Stunningly Original
If you like Platinum Games and/or RPGs, odds are you'll like Nier: Automata. The combat is very fluid and satisfying, with an amount of customization that is simply astounding. Seriously, there's so many ways to approach the gameplay in this, it's nuts. And the story is most likely something you've never seen before, very existentialist and overall different from other JRPGs. If you've played the original Nier (which I also highly recommend!) you'll definitely know what you're getting into with this one. Great game. Oh, and the soundtrack is one of the best out there, hands down.
