    I made an account just to review this game. This is the best single player game I've ever experienced. It has the prequel stories of NieR:Gestalt and Replicant tied into it in ways that make sense, great art, amazing music, all the elements of an action game that made Devil May Cry and Bayonetta great, and some RPG elements in the form of leveling up and leveling your weapons.

    Masterpiece to say the least. I can't find any real complaints I have about the game so I will just mention the best parts.

    OST: Absolutely god sent. Can either send you into war or have you tearing up. They even have their own language for some of the songs. Truly a masterpiece.

    These are my favorite parts about the game. Everything else is still absolutely great. I enjoyed the game from start to finish. This game is the hidden gem of the ps4, a must play for everyone who loves these twisted mind stories.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is 100% "okay" and that's really the best thing I can say.

    After playing for 30 hours, doing all the quests i cared to do (about 83%), doing the main 5 endings (ABCDE) and enjoying and hating aspects of it, i just thought that "this game was ok". Really, it was just okay, especially when there are so many flaws - both gameplay and story-wise - that just don't really make it that great.

    For instance the combat is fun! Repetitive but fun, really REALLY repetitive but very fun, and I always loved using 2B for the fighting, which was smooth and easy to use but too bad the controls are utter crap and the lock on is awful.

    You also get to control 9S in the second playthrough, who is a scanner (aka hacker) and can kill most enemies with ease making the combat easier against tough enemies. Too bad that in exchange for that 9S fights like ASS, having the worst and most unreliable combat ever that I had to rely on the pod's gun to do damage. And the hacking is also repetitive too - what a surprise!

    The story is well done too: I had legitimate times where it surprised me and it had some very good scenes, especially the last endings.
    I won't lie when the game tried its best it did impress me with some deep scenes and sad ones too but at the same time it's ruined by a LOT of scenes that try SO HARD to make you feel sad it was hilarious.
    I wish I was kidding but that's actually how the game tries to make you feel sad, with forced scenes of death and dialogues ending with ellipses all the time.
    The only thing missing was a sign saying "Feel something", which I did: an urge to laugh.

    Some characters are well done too - I particularly loved Pascal and 9S (the start) - and I was legitimately curious to see how the game would end, but unfortunately most of the rest are either boring (2B) not well developed (Devola/Popola, Anemone, A2)) or just done there for that brief moment of sadness I was talking about (the random chats with your operator, quest related characters, etc).

    And the story itself...it's really not unique: it's basically a story of how androids and machine try to emulate humans and how they learn the meaning of existing. I don't dislike that though because it's HOW you tell a story that matters, but here's my problem with it:

    You can switch anyone with the binomial Android/Machine with anything and not much would change - besides the obvious stuff - and honestly there's not even much of that: the androids act like humans, the machines act like humans, everyone acts like humans...so why was it necessary to turn them into machines? It would've been more interesting if they were SLOWLY turning into humans, discovering feelings, having sadness, ANYTHING but they already know that stuff! They even say "Feelings are prohibited" because they KNOW feelings are a pain to deal with - which is true...WHICH IS WHY IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY ROBOTS WOULD HAVE FEELINGS, IT ONLY HINDERS THEIR ACTIVITY, AND IT EVEN SHOWS LATER IN A QUEST WITH PASCAL, YOU DUMB MORONS!
    There is a reason why the goddamn terminator had no feelings: if he did he would be freaking out whenever he terminated someone!
    In other words, this plot makes no sense and whereas they could've made some badass robots that start to learn what it means to have feelings, to slowly learn what it actually means to be human, including its weaknesses, but by giving them feelings right away they don't become more relatable: they just become annoying ****
    I've met real women with bigger balls than 2B and 9S! I'm not exaggerating!

    So...do I recommend it? Yeah sure: it's an okay game with good combat, a pretty decent story (which is more than can I say about Square Enix nowadays) and it has a good amount of pros and cons that beat each other out, making the experience equally balanced.

    I guess what makes the game better is the music which is good (not a fan myself) and the voice acting is QUITE amazing, probably one of the best of latest times and helps following the plot better even during its hiccups.

