Nex Machina Review – PlayStation Universe
From PlayStation Universe: "The wondrous joy of going to the arcades feels like yesterday for an old git like me, but the days of funneling an endless supply of coins into a game to play a bit more is practically a thing of the past (if you discount microtransactions and subscriptions, of course). At the very least, it has seen the depletion of arcade-minded tactics such as limited lives, almost unfairly tough, but compelling gameplay loops, and dazzling color and sound. This is mainly because there’s just not the same need for it now, but also because adapting those tropes to consoles got tough to expand upon in fresh ways."
