5. Nier Automata Route C

There are a few late title screens we’re highlighting on this list but one that takes the entirety of two games to reach is probably the latest one of all. To reach the opening credits and title screen for Nier Automata Route C you need to play through the game twice and then you’re kicked into the next major plot point in a story that, don’t worry, I absolutely wouldn’t spoil for you here.

For those who heavily invested in this one, especially through the intense repetition of Route B, learning that the game has only just begun was a jaw-dropping moment.

The soundtrack is properly stunning, your connection to the characters at this point is fully cemented, and the true opening, which still takes an hour to get to after you’ve played the game twice, had fans awestruck. The title drop itself appears in total silence after, well to put it without spoilers, s**t absolutely hits the fan, and you then embody A2 and 9S.

Even if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, the complexity and ambition of Nier Automata’s storytelling can’t be denied and it’s end-to-end epic. Title card included.
