15 Best Video Game Moments Of 2017 (So Far)

6. That 'Three Genres In One' Opening - NieR: Automata

There are a LOT of incredible moments in the mind-bending NieR, but while most are story-related, it's the opening sequence that really makes its mark.

Comprising the sort of hack n' slashery Platinum Games are best known for, in a fantastic move you'll also see the camera move to the side, reframing the action into a side-scroller with enemies coming from both sides. Though, there's still more: occasionally the action will swoop to an overhead perspective, changing the genre yet again to a bullet hell arcade shooter.

It's only through a solid moveset of melee slashes, dodges and firepower that Platinum are able to weave so many purely action-based moments together, but they do it with such seamlessness, it honestly makes you wonder what else these guys can do in the future.
