The narrative does not seem to be that complex.
Regardless of your choice, the storyline remains the same.

This revelation is often overwhelming and just makes you realize the uniqueness of this title.
PlayingJourneya second time helps you appreciate the anonymous strangers you share your adventure with.
The game has always received praise for its artistic auditory and incredible visuals.
But most importantly, it’s ability to create moving relationships among players.
Since its release,Journeyhas won several awards and been nominated for various others.
Neir: Automata
you could never experience any dull moments playingNeir: Automata.
This is because of the constant action thrown your way at every stage you play.
The game features multiple playthroughs, which open additional events in the already complex story.
Having multiple playable characters does not necessarily help make the storyline more apparent.

For instance, the actions of one of the characters may enable another character to achieve a certain goal.
This aspect of the game makesNier: Automataone of the most outstanding video games.
