Here, the influence of Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and Bayonetta is worn on its sleeve, with players leveraging a mess of light and strong attacks, air-dodging, ground-pounding, and lock-on laser-like bullets from accompanying aerial drone Pod.īut in a flash, you’ll break from an overbearing enclosed combat arena and find yourself powering down a catwalk, platforming back and forth, to and from ledges and up and down stairwells.

It’s also worth noting that I’ve never played 2010’s loosely-tied Nier, but I understand it too to be a bit weird.Īnyway, developed by Platinum Games, there are moments where Nier: Automata feels like a game beneath this banner-particularly during its industrially-scarred 45-minute opening, where you guide protagonist android 2B around a sea-built rig hacking and slashing her way through hordes of robots and towering blade-armed bosses. Nier: Automata’s sense of surprise is perhaps its most endearing and important feature, and while I’ll avoid specifics here (look out for Andy’s in the not too distant future for something more focussed), the game’s ability to chop and change at the drop of the hat creates a level of mindless, uninterrupted enjoyment that I’ve not had from a game in a long time.

I wouldn’t go as far to say I’ve become burnt out on specific genres, but when I look back at some of the games I’ve played over the past year or so, the ones I’ve spent the most time with have demanded vast amounts of my time and concentration. Every time I think I’ve sussed it out, it’s thrown something new at me and while I’ve only finished it a couple of times myself-this is a game designed to be played and enjoyed several times after the first run-I’ve also realised it’s exactly the type of game I’ve been, unwittingly, searching for recently. I’ve loved it, hated it, fell out with it, made up with it, and have been interminably puzzled by it in what’s become a relatively steady cycle over the past six days. That may sound like hyperbole, but Nier is honestly like no other game I’ve ever played.
