#5 Infinifactory (PC, PS4)
The best puzzle games will stump you and make you stand up, get a cup of coffee, and start doodling on scratch paper as you turn the problem over in your head. Then when the solution finally hits you, it’s a true “eureka!” moment. Infinifactory delivers this in spades.
Captured by a Vogon-like alien species, you’re forced to create production lines for their floating space factories. In Minecraft style, you place blocks that function as conveyor belts, welding stations, pistons, sensors and more in order to produce the required part in each level.
When you finish, you’ll get a chance to see how efficiently you accomplished your task compared to other players – maybe you’ll see that there are ways to get the job done using fewer blocks or production cycles. The game can be maddening at times, but finding the solution is always immensely satisfying.
