I've been playing Infinifactory a block based puzzle game made by Zachtronics where you are given simple tools (conveyor belts, welders, etc.) and have to use them together to construct a factory to build a product from inputs. It's hands down the best puzzle game I've played since SpaceChem (also made by the same team.) The thing I like most about it is when you solve a puzzle it feels like you're building a solution rather than just figuring out the one predetermined route the game designer wanted you to follow. (In fact they have stated that most puzzles are made by creating interesting looking outputs and then making sure it's possible.)
