NieR: Automata, like its prequel Nier, is set in a post-apocalyptic world. The game puts the players in the middle of a war between the alien-created robots and human-created androids as seen through the eyes of the androids 2B, 9S, and A2. The game was lauded for it's massive replayability, as at least three playthroughs were required to get a good grasp of the story.

NieR: Automata, developed by Platinum Games, and published by Square Enix, was first released in February 23, 2017 in Japan for the PlayStation 4. The release for the rest of the world as well as a Windows version was released within a few weeks. While the Windows port were poorly received due to gameplay bugs and technical issues, a good majority of these were fixed by an official patch t hat followed soon after. Despite these, reception of the RPG still surpassed expectations. Across 2017 and 2018, NieR: Automata were nominated for a plethora of awards and won several, including Best Score/Music at The Game Awards 2017. As of the time of writing, NieR: Automata has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide.
