While it’s not as good (or as pretty/diverse) as that game, it’s a serviceable shooter released at a budget price point. Both of those are side-scrollers though, and it’s more fair to compare I, AI to the likes of Raiden V.

While I, AI certainly looks more modern than the classic arcade shooters we all know and love, I didn’t get the sense that things have evolved much since the days of Gradius V on the PS2, and a game like Sine Mora EX for the PS4 looks much better than this one does. It gets more and more difficult over time, so you’ll eventually find yourself in a grind (where you keep part of your earnings even when you die and have to restart). Since they are expensive, I, AI can feel like a bit of a grind – which is a home console thing that makes the experience feel a little less-arcade like but pads out the time you’ll spend playing the game.

Your performance is ranked with 1 to 3 stars based on hit ratio and pickups – the latter also being important in terms of upgrades. The gameplay is rather formulaic in nature, catering to retro arcade shooting fans with its familiar recipe of blasting through waves of enemies before facing a boss at the end. This one scrolls vertically, and ticks many familiar boxes along the way – with upgradable weapons, ship loadouts and superweapons and a range of boss fights spread across 20 different levels. In I, AI, you play the role of (how did you guess?) an AI, one that’s become self-aware and wants to break out of the lab you were created in – the usual razor-thin setup for a scrolling shooter that makes little sense when you think about it for too long. (2022 update: I, AI is now also available on next gen systems, including the PS5) Initially developed by Satur Entertainment, the ports were handled by Sometimes You and we tried out the PS4 version.
