    Just beat the game. Only bother rating on MC when it's a 10-worthy game, and this is most definitely that. Extremely sharp, smooth framerate, and the HD rumble really sets it off, on top of being an insanely great game.

    De lo mejor que he jugado en años. La historia es atrapante y no para de tener giros argumentales. Totalmente recomendado! La versión de switch en la oled se ve de lujo

    Best version of this masterpiece. Playable both docked (at 1080p which is higher than its PS4 counterpart) and in Portable mode, features HD Rumble, Motion controls and exclusive DLC items. Highly recommended!

    Never got around to playing this one when it originally came out. Boy, what a mistake! This is BOTW, Mario Odyssey, MGS5 level great! I've played a few Platinum games, Wonderful 101 and Astral Chain, both which I really loved. Digging Nier so so much. It has everything you want in a game. I can't compare this port to the original but it runs pretty damn good to me, big props to Virtuos forNever got around to playing this one when it originally came out. Boy, what a mistake!

I can't compare this port to the original but it runs pretty damn good to me, big props to Virtuos for a fantastic job, from what I understand, it was a Herculean task and I'm glad I now have the opportunity to experience this Masterpiece. I've loved the Switch since the minute I bought it 5+ years ago, it is by far my favorite console of all time. Getting some of these older games ported over that I never had a chance to play is just icing on the cake of probably the greatest all-around console of all time. Looking forward to the future of Nintendo, although the present pretty awesome! Game on, gamers.… Expand

    Changing my score from a 9 to a 10 after sitting down and getting through my 3rd playthrough and seeing the true ending.

    This game was just incredible. I've never experienced anything like this for a finale and am so glad i continued on after I thought I saw most of everything on my first 2 endings. I sorta thought the 3rd ending was a short epilogue and nearly skipped it.

    Its definitely not an epilogue but a continuation to what the story actually is, you're not even half way through if you just got 2 endings.

    The combination of game play mechanics, story, well written characters and customization that is available to play how you like is just amazing.

    That ending though, the lead up, the final battles toward that, i just didn't see any of that coming and never would I have imagined the delivery to be like that.

    I got goosebumps and cried.

    One of those experiences that will definitely stick with me forever.    … Expand

    Um dos meus jogos favoritos de todos os tempos e agora podendo jogar aonde quiser e a qualquer hora. O port segue sendo um dos mais bem feitos pro Híbrido da Nintendo. Quem não jogou o game em outra plataforma vale a pena experimentar no Switch. No modo portátil dispensa comentários

    Almost exactly how it is on every other console...which is pretty insane for a handheld console.

    A beautiful game. In docked mode it beats the ps4 and xbox one since it has 1080p. It looks great and it has a great gameplay. Recomended.

    Un hermoso juego de los mejores de 2017 que hacía falta en la consola híbrida, tiene una etapa estable de 30 fps a 1080p en tv y 720p en dock. De los mejores ports que hay en Nintendo Switch, esta ahí para disfrutarlo.
    La gente va a criticarlo pero los que hablan en mal son los que no disfrutan

    i played this masterpiece on the PS4 before, but when i played this switch port i enjoyed the game even more, they really managed to create the impossible port and they managed to make it a perfect one, so it's a 10 out of 10 for me.

    Wonderful game, and a wonderful Port. They really did it again with Nier on the Switch. Played the PS4 a couple years back and loved what i played but i am loving this more. Great story, great graphics and great gameplay. If you love action/RPG's or love Pantinum Games.....you will love Nier Automata on the Switch.

    This is an art. Story-soundtrack-art style-game play-game menu-dialogue choice, everything is connected with each other. This game's story can't be easily adapted or as-is copied by movie or show. Just like people can't copy masterpiece arts.

    Excelente port a 30 fps super estables, se ve increiblemente bien , tiene todo el contenido de las versiones anteriores y unos pocos añadidos.. Debes pensar que esto es una switch y es una tabletita, muy alejada de lo enorme y pobremente diseñada que puede ser una Play. No hagas caso a los comentarios negativos en rojo son solo piperos que no tienen a nada que jugar. En fin, a disfrutar!

    A very great port of a very amazing game! Nier Automata is one of the best games to release from last gen. Amazing music, great gameplay, superb characters and story! It's one of the better 3rd party switch ports and titles in general. A must buy for people who never experienced the game before!

    Despite the system limitations of the Switch, it doesn't have the graphical and performance issues that I was so concerned that it might have. I already had this for the PC and the PS4 but, I wanted one I could just play in bed or travel with. I would highly recommend this as it by far one of the best games ever.

    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.
