    Don't waste yours hours with this trash. I am stuck in the B route because of a bug that does not allow me to progress, and I have spent already 20+ hours.

    I see a lot of people love the Nier games, but they're just not my jam, too much nihilism and mindless button mashing

    this game is not good, the gameplay is very easy and the battles is so boring.

    Even the weakest version of Nier: Automata is an unforgettable, mindblowing experience you absolutely shouldn’t miss. Play it on one of the other platforms, if you can, as the 30 FPS lock makes the extremely dynamic action feel a bit sluggish, but if you play exclusively on Switch, you’re getting a well-made port of one of the best and unique games the last console generation had to offer.

    NieR: Automata holds a special place in my heart. It introduced me to so many new experiences while simultaneously tapping into my nostalgia for how games made me feel. It’s one of the few games where I sat on the floor, controller in hand, staring up at the TV as if I were playing Final Fantasy VII for the first time again. NieR: Automata is the kind of game with a strange magical power that’ll warp you back to your favorite childhood game, then imprint itself upon your memory so that whenever you see a metal trash can, you’ll swear you heard it say, “this cannot continue.”

    It's a good port for a fantastic game - people who have played it might not be tempted to double dip in the Switch version, but first-timers with only the Nintendo Switch at their disposal will find this port highly enjoyable.
