Autonauts
An automation puzzle in which you land on an empty planet, chop and quarry by hand, and then teach robots the steps you just performed so they can do them for you. With short Scratch-style scripts and one small memory allowance per bot, you grow a production line from farming to industry. Made by Denki, in Scotland.
puzzleprogrammingautomationSyberia: The World Before
A third-person adventure in which lawyer Kate Walker moves between two timelines — a girl named Dana in the 1930s and Kate's own present — retracing the history of the city of Vaghen alongside the automaton Oscar. Progress comes through assembling mechanisms and hint-assisted exploration. Microids' fourth entry in the series.

A third-person adventure in which the lawyer Kate Walker joins a Youkol migration north, assembling clockwork devices along the way. Microïds' third Syberia, which trades the fixed painted screens of the first two games for a 3D space you walk around in.
narrative-puzzleadventurepoint-and-clickWorld of Goo 2
A sequel to the physics-building puzzler: grab black goo balls, link them into bridges and towers, and route them to the exit pipe. New goo species that stretch, shrink and explode join liquid that runs downhill and pools, across five chapters and sixty-plus levels. From 2D BOY and Tomorrow Corporation.
physicspuzzleassemblyTIS-100
An assembly-language programming puzzle: you write code across a grid of tiny parallel nodes to repair a broken computer. Each node holds two registers and barely a dozen instructions, and passing data between nodes can deadlock — inside those constraints you compete on cycles, instructions and node count. From Zachtronics, makers of SpaceChem and Opus Magnum.
puzzleprogramminglogicTuring Complete
A programming puzzle that has you wire everything up from a single NAND gate — logic gates, an adder, registers, and finally a CPU running an assembly language you designed yourself. A solo-developed game about proving that computers aren't magic.
puzzleprogramminglogicSHENZHEN I/O
A programming puzzle in which you play an engineer at a fictional Shenzhen firm, writing terse assembly for cramped virtual microcontrollers and wiring circuits onto a board to build client products. Zachtronics ships no tutorial — its 30-plus-page datasheet manual is the first puzzle.

A 2D puzzle-platformer where you rearrange and wire together public signs, building a path through the signage for a little stick figure to cross a living city.
