A Story Unlike Any Other
NieR: Automata’s story kicks off with us learning that aliens have invaded Earth, and the humans have taken refuge on the moon. As a result, the humans launched the YoRHa project, creating an elite unit of androids tasked with taking back the planet from the aliens’ machine lifeforms. Things seem simple enough from the start, but nothing is what it appears to be in Automata. Just when you think you’ve got everything figured out, Automata turns the story upside-down and heads into a completely unexpected direction you’ll never see coming.
The game also features 26 different endings. Five of these endings are crucial to understanding the full plot, while the other 21 are mostly joke endings that can trigger if you eat a fish or something. Automata’s a pretty weird, but charming, game.
