    So we all already known that Nier:Automata was the nice game and has some performance issues, but Yorha edition just do nothing for original Nier, it doesn't fix bugs or improve performance, not give us new game-play features, just a few avatars ( who care about them? ) and pod skins ( the same as avatars ). So i really don't understand why you give to this game 8-9 score.

    OMG LMAO
    It's such a stupid way to get money from poor players. Completely agree with VioleGreis. The most helpful review ever!

    I honestly cannot understand the respect that this game gets.

    Very bland combat (and that is all that you do). The story is typical JRPG nonsense.
    Voice acting is very poor. Attack, dodge, rinse and repeat.

    I tried for about 4 hours and gave up and got rid.
    From what I had read, I expected something life-affirming but it was dreadful.

    The game was not so great now, it was totally overhyped. The gameplay is very fast, and the game does not manage to develop personal proximity to the characters.
    The soundtrack is outstanding.

    The lack of auto save is unforgivable for a game like that. I played 1h in the prologue, the game crashed, and I had to restart from scratch... bye bye Nier Automata

    Not a decent action/ARPG game.

    Demo has about 75% action content of the entire game.

    The music was literally the only reason I finished the game, as the story in route C (which was supposed to be "godlike") turned out to be...meh. The philosophy was supposed to be "out of this world", in truth the philosophical motives discussed during the game were high-school level, aside from the fact that they were investigated into at a very superficial level.

The philosophy was supposed to be "out of this world", in truth the philosophical motives discussed during the game were high-school level, aside from the fact that they were investigated into at a very superficial level. Is this game mostly played by kids who are only now being introduced to the thoughts and works of Nietzsche and the like? Because it sure as hell looks like it. The game may give you a feeling of emptiness and depression after beating it, but that’s about it. I was hoping for a “transcendental journey” and “deep reflection on the condition of modern humanity”, but I didn’t get to experience anything which would even remotely resemble the ubiquitous praise and high esteem perpetuated by a number of players. Pushing yourself to finish the game if you don’t feel like playing it is a mistake. Believing players that you should force yourself to finish route B, which has some major faults in game design, only to proceed with the story, is a mistake. Don’t get me started on combat mechanics, graphics, etc., as the game falls short in this department as well. In my particular case, it’s over 20 hours down the drain.… Expand

    What a let down. Kept expecting the game to get better after hearing so many people say how great it is.

    Nier: Automata is a really compelling piece of science fiction. It builds on the thematic foundation of sentient robots and takes into a bold and heart-wrenching direction. The emotionally rich saga is further bolstered by an intensely memorable soundtrack that add so much flavor and extra dimension to the multiform narrative.

    NieR Automata: Game of the YoRHa Edition was my first foray into the NieR series and I personally loved it. I know some people soured on having to basically replay the same game again just to get to the third run that opened up more of the story, but the first two routes don’t take incredibly long to play through if you don’t do any side missions. Then again doing the side missions just made the game more fun for me and I kept forgetting that I needed to finish the main story to write this review. If you’re into hack-and-slash RPGs and don’t mind having to play through the game three times to experience the full story, give this game a shot.
