    I won’t mind admitting that I was very jealous when NieR Automata released on the PS4 because it is a game that is right up my alley, and I was very tempted to buy a PS4 just for that game.

There was a part of me though that hoped it would eventually release on the Xbox One and as you can imagine when I first learnt that it was making its way to the Xbox One I was very excited to say the least, and I’m pleased to say that it was well worth the wait. Everything about this game oozes class and charm and to say I enjoyed my time with the game would be a massive understatement. I heard many good things about the game’s story and now I can see why because it’s breathtakingly brilliant from start to finish and the gameplay that accompanies the fantastic story is also flawless. The reason the gameplay is so flawless is because every little different mechanic and aspect adds a unique side to the game. You’ll be pleased to know then that the combat plays a big part in making the gameplay so addictive. Everything runs so smooth when you’re in combat and that means defeating the enemies you face always remains satisfying throughout your time with the game. This is a very good thing because in terms of content the game has a quite a lot for you to be getting on with. The content also doesn’t get boring either because there is variety dotted throughout the game’s fantastic world. In fact the content is that good that my only gripe with the game is that the fetch quests can be a little tedious from time to time, but this is only a small gripe and you can easily look past this. If you’re a fan of big and magnificent boss battles then you will no doubt be pleased with what NieR Automata has to offer. Each boss in the game actually felt like they mattered and the clever design of them meant that fighting them was not only rewarding but it was also very exciting as well. I have to also give a special mention to the presentation side of the game as well because it does enhance the gameplay quite a lot. I know everybody isn’t a fan of NieR’s style when it comes to the visual department, but for me I think it’s perfect and when both the visuals and sound design combine together you end up having even more of an immersive experience. At the end of the day even though NieR Automata came out last year on the PS4 I still think it deserves a special mention in regards to game of the year this year because quite frankly it’s fantastic. It’s not very often when a game gets everything right but it does here and in the end I can’t recommend this game to you enough.… Expand

Nier: Automata is the single player hack and slash RPG every xbox gamer wanted to come to our platform, and it did.

    In a time where aliens invade earth with machine lieforms, the human race hangs by a thread on orbiting "bunkers". There are so many things that this games does perfectly that tons of other games attempted. Lets start with the constant POV changes. One minute you're in the standard 3rd person, next you're playing as a 2D sidescroller, usually finished with a top down sequence. The game blends the POV so well in a way that comes off as refreshing in the gaming world.

    The combat is fluid and satisfying. Every blow to an enemy feels significant and wonderful to do. Nier: Automata in a way reminds me of a faster paced Bloodborne. If you aren't evading enemy attacks you could instantly die to a combo in higher difficulties. (You'll die instantly from one hit on the hardest difficulty regardless). The boss battles always have your adrenaline running which is something I haven't personally felt since Cuphead.

    Story wise, the game is pretty straightforward and makes you question your morals and the cause you're fighting for around halfway through the game. Otherwise, the game is spectacular in every respective way. My only complaint is that there are a few questionable texture pop in times here and there. Nonetheless, Nier: Automata is the perfect game every Xbox player should own.    … Expand

Although it touches on a number of philosophical themes and has a decent story, it's not as deep and it's nowhere near as mind-blowing as people make it out to be. There is an interesting narrative here, and there are emotional moments, but for some reason I was expecting more, perhaps because of the near universal praise it gets.

    On the other hand, I loved the soundtrack - it's amazing, and fits the game perfectly. It really adds to the atmosphere which is already great due to the design of the abandoned city and other parts of the deserted Earth.

    The gameplay is pretty varied and changes between a few styles that are all quite fun. The hack and slash did wear a bit thin for me but there's enough customisation for you to keep it feeling fresh if you put the effort in.

    Overall, it is a beautiful game, and after getting the 5 main endings I can say it's worth playing. It's a creative and different title. I did like Nier in the end, but I just wish it had story beats I could have truly been surprised by and been in awe of.    … Expand

You come to care about the characters a lot as the story progresses, and none of them follow typical anime tropes, it’s even difficult to actually call this game a jrpg with how different it is from the rest. For me the world never felt empty, and it was for a reason as large scale vistas were displayed in front of you. The only area I believe can be criticized is the lack of gameplay variety in side quests, however the side quests still add to the world, whether it be new weapons or adding to the lore of the world. This game definitely makes it into the top 10 games I’ve ever played, and even if you have the slightest inclination to buy and play it, absolutely do it because you will not be disappointed!… Expand

    Before I start, I would like to preface this by saying: a) I haven't played ANY game of this universe, and haven't heard or seen ANY spoilers to this game, and b) I started playing this game only knowing that Nier Automata is "one of the best game to have ever been created".

    Nier Automata is a great game, yes, but it is far from all-time classics.

    The main characters are memorable, distinguishable, and most of them serve their purpose, but they'll hardly be used as a measuring stick to other main characters in future games.

    The plot is decent, I guess, and I've got to give the writers the credit, as sometimes when you just KNOW they are going take a bunny out of the hat, they manage to take a tiger instead. Yet when you know SOMETHING is going to happen, something really happens.

