I find myself somewhat bothered by the totally bogus chemistry in the opus magnum, and spacechem. If they could get the chemistry aleast sound believable it would be more fun.

It’s not chemistry. It’s alchemy.

Video game cartoon alchemy, but still: not video game cartoon chemistry. There is a difference.

That works for Opus Magnum, but SpaceChem has a very clear sci-fi presentation to it, so it's confusing.

Yes I thought spacechem was about chemistry not alchemy.
