    JUEGASO en todo sentido, desde el inicio muy dinámico y divertido, aunque el primer boss sea a la vista "difícil", lo puedes completar y la banda sonora es espectacular.

Han sido capaces de mezclar de una forma super orgánica distintos géneros dándole sentido a su uso al mismo tiempo que gran personalidad a este Nier. En lo que sí considero que podrían haber mejorado serían los escenarios (muy vacíos, repetitivos y con un diseño carente de detalles) y los gráficos que para la época en la que salió se han quedado un poco atrasados. Al fin y al cabo lo mencionado previamente son nimiedades ya que el resto de características son excelentes sobretodo la historia: triste, MUY TRISTE pero esperanzadora y con toques propios de su director como que todo lo que ves simboliza algo y esta ahí por un razón hasta los mismo jefes tienen su Por qué. En definitiva el combate es brutal propio de Platinum Games. Joya en bruto de los videojuegos que nadie se puede perder.… Expand

The idea of having a lot of endings is amazing for the player to tried different things throughout the game. Yoko Taro story is always dark but absolutely masterpiece. The battle system is a standard hack and slash with different combo animation based on the combination of the weapons equipped. The graphic is good, the soundtracks are definitely the best, it change to 8 bit music when the player do a hacking in the battle. I consider it as one of the best soundtrack that I love. Some of the side quest is not interesting and it doesn't make the player wants to finish them all. But after the first ending, the side quest is actually on different perspective. I think the developer needs to make the side quest more interesting to play.… Expand

    A beautifully made game that keeps you surprised and in awe of its production. The story, music, gameplay, and everything else is blended carefully and beautifully to create an amazing game. The game is addicting and intriguing, it will want you to look into the lore of the other games from Yoko Taro. A perfect 10/10.

    No compro los relatos de que es uno de los mejores juegos de la historia. Sí, muy buen hack and slash con secciones de plataforma y mil experimentos random varios, pero la historia es una burrada sin sentido.

    An amazing and beautiful game with great story, characters, voicing, visuals, combat, soundtrack, etc.
    This has to be one of my all-time favourite games with just how much I enjoyed, and I'd definitely love to see a sequel come out of this. I'm very excited that its prequel, NieR Replicant, is getting a remake, and I'll definitely be playing that when it's released.

    Trilha sonora espetacular, combate intenso, história foda. Nier foi uma surpresa pra mim, faltou só uma legenda BR, espero que no próximo jogo venha.

I enjoyed it from the first minute but it took me a few hours for me to start mastering the “perfect dodge” is when a new depth of gameplay opened up with the combat.

    The story is a slow unraveling mystery that keeps me coming back. The fun gameplay has me addicted and the music is a top-tier epic game soundtrack that’s cinematic. The graphics are perhaps average to slightly above average for PS4, there are some cool effects, some beautiful scenery and some unfortunate pop-in in places.

    I’m addicted to the gameplay/combat and the story... well the story has shook me through the multiple playthroughs. This game is extraordinary and I don’t know what can follow it to play next. This is a story-driven action RPG, a it’s a hack & slash and a dash of shoot em up. To put it simply, it’s a must-buy for the PS4.    … Expand

    Та самая игра, которая по окончанию оставляет тебя опустошённым осмыслять увиденное. А после, бросает в дрожь и пробивает слезу от прослушивания великолепного саундтрека с попутным наплывом воспоминаний.

    Arguably the best JRPG of all time, NieR: Automata delivers in anything it tries to do, exhilarating fun combat, likeable characters, gut-wrenching moments and plot twists, and deep Philosophical themes, all with one of the weirdest, best and most fitting soundtracks in any game. Absolutely a must play no matter what you care about, gameplay, story, characters, world, NieR: Automata has it all.

    Easily in my top 3 best games of all time.
    NieR: Automata has an interesting and deep story that will stay with you for sure even months after you finish playing. The gameplay and combat system are amazing and the fights feel great and satisfying. The OST is astounding and I hear it a lot daily.
    Just do yourself a favor and go immediately to buy this game.

    A nice message I learned from Nier Automata is that not everything in life needs an answer. philosophically it is beautiful it makes you think, to discover yourself, to learn things about yourself ... it makes you feel ... Combined with the wonderful music and experienced from the game itself my feelings are indescribable

    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.
