Nier: Automata, the action-RPG and sci-fi follow-up to
Nier. It follows androids 2B and 9S as they fight machines and deal with some hefty existential dread. Following the multiple endings through to their conclusion and seeing the true credits roll was a lot of fun with this one, and it’s definitely worth some time to experience it for yourself.
Both
Nier: Automata and
Undertale, another game on this month’s PlayStation Now lineup, are some of my favorites of the last five or so years.
Undertale is the game that everyone has heard about, and so I won’t beat you over the head with how incredible it is, or how deep its online community goes, or why Undyne rules. It’s a game about a human that falls down a hole and finds themselves in a world of monsters, and must choose to befriend them or annihilate them to get home. If that sounds good, give it a shot.
