NieR: Automata
Once more, while leaning into the action aspect of Slitterhead, we have NieR: Automata. It’s certainly not a horror game unless you’re terrified of machines. If you are, you’ll be happy to learn that NieR allows you to wield various weapons and attacks to smash those machines to bits. It’s a satisfying albeit odd gameplay loop that, once it clicks for you, it’ll stick with you for quite some time.
One thing I wanted from Slitterhead was larger environments to explore, and I think NieR perfectly nails that aspect and its combat. It’s just all-around satisfying.
