Nier: Automata is brilliant. Its mature storytelling is filled with intrigue and philosophy explored through fascinating character work that delves into the depths of the human experience and the complications inherent in artificial intelligence. Combined with some incredibly tight and fluid gameplay that pulls together a multitude of ideas with ease, it’s made all the more impressive by the multiple endings and massive replayability. Taro and Platinum Games deserve praise for creating a game that values the player’s time with regular rewards, and one that deserves to be experienced.

One of the best games of our generation. Period. The amount of thought and heart that was poured into this one is incredible. The OST is amazing, the artwork is amazing, the story is amazing.

Few games are able to showcase the power of the medium like Nier: Automata...If history forgets this game, then f.ck history.

Nier: Automata is a delectable buffet of remarkable experiences that seamlessly and beautifully mesh together. In spite its plethora of elements, the game doesn’t suffer from the sometimes inevitable pitfalls of trying to do too much.

Nier: Automata is a crazy, beautiful, and highly entertaining journey full of nutty ideas and awesome gameplay. It may not include the most sensical story or compelling characters, but its frenzied combat -- coupled with beautiful visuals and a stunning soundtrack – make it too much fun to pass up.

Excellent action jumble of genres and play styles, which does not look that good, but all its cons are masked by its great story and unconventional narrative. Automata definitely isn’t for everyone. But if you are not afraid of the Japanese weirdness and instead of sweet tearjerkers you’d want a proper depression with philosophical questions, you won’t regret buying this game.

Loads of interesting ideas and plenty of good intentions, but nothing sticks. It’s like it was made by a team of people with super short attention spans. They’d come up with a good idea, carry it half way, then get distracted by another thought, and do it all over again until ending up with an unfocused, unsatisfying, incomplete product.

Beni şaşırtan bir oyun! Oyuna girince tam anlamamıştım ne oynadığımı, farklı farklı oynanışları. 2D ve 3D şeklinde sizi oynatıyor, bunu garip bulmuştum, daha önce görmediğimdendir ama sevdim. Karakterimiz seksi, ama fazla abartmamışlar. Sosyal medyadakiler karakteri fazla cinselleştiriyorlar (şaşırmadım). Karakterleri sevdim bağ kurabildim, robot olmalarına rağmen. Oyun favorim müzikleri ve hikayesi oldu. Bi kötü yanı oyunu tekrar tekrar bitirmemiz, bunu daha iyi hale getirebilirlerdi.

6,6/10 por enquanto, pois estou no início do final B, mas sem vontade nenhuma de continuar pois achei o combate fraco, chefes esquecíveis, mapa grande sem nada nele, inimigos todos iguais, um dia talvez eu termine e daí mudarei a nota, ou não

I've finished the game twice. ONLY twice because the third walktrough was very annoying for me. I know that is the OG game but doesn't care... The soundtrack, story btw were awesome, the graphics is not the best one, it is a quite deep stuff.

Me ha robado 40 horas de mi vida. He continuado descubriendo el "profundo" lore y, como tiene tanta fama, he seguido porque pensé que los secretos mejorarían, que no sería algo vago que se te ocurre en una ****. Si durara 3 horas y no se intentara tomar tan en serio sería mucho mejor

I'm a big JRPG fan and I even liked Nier Replicant a lot but Nier Automata didn't contain anything I like about a game and eapecially exploration. The story does not make any sense. Also thought we would know a bit more about Emile since it's a major character in Replicant but here, he's just a normal seller NPC.
