The remaining humans on the moon send down a series of combat androids to assist the resistance, and that’s where our main heroine 2B comes in, with her operator 9S, as they arrive on Earth to help out. Taking place long after the original game (and thankfully making sure that it can serve as a mostly standalone title), NieR: Automata is set in a futuristic world where an alien invasion ravaged humanity, with the remnants engaging in a war between a resistance and the killer machines that the aliens have left behind. After getting a quick refresher course on the original NieR, I ventured forth nervously…and then emerged later, with a trail of scrap metal behind my character now, ready to declare this beautiful, intense and freaky romp that is Automata to easily be one of the best games of 2017. After all, a big open-world game about having to battle massive machines in a post-apocalyptic world (the third game fitting that bill to be released within the span of a single week, oddly enough) makes for quite the imposing feat and you do not want to be the one who botched things up when it comes to tackling that. After feeling a tremendous amount of pressure from having to preview NieR: Automata about a week ago, with it being what may very well be the biggest game of the year in our eyes, you can imagine the amount of bullets having been sweat out over the task of having to actually review the whole game as a follow-up.
