    Un juego grandioso con una gran historia y con una de las mejores bandas sonoras. Buena jugabilidad, el mundo se siente un poco desolado comparado con otros rpg pero se debe a que la historia está situada en un mundo desolado. en resumen es de esos juegos que al terminarlo se quedan grabados en la memoria.

    Not sure if the high marks help it for people that jump on board late because it's marks are based on the fact that people like that it tried to do something differently, rather than having achieved great features with all of the things they tried.

    Not sure if the high marks help it for people that jump on board late because it's marks are based on the fact that people like that it tried to do something differently, rather than having achieved great features with all of the things they tried. So, if you go in with high expectations and find features that are a little dumb, clumsy it might create a disconnect.

    However, I really liked it, overall. I like the ideas much more than what they accomplished with them. To me, this game vindicates those childhood platformers that made no sense (can't explain how without spoilers). Basically, those older games had features that were logically inconsistent with how physics work in our world. This game has a way of making them believable in 3d and it does that through game mechanics, not lore or cinematography... this part is very important to me. We play video games, we shouldn't be "spectators" in our own playthroughs, so it's important to me that games tell a story or make a point through mechanics (remember Antichamber) or have them work well in conjunction with the art style, music and story telling. Nier Automata is important to me because it makes platformers' logic work seamlessly, you start playing and those things make sense in 3d before you realize it. The art, the music is also appropriate with the action on screen. This helped with the imersion factor.

    The combat mechanics aren't that difficult, it's approachable - and that's a good thing. It's not that easy though.

    Because it tried so much being authentic, it also has some features that are simply annoying for no good reason. If this approach was used more often, I'd probabily rate this game as a 7 or an 8 because of these issues, but because this game's ideas are quite unique, I can ignore the fact that they tried stuff that doesn't make sense.

There were many times where the game is talking to your character but feels like it is talking to you which was an min-bending experience.

    Other than that, the combat is satisfying and easy to learn. The visuals are stunning. Some side-quests really added to the depth of the game. Overall, this was a unique game that I recommend anyone play. However, I'd be lying if I said the game was perfect. Many side-quests are fetch-quests and the explanation of some story elements are very minimal. I even watched videos explaining the story of the previous games and I still feel dizzy trying to make sense of it all.

    While I very much enjoyed the topic of existentialism in all moments of the game (also a few plot-twists that added so much depth), the story could've been less messy in tackling the subject.

    Kombat is engaging. Story is interesting and keeps you hooked throughout, and the art direction is amazing. I would definitely recommend this game. Keep in mind that the pc port is poorly optimized

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hikaye anlatıcılığında bambaşka bir iş çıkarmışlar. Güzel kadınlarla robot keseriz diye başladığım oyunda duygudan duyguya, düşünceden düşünceye zıpladım. Hikayesi ve bunu sunuş şekli olarak oynadığım en iyi oyun olabilir. İlk kez JRPG türünü deneyimledim. Hack-and-slash türünü de çok tercih etmesem de bu oyunun dünyasına uymuş. Açık dünyasında dolaşmak keyifli değil, yan görevler de öyle. Combat mekaniği eğlenceli, boss çeşitliliği ve zorluğu (normalde oynadım) yerinde. Görsellik iyi değil ama müzikleri muazzam. Ama saydığım teknik şeyler oyunda tamamen bir araç. Heriflerin harika bir hikayesi varmış bunu oyun formatında anlatalım demişler. İyi ki de öyle yapmışlar. (Eski oyunlarını oynamadım) Robotların yavaş yavaş bilinç kazanması ancak insanları taklit ten öteye gidememeleri, androidlerin yaşadıkları duygusal durumlar, karakterlerin dönüşümü, arkada dönen entrikalar, meta hikayenin görkemi ve bunların sunum şekli şahane. Sci fi meraklası olmama rağmen şaşırttı. Spoiler

    It is truly an exceptional experience.

    This game expertly illustrates it's philosophical themes through the interesting characters, enigmatic world and flawless soundtrack. Playing through the multiple endings never feels too tiresome and in a sense provides a segmented pacing for the whole narrative. Throughout my time with the game, I have begun to see the nature of Yoko Taro's work and how he wants to tell his stories. It is fair to say that not everything will be clear to you and yet it will. The final moment of this game is truly an exceptional experience in this medium and one pulled off perfectly. It left me with a heavy heart and yet I can't help but smile. Does this mean that I did not have any reservations towards this game? No. I certainly did. But, a great game such as this can go beyond that for what it ultimately strives for.

