    If it wasn't for the weak combat mechanics in a game filled with combat, Retro Machina would be a wholly fun and unique experience. Retro Machina is all-in-all a great debut for an upcoming studio and clearly shows the time and effort put into crafting each area, puzzle, and piece of the overall narrative. While the back-tracking puzzle game isn't for everyone, those who do enjoy this sort of genre entry will find themselves hooked into this particular world.

You'll play from an isometric view, moving through areas, breaking up objects for loot, getting into an occasional tussle, and then either destroying or taking control of enemy robots in order to progress. At times the puzzles can be a little tricky because of the view, with occasional issues with objects being obscured, but at least the approach is novel. Expect some left/right brain challenges in the mix as well, as you'll need to keep both yourself and the robot you're controlling moving at once, sometimes needing to avoid some peril somewhere as well. I'd say the game's biggest weakness, in general, is the combat, which feels a bit stilted and disappointing as you dodge and counter a bit sloppily. An odd choice was also tying your health to the robots you control, making the potential fun of taking one over and then mowing down the other enemies less workable, which feels like a missed opportunity for mischief. It's a reasonably good experience, it just can't quite cross over into the territory of greatness in my eyes.
