Nex Machina: Death Machine published on PC and PS4 is a science-fiction shooter. The title has been developed by Housemarque, the studio behind e.g. Outland, Alienation, Dead Nation, and Resogun.

Plot

The action is set in an unspecified future where society got completely addicted to modern technology. The ongoing process of technological development of the robots made them aware and sentient. The machines quickly realised their superiority over humans and decided to no longer serve an inferior species. Unfortunately, most of the society was too busy with the social media and simply enjoying themselves to notice the looming threat. You are one of the people who did see the danger and decided to act. It is up to you to thwart the plans of the aggressive robots.
