Jelly Deals: Nier Automata down to £19.85 this week

Nierly free.

Update 2:29 PM: Looks like Simplygames has now raised its price to £24.85. The game is still available for £19.85 at ShopTo, though. Get it while you can.

Original Story: One of the biggest, somewhat underground, successes of last year's games releases, Nier Automata, is currently discounted on PS4.

While Nier Automata may not have solidified itself as a household name when it launched just over a year ago, it was one of the year's biggest sleeper hits, garnering a truly massive fan base through word of mouth thanks to the game's ability to blend hack and slash action with extensive philosophical narrative and character development.

It's also really, really weird. In the best way.

If you missed out on this one at the time, you can now snap up a boxed copy on PS4 for £19.85 while stocks last, from SimplyGames. In contrast, the game is currently still listed at £30 on Amazon.

If you'd like another opinion, Eurogamer gave the game a Recommended and you can see an entire 23 minutes of the game, as played by the lovely Johnny Chiodini, on the video below.
