Nier: Automata - The End of YoRHa Edition Reviews
While I appreciate the wild swings and big ideas that Nier: Automata presents, the simple fact remains that it's just not engaging enough as a game or as a story to warrant as many playthroughs as it demands. It could probably work better as an OVA. But as a game, it's just a frustrating work of repetition and dire plotting.

I had the feeling going in that I would really like Nier: Automata, but I wasn’t ready for just how much. It’s packed with great character moments, an interesting world and mysteries to uncover that will keep you pushing on. The game itself is designed to be played through multiple times to uncover everything that it has to offer, it’s FAR from over when you hit the credits screen for the first time, so do as the game suggests and jump back in again, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. It features 26 different endings, some far more rewarding and significant than others but all providing another perspective or something new on the story overall. If you’re interested in playing, just jump in and do it, it’s well worth your time.
With NieR: Automata – The End of YoRHa Edition, the highly popular title finally arrives on the Nintendo Switch. This is the exact same game, with the same phenomenal narrative and addicting gameplay.
Nier: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is a game that easily stood out in 2017 and continues to stand out today with almost the same ease amongst the plethora of releases we see on the market.

A game that everyone should try and reflect with every argument it drops left and right. The philosophical theme, the daring script, the melancholy of its art, the theatrical interpretation of each scene... all these are points that Nier:Automata reaches with a unique personality like few video games. In addition, The End of the YoRHa Edition more than fulfills what is expected as a Switch port.

Although with occasional reservations in narrative, gameplay and audiovisual aspects, NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is a highly creative, ingenious, sensitive and deep game, with many coherent layers. In addition, it manages to be accessible and fun while experimentally integrating its exotic choices of battle, interface, music and others around humanistic and existential issues.

Nier: Automata - The End of YoRHa Edition is the best port of Nier: Automata that the Nintendo Switch could receive, and possibly the best port ever made on the system. If anyone has not yet played this outstanding work by Yoko Taro and Platinum Games, in this version you have a new opportunity that you should not miss.

NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is an immaculate port that should be placed as the bar for what is a prime example in how to bring Triple-A, third party titles of a grand scale to a smaller platform. It's the cleanest experience I've had in any port from a powerhouse like the PS4, XBOX or PC to the Nintendo Switch, that makes it a must experience or ultimately an essential to your existing Switch library.
Here’s the weird conclusion to this weird port of a really weird game: I don’t think the Switch version of NieR: Automata is worth your time, despite it being, for all intents and purposes, excellent. Considering the limitations of the hardware it was ported into, it’s a godlike effort, but one that makes it the worst version ever released for this game, by far. You’re not getting the best version of its soundtrack, you’re not getting the best visuals, you’re not getting the best framerate. Even though you could, in theory, play it all on docked mode, why bother? You can get better performing and cheaper versions of it elsewhere.
NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition brings the excellent action title to Switch in what is easily the most accessible version to date.
