Beat The Machine: Rebooted

Love the arcade style feel to it. Controls took a second to get used to on mouse and keyboard but it was cool to play a game with movement controls that I've never used before. Definitely recommend if you're into arcade style game. Levels are way more challenging than they seem. Dev team did a great job so far!

Fantastic game! Incredible level design, fun game mechanics, and dedicated game designers who respond to bug reports promptly and fix it within the next patch! Very promising for future games from this studio.

the game has its flaws don't get me wrong. but this game honestly can be super fun once its rounded around the edges of bugs and dialogue. I've recommended this game to some of friends and overall the response i feel and others tell is its frustratingly fun. which at the end of the day for what this game is, is something I couldn't agree more about.

Good game, kinda easy. I recommend it to the game journalists

This is by far 1 of my favorite top down shooter. The skill tree brings such a variety and replayability to the game. The unique and many customization options make the game feel free and that I am not locked into a specific path.

It's taking me a bit longer to play through than I expected, but sometimes things get busy and such. But, I've played enough for now to feel like I can reflect on what I've played well enough to leave an honest review. I like it. If I had to choose the simplest way to explain what the game is like, I'd say Geometry Wars if it was more of a story focused experience. Graphically we've got the neon colors, wireframe style graphics, and sparkly explosions. It looks good, it fits extremely well for the game's narrative. Combat is equally entertaining, with a robust skill to help you create a fairly strong ship that'll be quite the killing machine. Your options play well into the level design, with lots of corners to navigate, some entertaining boss fights, and plenty to keep you on your toes. The level design also feels a bit non-linear at times, as many of them will have you traversing through the level as you look for different things that need to be blown up. The story is somewhere between serious and whimsical. It's fully voiced, and the voice acting is fairly varied and well done. Now, the voices might not be for everyone but I personally have found they grow on you as you play. It fits the characters, I think. You've got this feeling that there's a level of nervousness with interaction, and honestly it feels like one of the more human interactions I've seen in awhile. In any case, the game really deserves more attention than it has received. It's an entertaining game, and I firmly recommend it.

I normally buy games on console, but when I saw this game, I decided to pick it up for PC as there's no console release yet. Overall the game feels great and responds quickly to player input. After each level you get an upgrade, and you get a lot of freedom even early on. Only downside is I wish some of the abilities showed you how to use them when you select them.

Before my review, I want to make it clear. I am in no way good at this genre of games. Review: Solid game. Good visuals, good voice acting and solid game play. Level difficulty is a consistent yet manageable slope....until about mid way through the game. But that is more than likely me being god awful at this genre of games. The skill tree is extremely diverse with very flexible build paths. The enemies are all appropriately difficult and have fair mechanics that aren't annoying to face. The bosses all are unique, each having completely different combat styles. And I have to say, the music is right up my alley. I have stalled in levels to listen to the soundtrack, I wont lie. (I failed and died, but I did try to....) My only gripe is that there isn't enough of Pete. Gotta have me more Pete. Pete is a solid character. What a guy.

Fun game to play once you get the hang of it. The variety of modes and within the skill tree always keeps it interesting with something new you can always try. Definitely recommend it.

Got just enough time to be able to post a review. The story mode seems to give you an comfortable progression to learn the game, and I think the real meat of playing this will be in the roguelike mode they added. The abilities you can pick up seem diverse and while stepping into this mode without getting a hang of the game by playing through the full story has lead to a good few deaths, I do believe that most people can simply hone their skills in this new mode if that is there preference, which is most likely the route I will be taking.
