NieR: Automata is another action-RPG that has its focus set tightly on the action packed gameplay. Set centuries after the events of the first NieR, an alien invasion happens on Earth and mankind has been forced to live on the moon. To take the planet back, the humans created the YoRHa androids, and you assume the role of some of these androids during your time with the game.

The action of the game switches back and forth between side-scroller, bullet-hell shooter, and twin-stick shooter and is brutal and chaotic at every turn. It can be punishing, but the combat is fun and consistently surprising. NieR: Automata also boasts stunning visuals, an emotional and pulsing soundtrack, and a story that is incredibly powerful. Any PlayStation 4 owners that missed it during the hype that surrounded Horizon Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in March should pick it up during these quiet summer months.