    But best game ever? not even close, at least for me, a spot taken for Berseria who not only made me sad for actual good reasons, it also had bits and pieces of existence too that were better explained and not too pretentious either.

    Overall I can recommend, get it on a discount if you're curious and enjoy/hate it.
    I did my part and I also got my saves deleted for others' sake because even if I didn't enjoy it, others might. That's the great thing about opinions.

    I simply don't understand what's so special about it and frankly I still prefer the original Nier way more than this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished this game, watching E ending. Since playing this game with too much expectation, I feel a little bit awkward when I realized this is the end. (I thought the factors people praise on this game just didn't show up yet even just before the ending.)

    First of all, the scale is too small to call it the war of species. Of course it's ok if it's just for efficiency of directing, but it's too much small reminding of children's role play, which I can't be immersed.

    It pursued open world game but I think totally failed. Every sub-quest wasn't interesting or intriguing because all they are too simple errands (at war?) and following rewards are not attractive at all.

    What I really don't get it is why people admire this common Japanese subculture story that somewhere I've already seen. And the way of disclosing truths is not that dramatic. (It feels like when I saw how Assassin was originated at Assassin Creed Origin. Just... flat) And Why does 9S fall in love with 2B in the first place? Was there something between them that I don't understand? Or just for her nice butt like everyone praising this game?

    I admit music is awesome, but graphic is ... sometimes it doesn't seem released in 2017. Quite many textures have very low definition with blur effect. But overall, the colors or atmosphere is quite emotional.    … Expand

I can't believe this day would ever come but yes, it's taken the number one spot in my heart, finally toppling The Witcher series, FF7, Bloodborne, Mass Effect, Bioshock.

It's my personal game of my life so far. It's perfect. I can't believe this day would ever come but yes, it's taken the number one spot in my heart, finally toppling The Witcher series, FF7, Bloodborne, Mass Effect, Bioshock. Yoko Taro is a name I will forever remember, for delivering a true masterpiece, my game of the generation, of any generation thus far that I've experienced. Nier transcends gaming, elevating it to an undescribable experience.

    I'm trying to craft a review in the traditional sense to be objective and rational, to state the pros and cons like I normally do, but it's beyond that. I'm listening to Keiichi Okabe's amazing music (Weight of the World) while typing this and I cannot tell you, dear reader, the number of times his music brings me goosebumps, tugging at my heartstrings, full of melancholy, hope and so hauntingly beautiful.

    I wish everyone in the world could play this. This has to be experienced, not watched. It engaged multiple sensory experiences in me, I can't even begin to explain it. I didn't even realize I played 50hrs of it at the end. I just deleted it to make space for Red Dead Redemption 2 but immediately regretted it. Never has a game left a gaping hole in my heart after finishing it. I'm playing Prey as my next game in my playlist but I cannot bear to go on. My mind, my heart, is still in Nier's desolate and heartbreaking world. I need time to recover.

    I am regretting so much not buying this Day One, and not getting the Collector's Edition. I'll be buying anything with Nier Automata on it; books, art, vinyl, music, everything. The newly released book by Yoko Taro in English will be in my mail today and man I cannot wait to experience Nier's story again.

    I implore you, play Nier Automata. Experience it for yourself. You'll be in tears at the end, the true end.

    My second complaint is the story which is supposed to be great but i didn't get it at all. The "first" ending feels very rushed and i was shocked by how little was done with the main characters and villains. I then dove into the new game plus content where a lot of stuff is fleshed out more but even after getting the ultimate ending i still don't feel like i understood the story. Sure, lots of stuff happened but the why is missing for me, as if i skipped through half of the game. That's why I enjoyed the side quests much more especially when they were little self-contained stories. The combat is really weird but mostly good. There is depth to the role-playing elements and the music is ok.

    There was no auto-save which is annoying at the start, while your trying to learn controls, but later on there is so many opportunities to quick save, it wasn't too bothersome.

