In case you haven't heard, a new section was added to the PlayStation Store not too long ago which highlights games that certain developers and industry figures recommend. The latest featured list is from none other than Yoko Taro, the director of NieR: Automata, or, as he's otherwise known, that guy who wears the big creepy mask and shouts "sh*t Square Enix!" in marketing videos.
Taro's selection of PlayStation 4 titles is rock solid. He's gone with exclusives Resogun, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Gravity Rush 2, and The Last Guardian. On the third party side of things, he's picked Final Fantasy XV, Life Is Strange, and the Danganronpa series. Can't really go wrong with any of that, can you?
On Final Fantasy XV in particular, Taro dishes out some interesting comments on the PlayStation Blog: "Looking back, I feel like I was trapped by the curse of Versus for about 10 years. This game and its content created over the course of 10 years is unparalleled and unique, and I enjoyed it a lot. The one thing that surprised me the most is their incomprehensible passion towards food and beverage. FF is amazing."
Perhaps even more entertaining, Taro has this to say about Danganronpa: "By the way, I go out to drink with the scenario writer Kazutaka Kodata once in a while too, but when I saw his piercing eyes that appear as though he doesn’t trust anyone around him, I thought “ah, he does seem like the person that would create a mad game like Danganronpa…”
What a quote that is.

And my favourite PS4 game is Nier Automata As fun as FF15 was, Nier is in a different league and I'd love to see this guy direct a FF game (with the budget to match).
That's a pretty solid list, the guy knows what he's talking about.
You'd think Nier would be on the list.
Not Minecraft and GTA V then
@Enuo Dunno, he's quite modest, he had this to say about the scenario..
“Everyone at PlatinumGames who developed this game respected the previous title and created a spectacular game for us. I was in charge of the scenario, but it’s all poop so I don’t want you to expect too much from it.”
This article is perfect for me to tell you guys I bought Nier with my anniversary money....and the game freaking surprised me! I was not expecting an RPG like game...I totally thought the game was a linear story based game! I'm enjoying it but only got to the first base
@AFCC good to hear, the games class - make sure you play it through three times. Enjoy!!
Great to see Yoko enjoys Gravity Rush 2. Man has great taste.
@Deadlyblack Makes a lot of sense it would be on his list, your profile picture being a large reason why.
Haven't played Danganronpa and FFXV (yet), but the test are fine picks.
Gravity rush 2, horizon and the last guardian, that's a pretty good list, need nier automata though
I'm nearly 90 hour on nier automata playing for platinum, this game is one of my favourite top 5 ps4 games. If he and platinum games make action game again, I will preordered it day one.