    Speaking of the plot itself, for me, the last third of the game left some sour taste in my mouth, not because of the outcome, but rather the feeling of missed masterplan opportunity. If you've finished the game already, you should understand me. It's is an example when a fan-theory actually makes more sense and has less plot-holes than what has actually happened according to the original source. Route C is just so kabuki-ish and too far-fetched.

    The open world is beautiful and picturesque, however graphics sometimes looks a bit dated.

    The gaming process itself is okay, however the navigation and camera are all over the place. These are two weakest points of the game, as for me.

    I wouldn't say that the gaming process is too repetitive and grindy. I mean, sometimes it is, but it serves its purpose and somewhat rewarding. So, no major complains here.

    The strongest point of the game is, without a shadow of a doubt, its score. One of the most beautiful gaming OST out there.

    All in all, Nier Automata is no ordinary RPGSlasher to kill some time, sooner or later you'll find yourself emotionally invested into the depth if its drama, however I can't guarantee that you'll end up gaining as much as you'd like to.

    Solid 8 for me, arguably 8.5.    … Expand

    As someone with both an Xbox One and a PS4, I'm excited that Xbox One users get to experience this game. I do have to say, PS4 is killing it this generation when it comes to great exclusives and so I rarely use my Xbox One which I think is unfair in a way. Hopefully the next generation of consoles have close to equally great exclusives to reward buyers of each console.

The only good thing about this game is the main character you play which is actually drawn nice. The game is technically 3d but nearly always plays as 2D apart from the boss fight which again was a tedius long drawn out affair.

    The "platforming" sections are marred by awful camera function and instill a massive sense of pointlessness. The exploration is a waste of time in the empty, boring world, which can take an age to traverse at times. The general combat is tedious and repetitive, with next to no satisfying payoff at any point. Shmup patterns and controls feel amateuring at best, leaving anyone with any experience in the genre bored to tears or laughing out of despair.

    The only redeeming factor is the soundtrack, which is just wonderful. It's just a sad fate for the composer, that their talent and hard work is forver attached to this sad excuse for a game. How anyone is giving this 5-6/10 is confusing enough, seeing the 10's on display is just outright hilarious. Quite telling that they often never say what is actually good about it and just call it a masterpiece.

    Excellent graphics, good draw distance, lots of textures, lots of particles. Very good music if you like melancholic music and Japanese vocal themes. A great Japanese. Great customization of passive skills through chips that you find, farm / make or buy. This 2B “the Waifu” of many. It has good jokes and moments of involuntary comedy. Playing with 9S completely changes the gameplay. It has as many endings as letters of the alphabet. Its best playable and visual version is on Xbox One X / Series S / X. It's on Xbox Game Pass.

    The bad:
    Mix of genres (Hack'n Slash, Shot'em Up, Shump Game, Bullet Hell, Brawler, 2D Platform, 3D Platform, 2.5D Platform ...) so many that none of them do it well. To have touches of Hack'n Slash there is no customization of combos, they are already preset. Don't be fooled, this game has 2B but it's more of a game of running errands, dodging lots of red balls, and making deliveries with touches of fan service. Many many moments of other people's pain. Very Japanese jokes that get lost in translation. The fishing game. There are areas such as the command center or the dressing rooms where textures and effects disappear in a brutal way. Its Pan-tone (color palette, range of colors) is very opaque, throwing more brown, brown, black and gold, mostly except in the heads where it changes to black and white that can take you out of the experience for totally white objects that seem very false. Only three types of weapons to make combinations (spear, sword / katana and great-sword).

    Meh !:
    This game is NOT a masterpiece or a joke, it is a good game only. This game is rated M, for the scared and those who later catch them doing dirty things in front of the TV. This game has moments of "someone else's grief"/cringe, uncomfortable situations that could make you feel bad if you play in front of other people (or in front of your parents or in front of your partner or in front of interested people). The game is good and fun if you like the Japanese and the games of Navecitas / Matamarcianos and Bullet Hell. It has a very basic fishing minigame that will make you laugh. You don't have to play Drakengard 3 to understand him, but it helps. The phrase "masterpiece" is released with an ease that is scary and more referring to a game that, although technically good, has many playable deficiencies and sometimes it is well argued and other times its argument "leaks everywhere" ... the game is good, transgressive, uncomfortable, ridiculous, full of cliche, pedantic ... but not a masterpiece.

The game stop reps didn't even know this was on Xbox and was utterly lost trying to help me find a digital code. It's a real shame this game doesn't get the praise it deserves.

    I'm playing on the One X and man, is it a pretty game. Sure some of the textures could use a bit more pop to them, but honest i was happy with the 4k and HDR. The game play was super fun and was smooth. No performance issues and the only real bad thing i could say is the cut scenes was a bit lower res and just didn't have the fidelity that the rest of the game did.

