Let's change things up a bit for this entry. Why don't we look at a time that you can hack a boss?

Nier: Automata is an incredible experience and an achievement in storytelling. It's thought provoking, emotional and asks many questions without delivering all the answers.

One thing it is superb in is combat, which is a testament to the brilliant minds at PlatinumGames. One of the many attacks you can use is the ability to hack enemies - including bosses.

By hacking, you're placed inside a top-down shooter mini-game, as you're tasked to dodge many attacks and blast away mini ships. It's an addictive little game, that also provides damage to the enemies you are fighting.

By hacking bosses you can lay down some devastating blows and turn the tide of battle in your favour. It's only fair after the many games that have twisted the rules against you!

In times when video game bosses often gain the upper hand through unfair means, having this useful tool at your disposal is a triumphant feeling. Not only that, but the mini-game itself is extremely addictive.
