Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Nier Automata
It's just an action-RPG, not sure what ground was being broken when it released the first time.
I love this game. I remember playing the PS3 version Nier.
My first JRPG!
Also, what genres are being mixed here?
There are some times the camera angle is changed and locked to make it 2d side scroller for certain parts, and some parts reminiscent of some arcade games like 1945 Air Force: Airplane. And "hacking" opens a mini game mode that feels like a mobile game. On top of that, the lore and story is great and gameplay is fun. There are also collectibles if that's your thing. And it still has the classic leveling and gear progression common to JRPGs.
