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.

Wtf
New Zachtronixs game dropping wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card
I’ve not heard of Zachtronics, but love puzzle games. Do you have a recommended one of theirs?
Edit: thanks everyone!
Can’t really go wrong with any of their games but Infinifactory and EXAPUNKS are my favs.
All of them are pretty great! I’ve played a bunch of Shenzhen/IO, and it taught me a lot about low-level programming.

I’d say Opus Magnum is the best entry point for beginners, no programming knowledge needed.
Depends on what you like, I suggest that you check them out yourself
