Review: I’m sure there was some grander, larger idea behind this, but that dream never comes to fruition, so we are left with just ‘Machine Learning: Episode I’ which is a short collection of things to play like a shooting game a puzzle game and a Drone flying game, none of which lasts much more than a few minutes. But the good news is the visuals are quite nice and the sound effects are OK. I think this is worth a download considering that it’s free, but it is a shame we never got to see the bigger picture of it with future episodes.
