Y’know, I always find it amusing how one sale ends, and bam—another one takes its place on the PlayStation Store. It’s like a never-ending carousel of discounts. Right now, there’s this thing called the Big Games Big Deals going on. Yeah, it’s as grand as it sounds. You can snag up to 70% off some mind-blowing PS4 and PS5 games. I kid you not. And uh, one of them happens to be a 2017 Game of the Year contender. Go figure.
So, here’s the kicker — NieR: Automata. Heard of it, right? The Game of the YoRHa Edition has its price slashed by 60%. Wild, huh? Normally it’s $39.99, and now you can get it for just $15.99. But—and there’s always a but—you gotta move quickly. This deal vanishes into thin air on May 8 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Why 2:59 a.m.? Beats me. Must be some store wizardry.
Get this: “Invaders from another world plunge into chaos without warning—setting loose the machine lifeforms.” Ah, gotta love the drama of it. To break that chaos, they throw in some badass YoRHa androids. It’s like an epic sci-fi opera mixed with RPG magic. The critics raved about it, too. Can’t blame them.
Extra goodies? Oh, absolutely. The YoRHa Edition isn’t just the game; it’s the game and some fancy extras. You get this whole bundle of DLCs and quirky add-ons. Ever fancied a Play System Pod or a Cardboard Pod? No? Well, you’ll get them anyway. There’s also this amazarashi Head Pod Skin that I find oddly endearing. Plus, a PS4 Dynamic Theme that jazzes up your console, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Curious but kinda hesitant? No problem. There’s a free demo up on the PS Store. A little taste test, if you will.
Back in 2017, when NieR: Automata first hit the scene, the reviews were glowing. Seriously, it scored an 88 on Metacritic. Not too shabby, right? And the awards—my goodness. Best Score/Music at The Game Awards 2017, Role-Playing Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards, and more. Sounds like a no-brainer to snag this deal, but hey, your call.
Anyway, if you’re into action-packed narratives with a sprinkle of existential musings—wait, do I sound too philosophical? Eh, whatever. Give it a whirl. Or maybe just enjoy the chaos.
