It's not different every time, so no.
It's designed to be replayable but replayable because you can get better at it, and master the game.
Someone else mentioned Tetris Effect in here, but in a sense it's that kind of game. It's the kind of game that focuses on getting players into that perfect flow state of absolute focus, where you're immersed into a beautiful neon wave of particles that just flow all around you. It doesn't focus on adding complexity in terms of new mechanics or weapon types, and instead just lets players hone in on what's their, and perfect it.
It's essentially a throwback to a different style of game design that doesn't really exist in many modern titles today, but it's one that's definitely very appreciable. Especially for $3.39 :)
It's my favorite Housemarque game, and it's a steal at that price. Hell, it's one of the very best games on the system period.
Also: Alienation is around the same price right now, it's a good compromise between the usual chaotic action of housemarque games and a more structured gameplay loop (with leveling, gear and whatnot)

it doesn't look like this has the PS4 PRO options on the ps5, atleast I don't see the resolution choices in the options

I think the sales over now. Glad I got to draw some attention to this great game. If you end up enjoying Nex Machina make sure to check out Returnal when it releases on PS5.
Hope you enjoy it :)

Was excited to give it a shot but after watching the trailer I'm waiting until I have a PS5 so I can enjoy it with 4k/HDR. Looks really great though, so I definitely grabbed it at that price.
Yeah I got this a week ago for practically nothing and I was shocked at how good it was. I like Housemarque but more for their less arcades stuff, so I haven't checked out any of the recent releases. Even if I'm not a big fan of these sorts of games, it's extremely high quality for the price it's going for and it'll provide probably a few hours fun to most people at least.
Just bought it thanks to seeing the thread. Still on sale here, at least (NA, US). Thanks for bringing attention to it! Have heard a lot about the game, and had interest, but have always been playing something else when it was mentioned. But for this price it was an automatic purchase to finally have it ready to go.
I believe the sale is still in effect for just under two more hours.
Nex Machina is an impressive game in so many ways. it's a treat for the eyes and the ears, and it dishes up a healthy challenge. I hope everyone here enjoys playing it!

Never played it, but snagged it on this sale, and will probably play a little this weekend. Housemarque games have a knack for getting me into genres I'm normally not that big into. Love them, and Returnal looks so damn good.
my neighbors are piased at me cus i played this too loud, i told that single mom.. if it'stoo LOUD, you're to OLD
Gosh, just listening to these tracks makes me feel like this is a game I should have played and loved years ago, and continued listening to the soundtrack ever since. Like Shatter or something.
Needless to say, it's now on the wishlist. Thanks for the rec, OP!
While I don't love this game as much as everyone else does, this game is a pure throwback to the arcade games of old. It's a visceral, super fast paced, nonstop action shooter that isn't weighed down by silly dialogue/story that is so rampant in so many games today. It's just pure, nonstop action, and that's what makes this a must play if you were a fan of the glory days when the arcade reigned supreme. And as a side note, my favorite Housemarque game is Outland.
Outland is such an under-appreciated gem. It recently returned to Steam and is on sale this week.

Yup, Outland is another game people really need to buy/play if they haven't done so already. One of my favorites of all time.
