Nier Automata

How might games take up the banner dropped by our loss of Le Guin?

Sometimes laughing, crying, and singing karaoke with your sworn brother are the best medicine for a terrible year.

Everyone's (least) favorite know-it-all from 'Nier: Automata' learns a lesson.

2017 was a year of bullshit. But it was ALSO a year of sad robots, horrifying monsters, and chicken dinners.

Whether you were running from terrifying, nameless foes or facing them head on, the games of 2017 were all about war, lore, and... good music.

The developers of 2013's groundbreaking adventure game have returned with a short but sweet tale, this time in space.

Because it’s the end of June, so of course it is. We’re talking Zelda, ‘Horizon Zero Dawn,’ ‘Detention,’ ‘Edith Finch’ and many more.

Discussions of ‘The Surge,’ ‘Nier: Automata’ and others go to some weird places.
