Having seen plenty of YouTube vids still didn't prepare me enough. This game is fantastic. So immersive. The intro itself is just brilliant. Not gonna spoil anything, just play it!!

Action rpg with an open world to explore. Story is top notch, side quests are better than average and add to the overall story experience. multiple endings, which I personally dislike but is standard with many jrpg games. science fiction theme

After 50+ hours, I have finally finished Nier: Automata and have seen all of the true endings in the game. This is one of those games that when you finish it, you immediately go to Reddit, Facebook, Youtube, anywhere you can to have an official discussion about the game with other people who have...

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.

Enthralling narrative; varied gameplay; oozes with originality

NieR: Automata is a special game. It's special not because of its great combat, amazing animations, or its magical soundtrack. It's special because of the questions it asks. What does it mean to be alive

On the surface, it can be easy to assume that Nier: Automata is more of a Platinum Games product than a Yoko Taro game. Do not be mistaken - this game is definitely pure Yoko Taro at his most Taro-iest, but with the deft polish that one could expect from a game developed by Platinum Games.

Buy NieR: Automata Created by eccentric director Yoko Taro, Drakengard and its spinoff Nier are greater than the sum of their parts. The strange world and characters carry gameplay that varies from bad to average. Perhaps that is why Nier: Automata works as well as it does.

A hallmark of excellence. It may have some flaws, but they are negligible to what is otherwise a supreme title.
