Nier: Automata Reviews
If, like me, you're a fan of previous productions by NieR and Drakengard, you'll be thrilled. I encourage others to get acquainted with NieR Automata – perhaps the created world will enchant you so much that you will reach for other games from the universe

Yoko Taro has once again demolished conventions and brought a deep and elaborate story that wants you to immerse yourself in it as deeply as possible. Platinum Games has brought a lot of fun action, sophisticated RPG elements and great work with the player and his leadership across options and genre tropics. Nier: Automata is also a game with overlap – both human and philosophical, which, for example, presented himself in the form of inspirations by philosophers such as Kant or Kierkegaard.

By genre, you could say that Nier: Automata is an action role-playing game. But the reality is that it's a whole lot more.
NieR: Automata is a great, teetering game tilting from possible profundity to surreal spectacle on a delightful lurch.
So as I sit here drinking the last of my fine lager, pondering the meaning of existence, I wholeheartedly recommend you pour yourself a glass of Nier Automata too. PlatinumGames has had many high points throughout its 11-year existence, but never has it delivered something quite as mesmerising as Nier Automata, an action-RPG to be truly savoured.
Despite its minor blemishes, this is a quintessential title to own if you own a PlayStation 4.
NieR: Automata is not a perfect game, but it's damn near close to perfection. I've enjoyed every moment of it, and although the post-apocalyptic Earth felt a little synthetic, perhaps that was the point. Missing out on NieR: Automata would be missing out on one of the better JRPG's I've played in a long time. The game explored interesting themes through the means of multiple genres, all executed to the highest of standards, and it deserves credit for that. If you're a fan of "the PlatinumGames touch", be sure to grab NieR: Automata - you won't regret it.
NieR: Automata is an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end (or ends, to be a bit more accurate).
Nier Automata is a better game than the original in every way possible. Although performance issues may annoy some players, you wouldn't want to miss out on some classy combat, amazing story and perhaps the best action game you can play on your PS4 right now.
NieR: Automata is a triumph of creativity, superlative combat, interesting characters and is just an all-round great game. Its short-but-sweet story is given substantial depth by a game structure that encourages and incentivises multiple playthroughs
I'd tell you to expect the unexpected, but NieR: Automata steps outside of its comfort zone too often for you to become comfortable. For a game about questioning your purpose and identity, NieR: Automata seems comfortable in its own skin.
Aliens attacked earth and left robots to deal with the remains, we sent robots to deal with their robots.
What is lacks in scale is made up for in its sense of style - and improving upon both next time around could result in something utterly remarkable.
Nier: Automata is a brilliant, slick action RPG pumped with so many cool and distinct features, and a story that that I could keep talking about all day, but let's not spoil what should be experienced, nor bore everyone with mechanics and finish up the review with a final statement.
Equally fantastic and frustrating, NieR: Automata can be compelling and frantic one minute and then drag you down with annoying filler segments and a terrible open world the next. The good ultimately outweighs the bad, but I did wish a bit more was put into some elements.
A truly brave experiment in game design, which overcomes its erratic elements and occasional repetition with a remarkable piece of storytelling.
Deep story and fluid combat make Nier: Automata a truly special experience.
An engaging, action-packed and even relaxing exploration of existentialism. Nier: Automata merges action and RPG as seamlessly as it switches cameras angles from player-controlled to fixed scroller. Have your pick of reading a visual novel and threading the plot together, or hack and slash through waves of enemies in a gorgeous dance - I did them all, and I loved every minute. Worth full price.
NieR:Automata succeds in a lot of elements: a complex and deep story, with a unique style of narration, a distopic and totally story driven open world and a fantastic mix between hack'n'slash and jRPG style.
