Nier Automata - 2B and 9S

I decided to take a break from the SNES and Saturn games and jump into something more recent again.  Zelda, while an amazing game just wasn't sucking me in the way I wanted it to.  I'll definitely go back to it, but it's a stressfully big game with endless possibilities... which sounds fantastic if you have lots of time to spend consecutively.

A Masterpiece of its own, I'll admit that Nier didn't pull me in at the start of it.  The metrics and world are crazy over-scaled and felt out-of-place to me.  Once I progressed to the first boss-battle section of the game it started to show some promise to me.  By the time I made it to the first quest giving town I was loving it - riding a wild boar and all!

Everything in the game really feels like it fits and belongs, it starts to make sense once you see how the UI plays into the narrative.  The music is great - it sounds like the first Nier but with a flavor of its own.  The start screen has a haunting feeling to it that started to make sense when I encountered the talking robots.  At this point, the story is propelling the game forwards and the flow of content is steady.  I'm ready to play more!

Also: Reversible covers are awesome!