    The open world was interesting but i think the questing aspect would get really boring after a while, i was mainly focusing on the main story line which kept the pace of the game going with awesome cinematic scenes and boss fights to keep things interested and keep me entertained.

    The story was compelling enough to keep me playing until the end, overall this game is for people who like games like DMC slasher type games and games with an anime style and interesting story and big boss battles.    … Expand

    The game can be a grind but believe me when I say that no video game EVER has used the medium of video games better than Nier: Automata. The story is sometimes boring though when it is good, its insanely introspective and philosophical. The last choice in the game is one of the best choices ever presented in gaming history

One thing I really disliked was the death. if you use all your options against an enemy and you die, once you're back you'll have 0 potions. How can you survive the fight this way?

    I felt difficult in understanding the gameplay, it's not very well explained, as the developer really wanted to show everything as an android program. The hack and slash action is beautiful, but I found it limited. I've played several hack and slash games, and this is not my favorite. DmC Reboot for PS4 is a better option if you're looking for action, and NieR Automata is a smoother option.

    I only played the Route A and had other 3 endings (short ones). I really wanted to play the Route C but I couldn't find enough material to teach me how to do it, and didn't feel like going over the game again (didn't feel it was worth it).    … Expand

    Un juegazo increíble, con una historia maravillosa y llena de momentos inolvidables.

    Cuando hace unos pocos meses me decidí embarcar en esta obra de arte llamada NieR: Automata, lo hacia con la expectativa de encontrarme un videojuego de ROL Japonés normal y corriente, eso si, con un estilo de combate en la jugabilidad muy llamativo que me encanto al verlo en diferentes gameplays.

    Todo así comienza en una experiencia de juego tremenda, que durante las primeras 3 o 4 horas estaremos peleándonos con hacernos a los controles un tanto particulares, que dependiendo del escenario, la posición de la cámara y los enemigos deberemos ir variando. En toda esta encrucijada de situaciones, el videojuego no deja de sorprender en ningún momento, con escenarios que pasan de la expiración de mundo abierto, a secciones 2D de scroll lateral, o incluso también a secciones Shoot'em up al mas estilo de los Bullet Hell como Ikaruga u otros arcades de los 90.

    El combate principal esta basado en un estilo Hack and Slash, como bien saben hacer los de Platimun Games con anteriores títulos como Bayoneta o Metal Gear Rising, aun que este que han realizado para NieR: Automata en particular a mi gusto, se me hace el mas satisfactorio y resultón por las animaciones de combate de los diferentes personajes, que están tan sumamente bien detalladas, que cuando realizas ciertos combos a enemigos simplemente te deja asombrado las locuras increíbles capaces que se pueden ejecutar.

    En cuanto a la historia y personajes no debo, ni quiero contar mucho al respecto, pero lo que si quiero comentar es que jamás pensé que este juego al final me fuera a encandilar y maravillar por este apartado. Creo que es mejor que cada uno sin ninguna clase de spoiler lo descubra por si mismo. Eso si, debo decir que las primeras 10 horas de juego estaremos algo desubicados en cuanto a argumento, que poco a poco se ira desengranando, dando paso a cambios que para nada esperaremos y nos dejaran impresionados. Es un juego al que, por favor, hay que dedicar un mínimo de horas para que vaya enganchando, si llevas 5 o 6 horas jugando a Nier: Automata y ves que es algo que no va contigo, o que simplemente te esta aburriendo. Por favor, continua, y continúalo hasta el final verdadero, no te quedes a medias por nada del mundo. Te aseguro que merece mucho pero que mucho la pena todo lo que vas a vivir y sentir en cuanto a argumento y evolución de la trama. No tengas ansias de terminar el juego, simplemente ve dejándote llevar, y disfruta.

