Life's been a bit difficult the past week for multiple reasons. So it was nice that when I took a break from the usual, it was to play a game this awesome. The only game in recent history I think is better than this would be the Witcher 3.
Nier: Automata is the sequel to Nier: Gastalt and Nier: Replicant which are a spin-off to the original Drakengard. Nier: Automata is by Platinum Games and features high-flying 3D action oriented hack and Slash combat, coupled with bullet hell sections, twin-stick shooter sections, 2D side scrolling segments, and more.
The main characters are the Yorha Androids 2B, 9S, and A2 and the game features 3 main playthroughs, each better than the last. The first playthrough is lighthearted and it gets darker as you go. The characters are developed just enough, and the game-play sections that are repeated are done so deliberately.
