Nier: Automata is a philosophical game that probes the complexities of compassion when there is none to be found, the lingering traumas of war during peacetime, and the pursuit of freedom within a system of surveillance. 1.22474487139 (yes, that’s its real name), is a remaster of the first game – except it’s based on a version that never released in North America. The events of Replicant connect to the sequel's bleak-yet-thoughtful story, so if you haven’t played Nier: Automata already, here’s why now is the perfect time. The upgraded version of the original Nier, Nier Replicant ver. And yet, here I am – back in school, and discovering all the ways Automata continues to influence my creative process. If someone had told me four years ago that Platinum Games’ thought-provoking action/RPG would play a large role in influencing my decision to pursue a master’s degree in game design, I wouldn't have believed them. Nevertheless, last spring (2020) was the perfect time for me to finally traverse Automata’s desolate and beautiful open world.
Because of this, Nier: Automata flew under my radar. In 2017, we saw the release of blockbuster titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn.
