As a game that has a little of everything, I highly recommend Retro Machina to anyone with an appreciation for unique indie games.Retro Machina gameplay video → Devil Slayer Raksasi Review PlayStation 4 ★★★★☆ Fighting hordes of dastardly creatures in overhead dungeons sound like Link's job yet I don't think he's ready for Devil Slayer Raksasi. When I first started playing Devil Slayer Raksasi, I frankly didn't think much of it.

Who doesn’t love a good dystopian sci-fi affair? Growing up reading stories like 1984, The Handmaid’s Tale, Brave New World, even stories like The Road or some of the more recent tales written by smaller name authors. I fell in love with the genre and write in it to this day. Retro Machina is a game from Orbit Studio, a developer based in Brazil.

Retro Machina is a charming and well-constructed Metroidvania about a little robot who dares to question its existence. The beautiful graphics and crumbling art deco world will impress, and its fun but challenging combat and robot slaving puzzles will keep many players satisfied for the entirety of its 10-hour run time. Retro Machina is available on PS4 and PS5 (review platform) Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Developer: Orbit Studio Publisher: Super.com Disclaimer: In order to complete this preview, we were provided with a promotional copy of the game.

Retro Machina is a game that diligently stays true to its title, putting on the table nothing more or less then what is implied with the opening menu. Unfortunately, the developers have kept too sharp a focus on the ‘retro’ aspect, and in failing to leverage the design improvements and innovations from recent years, the end result is an experience that feels far smaller and more limited than it should. — Konstantin Koteski Disclosures: This game is developed by Orbit Studios and published by Super.com.

All in all, my time with Retro Machina was thoroughly enjoyable, aside from a few mechanical aspects that simply just didn’t do it for me. The puzzles felt monotonous and out of place at times but usually only took a few moments to solve, rarely providing any challenge.

With its unique, effective art design and plethora of satisfying puzzles, Retro Machina has many of the ingredients of a memorable and rewarding game. It’s unfortunate that combat and some key control mechanics discolor what could be a vibrant experience. Thematically, Retro Machina doesn’t cover new ground but the way it approaches puzzles and story makes sense and feels consistent with the world it has created. As an early game from a new studio, Retro Machina is an auspicious, if flawed, debut.
