NieR. A game that became a legend during the era of PlayStation 3. Its aftermarket prices were as high as prices of new releases available in the stores.

The popularity of this title increased gradually, as more details about the game were emerging over time. Finally, after the premiere, it not only turned out to be extremely original in terms of visual style, but also offered an incredible experience of gameplay mechanics and an interesting story.

The protagonists of NieR Automata are new characters – androids, who have found a safe refuge on the Moon after the Earth was destroyed during the war against the machines.
