I've not heard of Zachtronics, but love puzzle games. Do you have a recommended one of theirs?
Edit: thanks everyone!
All of them are pretty great! I've played a bunch of Shenzhen/IO, and it taught me a lot about low-level programming.
Depends on what you like, I suggest that you check them out yourself
I'd say Opus Magnum is the best entry point for beginners, no programming knowledge needed.
EXAPUNKS and Last Call BBS have the most flavour IMO. TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O are also very good.
Honestly, all of them are worth trying so that you can see which ones are for you. They're all pretty different (with a couple of exceptions), especially MOLEK-SYNTEZ.
Can’t really go wrong with any of their games but Infinifactory and EXAPUNKS are my favs.
