However, numerous amounts of the same enemy appear around them. As the story progresses, 9S ends up wounded after saving 2B – only for her to destroy the Goliath-class weapon and be reunited. 9S is sent to help 2B on her mission, as the rest of 2B’s unit has been destroyed. Starting from the beginning, you play as 2B, a YorHa unit sent to gain intel, as well as destroy, what has been designated a Goliath-class weapon. I’d like to say I know this game quite well?Īnyways, onto the actual review! Summary. It’s one of my three platinumes – the others being from Persona 4: Dancing All Night and an otome game. I’m glad I did – cause as soon as I finished his route, I barely saw the light of day until I had completed all the main routes.ĭid I mention I also platinumed the game? Yeah. Thus, this game had enough different things through 9S’ viewpoint (plus, I love the guy) that I was able to power through, to the darker meat of the game. It takes a lot for me to be able to replay them. I dragged a little through 9S’, just for the fact it was fairly similar to 2B’s – because it was supposed to be – but, I just can’t replay games very well. I was sucked into this game, and I beat 2B’s route fairly quickly. Else, my studies would have suffered tremendously (I had The Last Guardian to blame for that instead, which also came out when I was abroad). I wasn’t able to even start the game until this summer – which, I am glad I waited. I couldn’t play it until I got back from Japan however, and it was a painful wait – my brothers sending me pictures of it as it arrived. It was worth it, for how much I love the game, and love (hate) the mastermind Yoko Taro. Through a much heated debate, she convinced me to get it – ah, woe my bank account! But, after the fact, I’m glad I did. I had a friend whom I talked to about all manner of things, and I brought up the question with her. I wasn’t gonna splurge on this unless I conversed with someone about it. It was getting down to the wire about pre-orders, and I had just heard about the Black Box edition of the game. Needless to say, I was hooked from the first trailer – and continued to watch and re-watch the trailers during my study abroad in Japan. Not too soon afterward, NieR: Automata was announced. Still, from what I had played, I absolutely fell in love with the characters and the world – the story along with it. I had picked up NieR a while back, but hadn’t finished it completely yet. I was actually on board with this game from the beginning, I believe – since it was first announced. But, then again, a perfect game does not exist – a discussion for another time. I’ll go into more specifics later, but… whew. It is a masterpiece, in more ways than one. First off, I wanna say I absolutely love this game. This game jumped into my top 10 favorite games of all time and I have no doubt in that decision.(Picture from official artwork and promotional stuffs) Even if you don’t like the gameplay for whatever reason or the heavily philosophical story doesn’t resonate with you, the soundtrack is one you’ll want to listen to on repeat. On top of all this, the game's soundtrack is without a doubt the best I’ve ever heard.
#NIER AUTOMATA CRACK AUTO CLOSE INSTALL#
The design of each element of the game feels purposeful, like the upgrade chips you install into your android protagonists, the legitimacy of fast travel using new bodies, and the different types of gameplay that ranges from third person hack-and-slash to retro shoot ‘em up. Even the side quests add so much meaning that I’m surprised some aren’t mandatory. The more you play the happier the lighter moments are and the sadder the heavy moments are, as nothing grows stale throughout its long playtime (around 30 hours to complete endings A-E). Not only do you constantly learn more vital information to the story’s themes throughout the playthrough of endings A-E, but the emotional impact of this information only grows stronger. Nier: Automata deconstructs existentialism and nihilism in more effective ways than even the Blade Runner films. Nier: This game is a must play for anyone who loves a meaningful, thought provoking, and emotional story in a video game with great gameplay.
