NieR: Automata – Sacrifice and the Meaning of Kindness – Extra Credits

Watch WISECRACK’s video: “The Philosophy of NieR: Automata!” https://youtu.be/UiOTSKBy6ME

Many video games offer you the chance to make “good” or “bad” choices, but often times these choices lack weight; you as a player aren’t emotionally attached to the circumstances, the causes, or the outcomes. Nier: Automata, however, lets players truly empathize with others in a crucial end-game choice.
