When the game was initially released, my desktop struggled to reach a stable framerate and even PS4 had troubles occasionally. It’s difficult to overstate just how impressive this port is.
Another five years later and we reach the present, complete with another miracle release: NieR: Automata on Nintendo Switch. Automata was also a massive hit, selling extremely well and receiving almost universal praise from critics. Like, really, really good! Thanks to assistance from Platinum Games, movement and combat had evolved to something approaching the action game greats like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. When I actually got my hands on the game, it was much more than a janky, lovable mess. Imagine my elation then when a sequel was announced half a decade later with basically no fanfare. Poor review scores and sales made sure of that, but I loved it all the same. The original NieR was already one of my favorite games, glaring flaws and all, but back then it was clearly one of those games that would immediately get forgotten. It is an incredibly thoughtful work of art that will stick with you for the rest of your life if I’m any indication. NieR: Automata is one of the best games ever made. The pair detonate their black boxes to wipe out the enemy, killing themselves in the process. Unfortunately, 2B’s squad is wiped out on approach and she and 9S struggle to eliminate the weapon when several more pop up. Androids in service of YoRHa, including 2B and 9S, are sent to a ruined city on earth to eliminate a new type of Machine weapon. Androids fight a proxy war on behalf of humanity against alien invaders, who in turn produce Machine Liforms to battle in their stead.
