Every weapon, from colossal greatswords to nimble spears, has its own suite of attacks, meaning there’s a lot of nuance to uncover. Combinations of heavy and light attacks reveal an impressive range of moves, including many where she flings her weapon as a spinning projectile. Whether she’s fighting with a long, elegant samurai sword or a pair of chunky metal gauntlets, the animation is remarkably fluid and graceful. When 2B engages an enemy, she explodes with dazzling, violent energy. This is the talented Osaka studio behind the likes of Bayonetta, Vanquish, and Metal Gear Rising, and its distinctive brand of deep, stylish combat elevates Nier above most third-person action games. It’s a lightweight open-world RPG with a heavy focus on challenging combat, which is where developer PlatinumGames makes its presence felt. But otherwise it’s a standalone story that you can dive into with no prior knowledge. There are some references that fans of the first game-which has become something of a cult favourite-will appreciate. Which is for the best, as it was never released on PC. And one of these androids is the protagonist of Nier: Automata, a powerful combat model designated YoRHa No.2 Type B, or 2B for short.Īutomata is a sequel, but you don’t need to play the original to understand it. Androids are sent to the surface to work with local resistance fighters and battle the machines. From here, in a facility known as the Bunker, mankind wages war on the invaders using machines of their own. Controlled by a mysterious alien intelligence, these machines have conquered the planet and driven the survivors to flee to a base on the Moon.
On a ruined Earth, the last fragments of humanity are locked in an endless war with a robot army.
