Well, color me impressed that three amazing, great games, NieR: Automata, Ghostrunner, and Undertale, are headed to PlayStation Now this month. If you haven’t already checked out my piece on PS Now, I’ve been damned critical of the service as of late. Even going as far to state that perhaps PlayStation needs to kick it in gear and start bringing some bangers to the service. So either we’re on the same page, they read my piece, or whatnot, I don’t care. I do care that these three games are a fine addition to PS Now, and the service could benefit from them.
All three games will be available on PlayStation Now as of August 3rd, 2021; however, NieR: Automata will exit the service on November 1st, 2021. Why, PlayStation, why?
In any event, if you’re a member of PlayStation Now and you HAVEN’T played these gems, you’ll have no excuse as of tomorrow. So many sure you play them, ok?
Nier: Automata
In this captivating action RPG, invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing machine lifeforms. To break the deadlock, a new breed of android infantry is sent into the fray: the YoRHa squad. Join androids 2B and 9S in their ferocious battle to reclaim an overrun dystopia and experience mesmerizing, high-speed combat that’s the specialty of development studio PlatinumGames.
Nier: Automata is available until Monday, November 1, 2021.
Ghostrunner
Wield a blade and perform amazing parkour feats to battle your way up a megastructure tower city in this intense, fast-paced first-person adventure. Slice your enemies with a monomolecular katana, dodge bullets with your superhuman reflexes, and employ a variety of specialized techniques to prevail. One-hit one-kill mechanics make combat fast and intense. Use your superior mobility (and frequent checkpoints!) to engage in a fearless, never-ending dance with death.
Undertale
<
p class=””>In this top-down adventure, control a human who falls underground into the world of monsters. Now you must find your way out… or stay trapped forever! Explore a rich RPG world full of strange and delightful characters where violence isn’t the only answer: every enemy can be defeated nonviolently. Negotiate out of danger using a unique battle system. Dance with a slime…pet a dog…whisper your favorite secret to a knight…or ignore all of that and rain destruction upon your foes. The choices are yours—but are you determined enough to prevail?
