions. However just telling the player to write code is boring and...

So it has been an extremely long time since I posted anything. To be exact it has been almost an entire year since the last review. So why is that?

Another year has come and past and RTX just always seems to get better and better. There were some amazing games that were on the show floor that I was able to get my hands on that I can’t wait to give a full review for. While I was not able to get to every single game there I was able to get my hands on a lot of good games. As a reminder these games range from being in alpha to being released, and unless they are released they are subject to change. My thoughts...
