About

Nex Machina (2017) is an explosive arcade shooter born from a legendary collaboration between Housemarque and Robotron creator Eugene Jarvis. This fast-paced action game emphasizes competitive gameplay and skill-based mechanics, delivering the classic arcade experience that defined the studio's legacy. It's a title built for players who crave intense, twitchy gameplay rather than cinematic storytelling.

Nex Machina is quite accessible from a performance perspective, making it easy to achieve high FPS on modest hardware. The game requires only entry-level GPU capabilities with a benchmark score around 4306, along with a CPU score near 559 and 4GB of RAM minimum. Even budget graphics cards will run this title smoothly at high framerates, and most modern systems will see zero performance concerns across various graphics settings.

If you enjoy arcade-style shooters with competitive depth, Nex Machina's 80/100 rating makes it worth your time. However, it's a niche experience that demands specific taste in gameplay rather than broad appeal, so check gameplay videos first to see if its aesthetic matches your preferences.

Performance profile

June 2017 release. Nex Machina was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Nex Machina is latency-sensitive: a high refresh-rate monitor (144 Hz+) and consistent 1% low framerate matter more than raw averages. Aim for a GPU that delivers 20–30% more headroom than the "just 60 FPS" tier to keep frame pacing smooth during intense fights.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Nex Machina; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

"Humans have become so dependent on technology that they cannot avert their eyes from portable devices anymore. Around them, machines have reached consciusness and surpassed human intelligence tenfolds. No reasons to be servants now – robots are clearly the superior lifeform. And to make their point, they start eradicating all human life…"