    I've never had a desire to write a review before, but my time with this game induced something that gave me a the urge to do so. If I can extend my hand as a recommendation for this game in hopes that at least one person gives it a chance, then that's all I can wish for. I just wished I played this much earlier. I won't forget about this game.

    I was very happy that it was done without spoilers, but on the other hand, I am also very angry that such a masterpiece is not as famous as I thought.

    I think the users who rated it with a high score would be the same as me.
    This game has the disadvantage that it is easy to operate using a gamepad or mod, but it is not enough to lower the score for this game.

I'm going to start pointing out some bad things. The length of the game in case you just wanna do the first run is ridiculous, even while completing side quest, which are really interesting, the joy just lasts 2/3 days till you get to the end. Also, some of the mechanics may become boring after some time, which I'm not going to mention due to spoilers, but everyone who has played it will agree with me.One of the mayor points why I don't give more score to this game is due to having to replay the 1st run again, but with worse mechanics in order to see the true ending in the 3rd run. On the other hand, the universe created is splendid, the characters are amazing and you really feel them. The art at the beginning may seem a bit dry, but in the end you realise everything fits perfectly and a HUGE positive point is the music, which is just stunning. In conclusion, it is a game you should definitely try, but from my point of view, not as perfect as I heard, as I feel It could have been a bit more. Expand

    But the bad part is the combat, it isn't bad but it isn't good. It is just ok. It is a hack and slash with a simple dodge bottom. I don't like the combat system so simple and I think the game had much to improve in this aspect. God of War is an example of an awesome hack and slash combat system.

    NieR: Automata is a one-of-a-kind experience that doesn't necessariiy have a goal to be a "good game". It tries to change you, surprise you and most of the times it definitely succeeds at it. It's such a complex game that it's hard for me to describe it accurately. I doubt I will ever play a game that would be as special to me as NieR: Automata. It's not a game, it's something else.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ogranie tego tytułu było jedną z lepszych decyzji, jakie podjąłem. To jest ta gra akcji, którą potrzebowałem. Genialny jRPG z obłędną fabułą, w której można się zatopić przechodząc przez kolejne rozdziały. Efektywna mechanika walki, przypominająca pewnymi elementami Bayonette, co nie powinno dziwić, bo w końcu gra wyszła z rąk tych samych producentów. Stylistyka postaci, ich charakter oraz to, jakie miały odmienne relacje z otaczającym ich światem odegrały tutaj dużą rolę. Mapa nie za duża, nie za mała, konkretna i treściwa, z interesującym otoczeniem. Motyw z postapokaliptycznym miastem zamieszkałym przez maszyny nabrały ciężkiego i intrygującego klimatu, a towarzysząca w tym muzyka jeszcze bardziej to podsycała. W rozgrywce bardzo podobała mi się różnorodność mechaniki, od zwykłej gry akcji TPP przez widok 2.5D wplatający się okazjonalnie podczas wykonywanych misji aż po tryb mini gier w postaci planszy, w której strzałką strzelamy w otaczające nas wrogie wieżyczki, aby móc coś np. zhakować. To wszystko sprawiało, że gracz co chwilę robił coś innego, nie nudząc się jednym motywem gameplay'u. Przeciwnicy ciekawie stworzeni i zbytnio niewymagający, lecz to nie przeszkadzało w pozytywnych wrażeniach z walki. Historia kreatywnie zaprojektowana, jeśli mowa o zakończeniach. Czegoś takiego w grach jeszcze nie widziałem. Ta produkcja pod wieloma względami wywołała u mnie ogromnie pozytywne emocje i jest to zdecydowanie jeden z lepszych japońskich RPG'ów jakie widziałem. Polecam każdemu, kto interesuje się tego typu gatunkiem. Expand

    매력적인 캐릭터 디자인. 재미있는 전투
    맵 디자인과 독특한 적들

    하지만 난해한 스토리와 다회차를 강요하면서 플레이가 반복되는 점은 흠임.

    Es perfecto en todos los sentidos, posee un gran mensaje filosófico en su historia y es de esos videojuegos que jamás olvidas.

    Sometimes frustrating but always compelling, Nier: Automata is a wondrous and strange experience that could only ever be a game. [Issue#261, p.60]

    This unusual action game set in an offbeat world created by Taro Yoko is a treasure trove of pleasant surprises. It's not often that we meet such a stylish, offbeat, memorable game.

    There is no doubt that Nier Automata is a great game, but the PC version does not do it justice. A new case of a shameless port for PC.
