You absolutely want to avoid spoilers, so that this philosophical journey can have maximum impact on you. This game astounds with its inventiveness, not only when it comes to its large bosses, but also in how it tells its story. 2D can become stranger, faster, and more resilient with different chips, adding a role-playing skill enhancement element to the mix.

Nier: Automata is an action-adventure, but it effortlessly combines gaming genres: one moment, you chain combos together in Devil May Cry-style hack-and-slash combat, and the next you feel as if you are in a bullet hell sidescroller.

Your character, an android called 2B, was originally designed to fight a proxy war for the human race. If you are looking to play a Japanese game on your Xbox One, that isn't a JRPG, you can't go wrong with Nier: Automata.
