26.2.2024
It’s been just over seven years since the release of action RPG Nier: Automata took the world by storm and familiarized a wider audience with series creator Yoko Taro. Since its 2017 launch, Nier: Automata has remained a constant presence, from its 2022 anime adaptation, to a 2019 crossover with...
NieR 3 Already Exists, But Not For Long
29.1.2024
Nearly seven years after the release of NieR:Automata, fans are still clamoring for a third entry in the series helmed by Yoko Taro. While we are all eagerly awaiting another AAA console game in the DrakenNier universe, it’s easy to forget that a sequel is already available to play—but it won’t...
Nier Automata's Latest Video Game Crossover Is Its Horniest One Yet
31.8.2023
Nier: Automata, a fatalistic video game about attractive androids fighting to save a doomed humanity, is a franchise that’ll never say no to making a guest appearance in another video game regardless of how nonsensical the crossover might be. In the six years since its release, the sci-fi...
Nier Creator Yoko Taro Lost His Iconic Mask At Anime Expo 2023
4.7.2023
Typically, whenever Nier creator Yoko Taro makes an appearance, the auteur keeps his face hidden from the public with a giant mask based on Emil, the strange-looking Nier character. However, while attending Anime Expo 2023 to promote his new anime, fans witnessed a new and honestly pretty...

28.6.2022
Nintendo announced today during its Mini Direct Partner Showcase that PlatinumGames’ moody action-RPG Nier: Automata is coming to the Switch on October 6. Dubbed The End of YoRHa Edition, this launch will include previously released add-ons such as the “3C3C1D119440927" DLC as well as...
Anno: Mutationem: The Kotaku Review
30.3.2022
Anno: Mutationem is an overly ambitious love letter with one too many recipients. While the game has an interesting gumbo of ideas, its story buckles under the weight of living up to the very properties it attempts to pay tribute to. Ultimately, Mutationem’s ending fails to deliver a satisfying...
Babylon's Fall Bombed, But Square Enix Swears It's Not Dead
18.3.2022
Babylon’s Fall came out earlier this month, and already it feels like it’s on life support. The only reason it seemed to make any splash at all amidst the current release calendar onslaught was because of just how bad it is. Now publisher Square Enix is trying to reassure fans the new worst...
Nier: Automata's Broken Steam Version Will Finally Be Updated This Week
14.7.2021
Nier: Automata’s PC port was a disaster, one so bad we’ve written headlines about it like “It’s Ridiculous That Nier: Automata Still Hasn’t Been Patched On PC”, and then when Square Enix seemed unwilling (or unable) to fix it “Fan Creates Patch To Fix Nier: Automata’s Graphics.”Read more
Babylon's Fall, Platinum's Fantasy Action Game, Has Nier Vibes
13.6.2021
Babylon’s Fall exists. If you are most people, you’re probably thinking, “What the heck is Babylon’s Fall?” But for a very specific subset of people, this is fantastic news, given that they’ve been waiting since 2019 to hear more about Nier: Automata and Bayonetta developer Platinum Games’ latest...
The Nier Replicant Remaster Does Many Good Things And One Awful Thing
23.4.2021
I played the original Nier back in 2010 and thoroughly enjoyed it despite the main character being a hideous troll of an old man. Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, with the handsome younger hero originally exclusive to Japan, looks, plays, and feels better overall, save the unfortunate inclusion...
Final Fantasy XIV’s Latest Update Is Full of Dragons, Drama, and Drakengard References
19.4.2021
Last week Final Fantasy XIV released the first half of its final Shadowbringers update, entitled Death Unto Dawn, alongside the launch of its PS5 beta. This is the last major patch before the game’s highly anticipated Endwalker expansion, and it makes for an engaging and challenging burst...
Nier Replicant Gets Off To A Really Slow Start
29.3.2021
After playing and being thoroughly wrecked by Nier: Automata, I was curious if Nier: Replicant ver.1.22474487139… the “version up” (since according to the developers it’s not a remake or a remaster) of the original Nier would inspire similar emotional devastation. I have dim memories of the first...

18.3.2021

Nier: Automata Dumped Me And I’m Okay With It
11.1.2021
I finally finished Nier: Automata and I don’t think I’ll ever play it again. I don’t mean that in an, “Oh thank god the game is over, I am free now,” way that I felt finishing The Last Of Us 2—a game hellbent on holding on to you long after what any normal, non-sadistic storyteller would consider...
Nier: Automata's "Final Secret" Has Been Found And It Lets You Skip The Whole Game
3.1.2021
A new secret cheat code has been found in Neir: Automata that lets players skip the entire game after only beating the first boss. This new discovery has also been confirmed to be the “final secret” that the game’s developers teased a few years ago.Read more
With Xbox Game Pass I Am Too Powerful
30.12.2020
Through a bit of luck, I managed to acquire an Xbox Series S for the holidays. I’ve only had it for about a week now, but the slim, be-speakered machine—and, more specifically, the Game Pass subscription I purchased for it—has utterly changed my gaming life in ways I’m still trying to process.Read...
How The Past Year Got Me Thinking Of Post Apocalyptic Games In A New Light
27.12.2020
Almost every day, I go for a walk with my kid. She’s just over two. There’s a strange serenity in the isolation of entire city blocks when there’s so few people out and about. In the first few months of the pandemic, it felt like we were walking through an abandoned city. I’ve lived in...
