A frustrating introduction gives way to an unforgettable conclusion. This game has the best synergy I've ever seen between the themes, presentation, story, and gameplay in a video game.

NeiR: Automata has a high risk of being looked over just because of all the other large titles that came through early on this year. However, if you find yourself with any breaks, or if you're a fan of a great action game with polished combat, make sure not to overlook Automata .

This game is for now the best game of 2017 for me. It cannot by described as one genre. Automata is jrpg/slasher/bullet hell/quasi sandbox. It's fun to play. And soundtrack is incredilbe and awesome! Unfortunate game little lacks in graphic department but overall is good.

Nier: Automata is a bit of an oddball. For starters, and aside from just generally being a bit bat-shit (we'll get onto that much later), it's a spiritual sequel to a game that was merely a cult hit and that I don't think many expected to actually be made.

Brilliant; fast paced and creative combat; Quirky narrative and world; Depth to story that demands multiple playthroughs; Interesting gameplay and level design dynamics; Stunning soundtrack

Perspective changes can be jarring; Skill system is convoluted and messy; Some quality of life issues that cause frustration

If you're a fan of the Drakengard games or Nier, this is a must buy game. If you're a fan of Platinum Games, you need to get this. The action combat is the best in any rpg, and the story is crazy like all games that have Yoko Taro involved in development.

Nier: Automata is the symbol of Yoko Taro's excellent writing and PlatinumGames' young and amazing talent. The gameplay is absolutely solid and consistently stays fresh with the addition of new weapons and features.

Great game, would definitely recommend. Postage and payment were both a breeze too.

Definitely worth a purchase if you are interested in RPG type games. If you are a casual gamer this may not be for you, some serious hours of gaming are to be had from this game. Argos were also the cheapest seller of this game.

Enthralling narrative; varied gameplay; oozes with originality

Bugs that clearly should've been ironed out for the PC release; too obscure at times

Graphics look unpolished The DLC code didnt work(for me) And the global store kept messing the delivery up All in all it was good game - the story gets anime-ish "and" overdramatic at times, freeroam feels funny but the combat is fun - many enemy types to mess with,etc,etc.
