NieR: Automata is the cult-classic collaboration between director Yoko Taro and PlatinumGames, a philosophical action RPG that became a generation-defining phenomenon. Android soldiers 2B, 9S, and A2 fight a proxy war against machine lifeforms on a ruined far-future Earth, in a story about consciousness, purpose, and what remains of humanity that demands multiple playthroughs, its true endings recontextualize everything, culminating in the legendary Ending E. Platinum's silky combat flows between melee, ranged pod fire, and genre shifts into twin-stick shooter and bullet-hell sequences. Keiichi Okabe's soundtrack is routinely ranked among the greatest in gaming. It has sold over nine million copies and inspired an anime adaptation, cementing its place as an all-time great.
