To say that NieR: Automata is a great game wouldn’t do it justice, it’s one of the best games I’ve played in years and a lot of that has to do with the story. I’m only 20 or so hours into it and it’s already reduced me to tears a few times, thanks to Yoko Taro’s beautiful and heartbreaking tale of war and loss.
It has also been a runaway hit in the West, which is a big change from the middling success of NieR and the Drakengard series in the same market. So it’s nice to see that success over here being rewarded with a Western release of a novelization of NieR: Automata as well as a short story collection.
