Nier Automata was The Architect's favourite game of last year. Not because of its gameplay, or even because of 2B's sexy thighs, but because of its groundbreaking approach to philosophy and the art of games.

In a departure from the norm, The Architect gives you a crash course on reading a game from a literary perspective. Yeah this totally what all the people who subscribed because of the 40k video wanted.
