Re: What are you faggots playing?

Just finished Neir: Automata This game is incredibly japanese, strange, depressing and difficult to describe. But it's also pretty cool, and one of the more novel games I've ever played. The secret lore was a bit hard to follow when I've never played the other Neir games but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
