Slight in form, but deep and consistently satisfying. Nex Machina is a gem of a shooter.

Smash-TV and Turrican had a baby...

Fast, frenetic, old-school fun with eye-popping current-gen 3D graphics, clever level design, and music inspired by Chris Huelsbeck and Jonne Valtonen. An absolute joy. :) You had me at "Laser"...

Returnal brought me to Nex

Housemarque made a name for myself. I don't have a PS4 so I missed most of their games. This is super fun and brings back the arcade feeling of when I was young.

Like Robotron and Smash TV

It can be played through on easy in an hour or so. I found the first 2 worlds easy to finish on one credit. The later worlds can get nasty. Quick twin stick shooter with some nasty enemies later on.. Save humans, secrets to be found. Its a good game. I snagged it for $7.99. It was an ok price for the game.

Glad I found this

My first real twinstick shooter ever. I didn't think I'd like this genre, but it seems like I need to catch a up with a few more games.
