NieR Automata is the ultimate JRPG, mixing perfectly this genre with the Hack n' Slash style. It succeeds in every aspect: A complex and deep story, beautiful design and a unique style. This game is a true masterpiece.

This is one of the best single-player RPGs to ever embrace PC, delivering a long-lasting adventure that entertains with its exciting gameplay while piercing the senses with the story it has to tell. Arriving just days after its console version, it serves as an example that the PC platform hasn't been forgotten.
During one sublime moment, after the visuals on the screen began degrading before my eyes, I really felt as though I didn't know what the game might throw at me. At that moment, I wondered if it might be right to call "Nier; Automata" an experimental action game. In any case, I can't wait to see what Yoko Taro does next.
'NieR: Automata' surprised us as a smart action RPG with a philosophical heart that continually reinvents itself.
Yoko Tano's unique storytelling ability has matched perfectly with the committed development culture at PlatinumGames, making NieR: Automata a mature and thought-provoking action-JRPG. Its tight combat and compelling narrative sets it apart from both its predecessor and the Drakengard series, and it's utterly essential for fans of the genre.
I leave Nier: Automata behind, not just pleased with it, but enraptured by it. Hopefully you will too.
You'll have so much to do and so many ways to do it, with a series of endings as vast as a game like Torment: Tides of Numenera (which was mostly text-based). Nier: Automata begs to be replayed, even as it's punishing you for doing so.
Nier: Automata is one of the most original, surprising and brilliant games of this generation. Not perfect, but unmissable.

NieR: Automata is nearly as good of an RPG as it is an action game, which is a mighty tall order. It's tough to really strike that balance as many action-RPGs tend to favor one element over the other, but Platinum Games, with the help of Square Enix, has tapped into its innate ability to captivate us with combat while keeping the rest of the journey engaging.
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.
Few games are able to showcase the power of the medium like Nier: Automata.
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
Nier: Automata takes fantastic action and RPG elements and blends them into a game world unlike any other, creating a truly memorable experience. The game continuously pleases and surprises with terrific gameplay that is constantly transforming, and a narrative that keeps you thinking and guessing. It has a lot to offer, and is an experience that shouldn't be missed.
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. This new entry into the series improves on what made the original so great while remedying some of its predecessor’s most glaring weaknesses. PlatinumGames has done an excellent job at taking Yoko Taro’s deep and interesting world and giving it an amazing gameplay experience that fits it perfectly. Fans of the original as well as newcomers to the series will undoubtedly appreciate what Nier: Automata has to offer.
The action is superb, the story is one of gaming's best, the atmosphere and tone are easy to get lost in, and the soundtrack is a marvel, with the end game credits song being one of the best in existence.
After a couple of mediocre titles, Platinum Games are back – and they're better than ever. Nier: Automata is an almost perfect action game, with an interesting story and fluid gameplay. A must have for anyone that looking for a challenging action game.

NieR:Automata is one of the finest games I have ever played. It is a genuine masterpiece.
This new game from Platinum Games is far from perfect: it's raw, complex, sometimes even too challenging, and yet it's almost an authentic masterpiece. The unique vision of Yoko Taro, together with the strong personality of the characters, the deep and ever-changing gameplay, yield a real gem in the videogame landscape.

Nier: Automata have been able to absorb the very best from original game, including great music, powerful and very complicated story and unique blend of several genres. Platinum Games has expanded the character customization and greatly improved combat, which now should please not just RPG fans, but also Action enthusiasts. All this allowed the project to reach an entirely new level of performance. Nier: Automata is, without a doubt, one of the best releases on the PlayStation 4 and the game that should everyone, who cares about unique signature projects, returning us to the Golden Era of the PS2, play.
