NieR: Automata is nothing short of a masterpiece and has already been discussed as a frontrunner to nab Game of the Year. PlatinumGames manages to happily marry the best of multiple genres in one game that reminds us that some sequels actually can be better than their original counterpart. A stunning environment that is both desolate and somehow downright gorgeous at the same time easily transports gamers and leaves you feeling completely immersed in the post apocalyptic setting. The game presents a certain amount of unpredictability that is particularly special, but feels truly authentic to its world. It’s just as wacky as you would expect it to be and also just as captivating. It’s incredibly hard to find anything that NieR doesn’t get right. Boss battles are exciting. The soundtrack is a masterpiece of its own. The story is emotional and captivating. The gameplay is smooth and comfortable but still allows for the right amount of technical challenge. NieR: Automata isn’t the perfect game, but it certainly comes pretty close.
