Bartlow’s Dread Machine is a fun, action-packed dual-stick shooter that offers unique mechanics, details graphics, and an enjoyable storyline so far. I am eager to finish the game and continue on the mission. As an avid gamer, I would highly suggest trying this one out. With different levels, upgrades, and coop modes that can change how the game feels and plays each time, this will be a fantastic title for anyone. It is easy to pick up, a low learning curve, and hours of fun. [Early Access Provisional Score = 70]
