Overall, the game’s willingness to change itself time and time again is one of the reasons I like it so much. There are sections which split into 2D platforming, top-down bullet hells, and a hacking minigame which ends up proving both difficult and a little frustrating down the line.

Gameplay doesn’t just take place in the typical 3D character action game mold, however.

There are far too many plugins to list here, but there are so many that - no matter your playstyle - you’ll find a combination which sits well with you. How about a sensor that reveals the location of all the hidden items onto your minimap? It has that too. Want more critical hits? There’s a plugin for that. Want a more active heal? Then you can get lifesteal stats. You can add healing chips, so that you heal a percentage of your health back over time. You have a massive selection of upgradeable weapons, and can upgrade those pods of yours too! Another interesting mechanic is the “chip” system, wherein you can upgrade your character’s hidden stats. Your character is adorned with a light attack, heavy attack, and a “pod” - your little robot buddy who can fire missiles/shoot bullets/pew-pew lasers at enemies, as well as provide other special moves. The combat system is simple, but fun, and engaging. Please, let me share with you just some of the reasons why NieR: Automata has taken its place as my favourite all-time game. There is no question in my mind that NieR: Automata is not only the weirdest, but also the most fantastic.

We have games like Persona 5, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Night in the Woods, PUBG, among many more - and we're only halfway through the year! I think the most noteworthy trend among these great games which has stolen my heart has been the resurgence of fantastic, weird Japanese developers.
