Nier: Automata Reviews
Nier: Automata is something more than your typical hack ‘n’ slash game. Everything is either eccentric or mind-blowing; and above them all stands its philosophic story which contains a lot of references and metaphors. Nier: Automata has raised the Nier franchise to a whole new level, thanks to Platinum Games and Yoko Taro.

Nier: Automata offering a great story driven content and lots of surprises including diversity in gameplay all in one package, you've got lots of Bosses with scaled difficulty across all levels with a masterpiece music combined with every scene serves this title very well, but the side missions aren't on bar with main story missions, also graphics isn't up to 2017's game design standards

Nier: Automata is an absolute masterclass in game design. It surpasses expectations time and time again resulting in an experience not to be missed by fans of action titles.
One of the best PlatinumGames' releases. Engaging and unforgettable action-RPG which flawlessly blends genres and constantly surprises. It's difficult not to be amazed — even after five main endings you'll probably want to come back to this strange, crazy and unique world.

NieR: Automata is a special game and one that will stick with you long after the credits roll.
After NieR's slight success, many lost their hope about the second installment of this series. Even those who believed in Automata's success, didn't expect much, but after being officially released, Automata proved itself to many, that not only it is quite the masterpiece that everyone was waiting for, but also a rare experiece with deep and emotional meaningin it. A fresh and stylish gameplay along with dynamic and beautiful graphics and a massive deep, unique storytale that will deliver you an enjoyable and unforgettable journey through a metalic dystopian world

It’s a game that strives to be a lot of things and delivers on most, while falling flat on a handful of others. It’s a super stylish action RPG with one of the most satisfying combat systems I’ve played on the PS4, and it largely accomplishes what it sets out to be. The shortcomings don’t ruin the game, but they do a consistent job of reminding you that they’re there, taking away from the overall experience at times. Ultimately, if you’re looking for flashy, fast paced fights and epic robot action in a beautifully designed world and atmosphere, NieR: Automata is a must play.
A strong candidate for game of the year award, Nier: Automata offers a mature story, deep gameplay, marvelous soundtrack, engaging world and atmosphere, and a very unique experience in general. Do not miss it.

There's no other JRPG like Nier: Automata out there. It blends all sorts of genres, although not flawlessly; it looks cool and has an awesome atmosphere, despite it being a tad rough around the edges; and its plot is simply an amazing piece of sad, thinking man's sci-fi storytelling, even though it disappoints quite a lot every now and then. Yoko Taro's newest creation isn't perfect… but this humble gamer is happy that it exists.
In spite of all the odds against Yoko Taro's career, he has finally created a true masterpiece that delivers on all fronts that includes gameplay. Environmental detail aesthetics lacking aside, Nier: Automata is an unbelievable game and one that just might make even the most stone cold-hearted gamers well up into a weepy emotional mess. This is a landmark in storytelling in games that is one that embraces the fact it is a video game and does not try to imitate film in the way most story driven games do. Nier: Automata is bold and weird without being pretentious, but most importantly it knows how to be a fun video game thanks to masterclass action game design.
NieR: Automata's engaging narrative, blending of gameplay genres and fantastic soundtrack are what make it special. Though somewhat hampered by simple yet slick combat, and level design that fails to fully realize its sci-fi dystopia setting, it is still a game that is absolutely worth your time.
There are already too many titles vying for gamers' attention, and it's only March, but I'd make damn sure NieR: Automata isn't one of the games you miss this year.
Sometimes, you get the ultimate pairing of both chocolate and peanut butter, and in the case of Nier: Automata, that's Yoko Taro and Platinum. Automata is an amazing game even by the high standards of this year. Its flaws don't detract much from the experience, and the combat is fast, stylish and fun. The story is engaging, and the music is phenomenal. Some poor graphics performance and a slight repetitiveness to the combat drag things down. If you're a fan of Taro's games, Automata is by far his best on a gameplay level. If you're not already a fan, Automata is a bizarrely distinct game that's absolutely worth experiencing.
NieR: Automata offers top notch action with an emotionally engaging story. It is the perfect blend of the crazy direction of Yoko Taro with the gameplay specialty of Platinum Games, resulting in one of the best games to be released this year.
NieR: Automata is a great game that captures you from the very first moment. The well-rounded combat mechanics, the mystery in its story and an addictive customization system won't let you release the controller, despite some minor imperfections that don't affect the experience in any meaningful way.

Put simply, NieR: Automata is the greatest game ever made. It's not just that it is the deepest and most narratively potent game ever developed - and it is a truly deep narrative experience - but more than that, Yoko Taro has finally found perhaps the developer on the planet capable of doing his visionary work justice.
A role playing game rich in unique characters and a multilayered story waiting to be unraveled, with one of the fastest and slickest fighting system in a game of its kind, against a diverse cast of bosses. All of this in addition to this year's best and most unique soundtrack, and this uniqueness extends to the gameplay and quest designs, all with the patented Yoko Taro touch. Its only let down by an unbalanced difficulty that robs many boss fights of their grandeur, and the sparseness of its world.

Automata may not be for everyone, but if you're ready to dive deep in it, you might just find something really worth the effort after all.

Whenever I try to jump to some higher place, since 9S is blocking the way I wouldn’t be able to nail it the first time around or when I tend to circle back from where I came from, 2B’s character doesn’t just slip through 9S’ which ends in me dragging 9S’ sorry butt backwards all the way back to where I started. Talk about awkward movement. But despite these areas where the game might need some improvement on, this game is quite a huge success. It caught my attention from start to finish and it made me yearn for more when it ended. As what a famous quote said, “All good things come to those who wait.”
