The gaming industry is constantly evolving, with many games fading into obscurity and being “forgotten” over time.
Only a few titles, such as games, blockbuster hits, or masterpieces with exceptional quality can withstand the test of time. Notable names like Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto V, and even The Witcher 3 have left a significant mark that endures through the years. NieR: Automata is no exception.
NieR: Automata stands out distinctly among all the aforementioned titles.
While GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and The Witcher 3 create a profound impact with their expansive worlds and stunning visuals that continue to captivate audiences today, the factor that makes NieR: Automata particularly memorable is its protagonist, the beautifully crafted character 2B. Of course, it’s worth noting that this doesn’t undermine the quality of gameplay or the exciting, engaging battles within this game. Instead, the presence of 2B leaves a lasting impression.
Looking at how Stellar Blade became a hot topic following its collaboration with NieR: Automata, particularly due to the appearance of 2B, we can see her impact. Even after nearly a decade since its release, NieR: Automata remains a top choice among games for various special collaboration events. Regarding 2B’s character, countless mods and fan art that capture her essence have successfully maintained the “goddess” status of this character.
Thus, while NieR: Automata is renowned primarily for 2B, it doesn’t fully encompass the game’s entirety. However, it must be acknowledged that this game can be considered “timeless,” especially with regard to the character 2B, whose allure is undeniable to many.