    La banda sonora es sencillamente hermosa, esta al nivel de las mejores bandas sonoras de la historia. Con un toque único, como es el de esta saga en muchos aspectos, canciones que carecen de sentido ya que las letras de estas composiciones están escritas en diferentes idiomas imaginándolos de cara al futuro como podrían sonar, pero no por eso son peores, de hecho es todo lo contrario, la logran dotar de una personalidad única, y con la que consiguen transmitir mucho, llegando a hacerte sentir, grandeza, melancolía, tristeza... y todo ello, con una vocalización llena de cariño y belleza en cada una de sus composiciones, con lo que son capaces de introducirte totalmente en el videojuego.

    Para mi NieR: Automata es sinónimo de, descubrimiento, humanidad, y por supuesto también de reflexión. Creo que nadie que finalice Nier: Automata puede quedar indiferente ante el. No voy a decir que me haya cambiado la vida, pero si que me ha dado motivación a pensar en ciertas cosas de manera diferente.

    Siempre van a faltar palabras para poder definir a un videojuego de estas características, pero en definitiva, es uno de los mejores juegos de esta generación. Y que para todo aquel que lo finalice, dejara un recuerdo y un pensar, que será inolvidable. Una obra de arte.    … Expand

    Nier:Autómata es para mi uno de los mejores videojuegos de la historia. Tiene fallos, como una jugabilidad demasiado fácil y sencilla, poca variedad de enemigos, unas malas misiones secundarias...Pero con todos sus fallos, tiene una de las mejores historias que se han creado en el mundo de los videojuegos.

Tiene fallos, como una jugabilidad demasiado fácil y sencilla, poca variedad de enemigos, unas malas misiones secundarias...Pero con todos sus fallos, tiene una de las mejores historias que se han creado en el mundo de los videojuegos.
    En un futuro lejano, una raza de alienígenas dejó un ejército de máquinas en el planeta Tierra, obligando a la humanidad a retirarse a unas instalaciones en la luna. Los humanos crearon a los YORHA, un ejército de androides con la función de acabar con las máquinas y recuperar la Tierra.
    El juego nos pone en la piel de 3 personajes diferentes a lo largo de la aventura:
    2B, un androide femenino diseñado para el combate.
    9S, un androide masculino diseñado para reconocimiento con la habilidad de piratear a las máquinas.
    2A, una androide femenina también diseñada para el combate.
    Este juego se divide en rutas. Hay un final para cada letra del abecedario, pero los canon son el final A,B,C,D y E. Tendrás que completar el juego 3 veces para desbloquear los 3 finales principales, y después deberás hacer cosas específicas para el D y el E.
    No contaré nada más sobre la historia del juego, ya que perdería toda la gracia. Es un videojuego al que DEBES jugar si o si, una obra maestra diferente.
    Jugablemente, siendo un título de Platinum Games no decepciona. La jugabilidad es frenética, propia de un Hack and Slash y sus controles son intuitivos, con la presencia de algunos minijuegos de pirateo con el personaje 9S.
    La banda sonora del juego es magistral. Hay un tema para cada ocasión y todos son una delicia para los oídos.
    Gráficamente, el juego es regular tirando a malo. Su gama de colores es muy corta, los diseños de los secundarios dan pena, hay muchos dientes de sierra...
    Pero, ¿Os habéis dado cuenta de una cosa? Ya he dicho varios fallos del juego y no dudo de la nota que le he puesto. Simplemente, la historia hace que te olvides de cualquier fallo del juego.
    Os animo a que disfrutéis de esta obra de Yoko Taro.
    Gloria a la humanidad.    … Expand

    NieR Automata: Beyond Gods Edition was a total shock to me with how much I enjoyed it. It takes a very solid experience for me to enjoy an RPG lately and NieR grabbed me quite well from the beginning and kept me entertained throughout. It's the type of game where I want to do everything that I possibly can just to make the experience longer - a type of game I rarely find nowadays. I went into NieR Autamata with no expectations other than the good gameplay that I usually find from Platinum Games, I went away floored with a near perfect action game.

    NieR: Automata is not for everybody. In fact, the game looks to be aimed at the most refined fans of the medium by not caring about the regular gaming conventions, in the same way the works of David Lynch are perfect for the hardcore moviegoers.
