- The Mobius Machine is a science fiction action-adventure platformer metroidvania game with an amazing otherworldly ambience!
A big thank you to the developer, Madruga Works, for providing me with a review copy for The Mobius Machine!
The Mobius Machine tells the story of a Cosmonaut who decides to investigate a nearby planet after his cargo space-craft receives a distress signal originating from its surface, which leads to him crash-landing on the celestial body. Stranded and with no apparent means of escape, he embarks on a daring expedition to discover the source of the SOS message, in the process realizing that he is not as alone in this place as he originally thought when he comes face to face with the dangerous native flora and fauna!

Awesome review. One of the best I've seen in a long time. Very detailed from start to end!
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
Great review! The game really does have an abundance of different paths between zones and number of shortcuts to open up. It was a really fun world to explore.
Indeed, one of the most fun maps I've ever explored!
Great review ,I love all the points you make in the game,definitely gonna grab this one!!
Thanks, have fun with it!
Another great review, thank you! Mobius Machine has been on my wish-list for a while, I really enjoyed the demo. Your valued review makes me even more excited.
It is an awesome game, I hope you enjoy it!
demo was great, so many metroidvanias coming out lately
Indeed, 2024 is shaping out to become the best year yet for the genre!
"concerned about how the twin-stick mechanics would transfer to a controller"? Twin-stick mechanics were born on controllers.
The thing is, while twin-stick controls when using a controller work great for games with an isometric or top-down perspective, things get a bit trickier with side scrollers, because it can sometimes become very difficult to jump and shoot below you at the same time if you're used to a specific button for jumping (like X, for me), which is why many people may opt for a mouse and keyboard approach, if available. At the end of the day, it all boils down to whether you're comfortable with the controls, so this was just my own take based on things I'm used to!
@@soulsborneseeker I see! I understand better now. I didn't realize the concerns were related to the side-scrolling aspect of the game.
a great, refreshing change to the usual metroidvania genre 👍
Indeed!
Good to hear! I did a short on the demo and was hoping the full game would live up to it. :)
Oh, nice channel! Subbed!
@@soulsborneseeker Oh wow, thank you!
Nice review, as always well written and well structured! I agree with everything you said, it's a shame each zone looks really similar, but thankfully the map itself is really impressive and the abilities make traversal so much more enjoyable. I would probably give it a bit of a lower rating, but I still really enjoyed it nontheless.
Indeed, the biome diversity could have been more impressive, especially considering the science fiction setting which provides infinite possibilities. Still, it was a blast to explore, especially with the abilities feeling so fresh!
Loved the demo and buying it now. I didnt even know it was releasing already so this was a nice surprise.
I hope you have fun with it!
Well done, great review! During my first dive into the metroidvania genre (after finishing some games and realizing it's actually a genre) The Mobius Machine was the first one that grabbed my attention and it became the first metroidvania game that I wishlisted consciously. I can't wait to play it.
About the bosses you mentioned, in some cases it makes sense that they are gigantic versions of the small ones. The fauna seems to be mostly bug influenced so a "queen" from the same species in that sense is logical and fits the subject, but I must agree that diversity in enemies are a huge boost in any game.
When it comes to biomes, it's one of the most important aspects to me in the genre. I'm one of those noobs who got sucked into the genre after playing Hollow Knight, where the combination of very clearly different biomes with music that fits and amplifies the vibe of the environment perfectly was key to fell in love with the exploration, so it makes me a bit sad when that's not so polished.
All in all, I'm very excited about The Mobius Machine. It looks great and you strengthened my excitement for it.
Glad you enjoyed the review! Indeed, it does make sense for the bosses considering the ecosystem, so it didn't bother me that much, it was more of a nitpicky thing!
Great review! I am editing a review for the same game as we speak! Your channel is really inspiring. Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words! Can't wait to watch your review!
It’s up! A critique from you would be amazing. Thank you!
@@midlifemaestro Great review! I really like your scoring system, by the way, very detailed :D
@@soulsborneseeker thank you! That means so much!
Good Review. You got a new subscriber.
Thank you, much appreciated!
i just got this game , its pretty cool
Glad you're enjoying it!
good review; game looks like a lot of fun
Thank you! It was a really fun time!
cool game
Indeed!
Does this game support adaptive triggers and such on ps5?
If I remember correctly, adaptive triggers were not part of its controller experience, I'm afraid.
looks quite fun...
It definitely felt that way while I was playing it!
We call them astronauts over here bud....
I always found the term Cosmonaut to be a bit more grandiose!
Is there a demo for this yet?
There was one at some point, though I can't see one right now, at least not on Steam or the PlayStation network :/
@@soulsborneseeker :(
looks like its gonna be a great game! I am currently playing Jett Rider, this game looks like an unpixelated version 😋
Haven't played Jett Rider yet, but the theme looks similar based on trailers I have watched!
Good game
Indeed, great addition to the metroidvania genre!
I really dislike HUGE rooms in Metroidvanias. It reminded me of afterimage in that way. It was very stressful to explore, especially with the lack of landmarks and samey environments.
Combined with the tedious combat and cornifer map system, I got totally frustrated and bailed a few hours in
Oh man, sorry to hear that :/ Indeed, the biome diversity is one of its major issues, and a big missed opportunity considering the sci-fi setting. It was also why some big rooms felt daunting for me, because the biomes felt similar.
prolly gonna pick it up. just woried i will percieve it as "too basic". the usual one-dimensional shooting and jumping on platforms mechanics. when you've played ori 2,metroid dread and hollow knight most other games just becomes boring,I'm afraid to say. hope im wrong though.
Well, the games you described are definitely pinnacles in the genre, but there's always room for additional awesome metroidvanias! In the case of The Mobius Machine, it has incredible exploration that you will probably enjoy if that's something you look for in these games. As for platforming, it has some great moments, though the aforementioned titles are more intense and complex in that regard.
great game
Indeed, I had a lot of fun with it as well!
@@soulsborneseeker i am still playin it. It's amazing. If you know other metroidvania like this don t hesitate to review
