I’m shocked with the scope, the size, and the feel to a game that is now two years old (as of March 7th). It is still very much a unique title that offers up about everything you ever dreamed in one single experience. The fact that you’ll want to replay it speaks volumes about what is in store for you. There aren’t a lot of games that make you want to revisit them so quickly, but NieR: Automata is definitely one of them.

Nier: Automata is a really compelling piece of science fiction. It builds on the thematic foundation of sentient robots and takes into a bold and heart-wrenching direction. The emotionally rich saga is further bolstered by an intensely memorable soundtrack that add so much flavor and extra dimension to the multiform narrative.

NieR:Automata remains one of the greatest games of this generation, if not of all time. And with all of the game's content available in one complete package, there's no excuse to not check it out now. If you're someone who already owns the game, however, the Game of the YoRHa Edition doesn't offer much for you to justify buying it again.

It’s no question that NieR: Automata is one of the most memorable video game experiences in this current generation, and the NieR:Automata: Game of the YoRHa Edition is a convenient and cost-effective entry point for newcomers.

A fantastic mix of explosive action and thoughtful storytelling, that results in one of the most unpredictable and ambitious action role-players of the modern era.

If you haven’t pulled the trigger on NieR: Automata yet, this is the time! As a brand new player, I feel ridiculous for waiting this long to dive in. Dearth of new content or not, the Game of The YoRHa edition is a terrific good time.

I had it pending because I’d heard wonders about its ending and meaning and… damn. What an ending(s) and what a philosophical reflection. Gameplay-wise it runs smooth as silk, but the art style, the sense of emptiness, and having to replay it multiple times to see the full story didn’t quite convince me. Still, I’m grateful that such unique and different games exist. Definitely recommended.”

boring game , I could not attach or feel interested since is so awful repetitive and storytelling is lame as hell ,as for a complexity of it´s pretentious features , gameplay is boring indeed ,this game is kind for a specific niche which do enjoy to find the more complex way to play a game and feel pride to master gameplay deficiencies . consider to bought this game into a very good offer discount , full price is not worth by anyway something good could the the artistical direction which is unique of it´s own

You basically have to play the same "campaign" twice to get to an ending. No autosaves, repeatable, no real feeling of progress in terms of your build. If it wasn't for 2B this game would fail in western market. Also after 35 hours I had less connection and care for characters than for some random NPCs in other games after 35 minutes.
