Infinifactory review

Zachtronics · 2015 · Released · ★ 85/100

Infinifactory is a 3D assembly puzzle where every block has consequences, and the best solution is usually the one that looks obvious only after you build it. Our desk scores it 85/100 - a confident recommendation.

What you actually do

Instead of managing a sprawling base, you solve contained production rooms. Conveyor blocks, welders, pushers, rotators, sensors, and spatial constraints combine into compact mechanical problems.

The 3D perspective matters. Height, orientation, timing, collision, and footprint all become part of the answer, making each level feel like a small engineering prototype.

It is more puzzle box than sandbox, so players who want endless expansion should look elsewhere. For machine-design fans, its constraints are the point.

Who it's for

Best for Zachtronics fans, 3D puzzle solvers, and players who prefer handcrafted challenges over open-ended factories.

The verdict

Our verdict · 85 / 100

A brilliant machine-design puzzler that rewards patience, spatial reasoning, and ugly prototypes that slowly become elegant.

Infinifactory sits in the front rank of the genre; if the loop above sounds like your kind of thing, it's an easy recommendation.
