Square Enix has done it again! Another superb game released by Square Enix "NieR: Automata (2017)" which has Officially hit my top 5 games ever made and holding strong at #2. NieR: Automata has an amazing story, a trippy but unique and fun play style; and the artwork is off the charts.

On the Official Steam Launch date March 7th, 2017, I sit anxiously for the install to complete as I had pre-ordered NieR: Automata. Once the install completed I instantly dropped all I was doing to click play. When I hit the play button I was completely blown away by how the game started out. It was right off the bat a "Rise of the Tomb Raider" moment where I had to quickly figure out the basics of what was going on as it whisked me away through a series of the start up until It started sharing the tooltips of what to click to do what.

As I continued to play around as the Character B2, direction seemed to change; in a sense, I felt as if I was Aeon Flux here and there sort of a comics book movement based I really love this game. All I can say at this moment in time if you haven't played NieR: Automata; you haven't played a good game yet!

One of the best games you'd stumble upon in this genre, It definitely deserves a game of the year award, Music is a heavenly masterpiece, Story is astonishing, Gameplay itself is on another level, One of the best games ever directed by Yoko Taro, Everything inside is synced up perfectly together which makes it a true masterpiece, I'm running out of words to describe this beauty of a game, Seriously one of the best stories ever made.

Keep it sweet and short - Nier Automata has THE most beautiful music, gameplay, and is so so replayable. It is a masterpiece -- for me up there with Zelda, Okami and the Final Fantasy series. GENIUS and please please do invest in it. You will be rewarded again and again - and the emotional impact.... it made me cry twice.

As a software developer in the Computer Age, a hack and slash RPG about fighting for mankind against machines was an easy sell to me.

You should play this game if you: Enjoy an amazing story. The playable and supporting characters are well developed and follow incredible arcs. Enjoy philosophy. I personally think reading a philosophy book is a waste of time. Luckily, you don't have to suffer through any dry book here. You will play through and experience several major philosophical themes throughout the game. If there exists a more philosophical game, please let me know!
