Retro Machina is a game that includes themes that have been explored countless times before, yet brings its own understanding and take of these views to the table. It is the care put into creating the game’s backstory and world that made me fall in love with this title and wonder just how horrible a world without humans would be…

70%Retro Machina review — Fighting for sanity
Despite checking many of the most important boxes in the adventure game design guide, Retro Machina is a beautifully envisioned world waiting to be demolished. However, all of the best elements are derailed due to monotonous combat and drastically over-engineered puzzles. This will be a pretty ride, but one you might never see through to completion.
65%A Beautiful But Clunky Machine
Retro Machina is a charming and visually stunning puzzle-exploration game that shines on the puzzle side but fails on the large exploration and action aspects. If you're up for beautiful art and creative puzzles, Retro Machina might be up your alley.
