NieR:Automata

werupenstein's NieR: Automata (PlayStation 4) review

The "Ah-ha" moment

It's going to be hard to articulate how I feel about this game; there is so much I liked but I have no idea why, couple that with some pretty rote gameplay it's really strange how much I enjoyed it.

This game's charm is it's undeniable weirdness, the story, the way that it turns your expectations or brings things that I've never seen before or even considered was really appreciated.

There is no "Ah-ha" moment in this game it is just a slow but constant progression into strangeness.

I don't know what else to write, you should play this if you are in the mood, don't play it because you think you have to otherwise you will most likely miss this game's charm and be left with an otherwise hollow experience.

Back in 2016, I continually caught myself saying “games haven’t had a year this strong for a very, very long time.” I’m thankful to be eating these words a bit, because so far, 2017 has provided us with an even greater bounty of amazing experiences - some of which I now consider among my all-time favourites. We have games like Persona 5, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Resident Evil: 7, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Night in the Woods, PUBG, among many more - and we're only halfway thro...
