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

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

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.

Nier: Automata is the videogame twin of those tabletop games that demand players disfigure and destroy its pieces. In Automata's case, PlatinumGames' house-brand of action sustains engagement and empowers director Yoko Taro's disarming unorthodoxy, positioning Automata as cordial agreement between boundary-obliterating determination and boisterous violence. As a videogame designed to experience the paradox of poignant optimism, Automata isn't the most efficient mechanism, but it's easily the most effective.

This game takes the medium and spins it on its head in a way only video games can do, and it is a marvel to experience.

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.

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 is a special, valuable and admirable title that gained new credibility for the NieR series in the video game industry and made it a big and successful name. It is a great mixture of many genres that absolutely worth your time and money.

lot of games, if not all of them all, have that something you would have changed or done differently in some situations. Nier Automata is the first game in memory where I walked away without wanting to make a single change to the experience.

All of the positive things in Nier: Automata outweigh the negative. Its story is absurd, yet interesting, its characters feel human despite their mechanical makeup, and it’s all layered with unique gameplay elements that keep it feeling fresh and fun. Automata makes a very strong first impression, and it’s able to carry that weight through its myriad of story arcs and endings.

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.

It's testament to Taro's talent for storytelling that the game inspires replay as much through its narrative hooks as its baser promise of trophies and a 100% competition record.

NieR Automata is a special game, a miracle even that a Yoko Taro game has amazing gameplay that compliments the story. An absolutely amazing story that I still think about after beating and a great amount of replay value. Even though it’s ideal that you do some homework before going into NieR Automata for the best possible experience story wise you can still play it and have a good time no problem. The success of this game could mean more Yoko Taro directed games and even more collaborations with Platinum. Here’s hoping for more in the future.

Nier: Automata is a kickin' rad action game that's also a twin-stick shoot-’em-up and a 2.5D platformer and role-playing game, and anything else it might need to be at any given moment.

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 game I will absolutely never forget playing. It's wholly its own unique product, ripe with those brilliant, eccentric moments I've come to expect from Yoko Taro - the father of Drakengard - and Platinum Games, the storied developers behind Bayonetta, MadWorld, and a host of other fantastic action games. In the end, I'm glad to have spent so much time with a game that's so clearly the product of genuine passion, even if it didn't know when to roll the final credits.

Ultimately, NieR: Automata is a game that will stay with you long after you’ve seen the credits roll for the second, third or even fourth time; the memories of its characters and music lingering in your head, reminding you of what games can be like if they dare to be different.
