8 Secret Campaigns Hidden In Video Games

7. Nier Automata

I absolutely adore Neir Automata.

This is a title that is completely unafraid to be itself, and the sheer confidence it exudes in its brilliant battle mechanics and utterly insane storytelling pulls the player down the rabbit hole with it for one of the wildest experiences in recent memory. After all what other games let you battle the CEO of Platinum Games and Square Enix themselves.

However, before we lose our minds at moments designed to break them, let's talk about how utterly brilliant the pacing of the game's narrative structure is.

After completing what you assume to be the only section of the game as 2B, the title offers up a remix of the events with you now playing as 9S, bringing with it new gameplay mechanics to makes things feel completely fresh.

However, just as you're settling into this story and seeing it through to the end, the title hints that you should play through the game just once more time, and by doing so, you best be prepared to take a sword to your heart.

Turns out everything you thought you know about the game is about to be upended, as soon you'll take control of another character, A2, and begin another brand new adventure.

Seriously, this is the game that just keeps on giving.
