I just bought Nier: Automata but it's not my cup of tea. There are several games, though, with great deals. Had Guardians of the Galaxy, Dishonored 2, Sid Meier's Civilization VI, the Mafia Collection, Sekiro, Elden Ring and Spider Man begging me to buy them, but I don't know what to buy. Maybe I'm too old for this.
I enjoyed the original The Last of Us and story-driven games, but I'm not strange to the Souls games (loved Bloodborne), or even strategy games like Xcom. GTA-like games are attractive to me too, particularly Red Dead Redemption. Any thoughts, recommendations?
How far into Nier Automata did you get, may I ask? It could be worth sticking through past the credits. It's one of those games where the side quests actually add to the experience, as well, so if you're not doing those you're missing some of the philosophy.
I know that's a lot of work to enjoy something, though, and that's not everyone's cup of tea!
Not too far, tbh. That's why I was convinced it's not for me. I'll try again to see if that philosophy shines playing forward. Thanks.
