CRYMACHINA

The last humans are gone. What's left are machines dreaming of becoming real. CRYMACHINA's Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 4 brings this hauntingly gorgeous action RPG to disc with a collector's box that does its art direction justice.

That "Eden Database" hardcover art book deserves a slow read. CRYMACHINA's world is designed with a precision that borders on obsessive, all sterile architecture and fragile beauty, and seeing it laid out in print reveals details you'd never catch mid-combat. The Hanamaru soundtrack is a mood unto itself, the kind of score that works just as well on a late-night listen as it does backing a boss fight.

The memorial art print and "To Battle" acrylic display offer two takes on the game's character design, one for the shelf and one for the wall (or vice versa, we don't judge). And then there's the 17" x 24" cloth poster, a genuinely impressive piece of display material that turns any flat surface into a conversation starter. PS4 collectors know the late-cycle gems are often the ones worth chasing hardest. CRYMACHINA's Deluxe Edition is built for the kind of collector who finds beauty in the strange and keeps their disc library immaculate.
