16.8.2022
There’s a dramatic scene in Nier: Automata in which a desperate, downtrodden android commands his AI companion to cease all logical functions. The AI, sensible thing that it is, warns him that there’s almost no chance this will end well. Our hero knows this, of course; he does it anyway. This leads...
The Best Time To Play Nier: Automata Is Right Now
1.8.2022
Nier: Automata spent the last week in the headlines, the result of a secret door that sent the community into a scramble. The mystery itself may have come to a sudden, surprising conclusion, but that doesn’t mean the base game it was part of should drop off your radar. In fact, it’s all the more...

Nier: Automata Secret Door Nobody Can Figure Out Keeps Getting Weirder
27.7.2022
Factions. In-fighting. The whispers of a bounty. For the past few days, the Nier: Automata community has been tearing itself apart over a secret chamber no one knows how to enter, which could be anything from a prank to cut content to a well-executed spot of viral marketing. Only one thing...
Nier: Automata Players Are Losing It Over A Secret Room, And No One Knows How To Get In
26.7.2022
Nier: Automata players are collectively losing their minds over a room. It’s not just any room: No one, save for seemingly one person, has been able to access it. Even the player who discovered the chamber appears to know how to enter it, which makes the whole thing extra confounding.Read more

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: Automata's Broken Steam Version Is Finally Getting An Update
14.4.2021
Nier: Automata’s original PC release on Steam was busted in all kinds of ways, so much so that fans had to go and make their own patches. Now, fours years after it was released—and only a few months after a less-busted version appeared on the Microsoft Store—the developers are finally going...
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...

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...
