The story

NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines. The NieR: Automata - The End of YoRHa Edition includes the game itself and comes packed with DLC and bonus content for the full experience of the award-winning post-apocalyptic action RPG.

What it’s like

Sun-bleached ruins under a washed-out sky, overgrown concrete towers, and wide empty plains that feel like the end of the world, all lit with a soft, hazy glow. The soundtrack moves between sweeping orchestral swells, plaintive synth, and wordless vocals that hang over the silence between fights. Combat is fast, flashy, and balanced on sword, gun, and sudden bullet-hell bursts, with machines bursting into scrap rather than gore, though the violence is near-constant and sometimes sharp. Between battles the pace loosens into long walks through deserted places, side quests, and quiet conversations at the edges of the frame, and the mood shifts often: playful one moment, bleak and unsettling the next. Its tone is wistful melancholy with a streak of dread, and its characters move from guarded duty toward doubt, loss, and uneasy tenderness. It suits a late evening with headphones, a long stretch of uninterrupted play, or a second run that rewards noticing what changes. It's for players who want a stylish, story-heavy action game with an elegiac heart and are comfortable with frequent, intense combat.
