Alright, so here’s the deal. One moment I’m browsing through the PlayStation Store — don’t even know why I bother sometimes — and next thing I know, there’s another promo dancing around. The Big Games Big Deals thing is the new kid on the block, winking at us with promises of up to 70% off. Yeah, you read that right. It’s like that one sales event leaves and another pops up. Like clockwork. Anyway, remember that 2017 Game of the Year nominee? Yeah, it’s part of the deal.
So, yeah, about NieR: Automata. Can’t believe it’s 60% off! You’ve got it at $15.99, instead of the usual $39.99. But hey, don’t sleep on it — it’s vanishing in a week. Mark your calendar for May 8, 2:59 a.m. ET, or you might snooze and lose.
There’s this dramatic game pitch: “Invaders from another world attack without warning – unleashing the machine lifeforms.” Sounds like something out of a late-night sci-fi movie, doesn’t it? To sort this mess, new android infantry, the YoRHa squad, dives headfirst. Critics adored it. It’s like they dipped action RPGs in some magical storytelling sauce.
Now, here’s what you get with the NieR: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition — it’s like a digital Christmas stocking:
– 3C3C1D119440927 DLC (whatever that is)
– Play System Pod Skin
– Cardboard Pod Skin
– Retro Skins (Gray & Red, because why not?)
– Grimoire Weiss Pod (fancy name, right?)
– amazarashi Head Pod Skin
– Machine Mask Accessory (futuristic disguise, perhaps?)
– PS4 Dynamic Theme
– Some Avatars for the PS4 crowd
Oh, and if you’re on the fence—because, hey, commitment’s hard—there’s a free demo hovering around on the PS Store. No pressure.
Flashback to 2017: NieR: Automata launches and critics are basically throwing confetti. Metacritic slapped it with an average score of 88, over 101 reviews (someone had the time to count). Winning trophies left and right — Best Score/Music at The Game Awards, Role-Playing Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards, blah, blah. Anyway, folks seemed to love it.
So, yeah. Go get it or don’t. Just thought it was worth a mention.
