NieR: Automata is an unforgettable game. Androids vs. Machines, all while trying to save humanity, and uncover the cold truth of this post-apocalyptic world. 2B and 9S share a common goal, but have differing views through the story. The combat is more fleshed out than its predecessor due to chips and pod mechanics. Characters change and face reality after meeting characters and concepts never seen before.
The game takes the multiple endings route to another level, and I'm sorry for anyone who stopped at the first credit roll! Play the game as 2B, then as 9S to see his perspective, until route C becomes an in-game sequel, all culminating in a perfect conclusion in Ending E.
Environments in this game are exceptional, not limited to places such as the Amusement Park, which entrances you with harmonic music and welcoming guests. The design and symbolism in this game is great, too, with boss designs and character designs depicting their personalities and needs.
With events connecting to the first game, NieR: Automata is a must-play for all.
