Simple enough, but that doesn’t even scratch the surface of a game which caused a combination of an existential crisis, existential dread and depression for many who played it. They soon learn however, that the situation on Earth isn’t exactly as black and white as life on the YoRHa bunker. We see the story unfold through the perspectives of three YoRHa androids 2B, 9S and A2 as they spend their days fighting the 14th Machine War on Earth and exploring what’s left of it. The remaining humans have retreated to the moon and YoRHa - an elite android force has been deployed to reclaim Earth. Earth, which had been taken over by extraterrestrials has now been overrun by an army of sentient machine lifeforms. Without venturing into spoiler territory, the setting is as thus: One such story is told in NieR: Automata. There are compelling, hauntingly beautiful, captivating and incredibly moving stories in these games. Compare a video game’s storyline to most books published today and chances are you’ll find a far better storyline with better writing from a video game than in a book published by a mainstream publisher. Video games are another medium for story telling after all. Of course, there are some animated adaptations that are better left untouched (looking at you, Persona 5: The Animation). Headlining the list, we have Arcane ( League of Legends), Castlevania, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (responsible for popularizing Cyberpunk 2077), to name a few. And while live-action adaptations are mostly doomed to fail, animations on the other hand have been fairly successful. There’s been an increasing number of video games being adapted for the screen of late.