    Now you can't review this game without mentioning the 2 best features of this game. The music and the story. The combat is fun and all, but dear lord the soundtrack is probably the best i've ever heard. it really fits the atmosphere and the whole post apocalypse vibe to the planet. It's very anime feeling with the music but it fits the feel so well.

    Now the story is going to get the highest praise i can give. Now some may not agree but i genuinely could not wait to do more missions and learn more. To see the story unfold and to see the twists and the differen't routes. The character development between 2b and 9s was superb. Honestly even the machines with their different quirks was such endearing characters and i was happy with the endings i have seen so far.

    The combat to me feels like DMC so if that aint your thing, then you may find it hit or miss. It did get a tad annoying to constantly hold the pods shoot button but the combos and different abilities gave some refreshing options to different fights.

    The camera will switch between 2d and 3d views and feels very stylish and really makes it feel more cinematic, but oddly kinda still helped keep the immersion. Same with some of the UI. It felt very robotic which is fitting for the setting.

    Now there is 26 different endings. You level up for what seems like forever, so there is a metric ton of replay ability. You definitely want to at least get the main endings in the main routes. A, B and C. Some was kinda nice to stumble upon and a few felt kinda funny, but really it just gives you more to do.

    Honestly all things said and done, if you are reading this, you probably heard about this game. I honestly dont know why you wouldn't play it. Sure i wish the story was longer, the world was more open and a few other things but this is a MASTER PIECE. The music and story is instant classic. The gameplay is fun, and i mean really isn't that why you play games?

    Dont listen to the others. This game can be challenging on higher difficulties, its save and camera features are different from most games, but trust me when i say if you play this game the right way you shouldn't have many issues. I think i died only once the entire play through on normal and experienced zero serious bugs or save related issues. So just take the 30-40 hours and beat the main routes and enjoy this game. It's definitely one of a kind.

    Just a few tips, first buy plenty of healing items. save often incase you trigger an ending, always use your pod, and dont repair your dress after you self destruct, unless you dont like "the view" XD    … Expand

    The differences are a much more improved framerate and resolution, visuals don't really improve too much but theres a little more smoothing around edges.

    You play as part of the Yorha team, your duty is to do everything in the name of mankind, doing battle against small or rather large and grand machines, a lot of the machines have so much detail and care paid to personality that it becomes a bad feeling to be slaying them at times as you and 2B, A2 or 9S start to understand that machine life-forms have emotion and feeling just like us Androids. (I use that term because the world really felt like you were with them on the journey).

    Musically the game is in my view undoubtably in the top place for musical scores in a game, it's sad, depressing, grand, gracious and absolutely astounding.

    Difficulty options are very welcome allowing new players to play with absolutely no issues, also allowing vets to take on the stupidly difficult hardest mode where you die in one hit no matter what, Has anyone actually ever beaten that? I doubt it unless it was on PC with hacks, but it's there if you want a challenge.

    Visually landscapes and scenery are beautiful although the muted colors often seem like it could have been better although I'm not sure that would have fit the game which is why I don't hold that against it.

    Gameplay wise it's the same old you'd expect from Platinum but with additions as the game seamlessly moves into a Shump mode or a kind of side scrolling mode, welcome changes in the gameplay appear at times, it's something I haven't seen done this well elsewhere.

    Map-design muito bem feito, mesmo após meses sem jogar é possível lembrar de onde cada coisa fica no mapa.

    Histórias e desenvolvimento de personagem muito bem dirigida... A história principal do jogo não tem sentido, mas isso é parte de como ela foi construida, a história principal é apenas uma desculpa para contar a história secundária, que tenta chegar no emocional dos jogadores.

    A gameplay do jogo é muito variada, existem momentos onde joga um hack-in-slash, um jogo de navizinha e momentos onde você joga alguns mini-games de hack. Quando colocado tudo isso junto, eu pensei que não funcionaria muito bem, mas funciona incrivelmente bem.

    Pontos negativos:

Le Replicant non plus, c’était pas le même et heureusement aussi, car le pire reste le tout premier : une sacrée merde, vraiment !

    Dans Automata, l’univers est devenu carrément SF avec un côté post-apo mieux rendu, en lieu et place de la fantasy limitée des précédents… L’espèce d’histoire ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard mais fait le boulot… il paraît (et le jeu l’encourage lors de la première fin) qu’il faut le refaire plusieurs fois pour avoir… les autres fins. Mais ça va pas le faire parce qu’il faut… tout refaire du début… et comme les combats ressemblent à des crises d’épilepsie ininterrompues, confuses et beaucoup trop bordéliques, ça soûle assez vite la seconde fois.

    Heureusement qu’on peut personnaliser son andro avec les ‘programmes’ et rendre le combat à 99% automatique ! (comme dans Replicant) parce que sinon, on aurait craqué…

    Le principe de sauvegarde (on dirait de la wifi) est nettement moins contraignant et le jeu à défaut d’être techniquement brillant (loin de là, même) reste parfaitement fluide sur console (à 60 im/s). ‘2B’ est évidemment une super cocotte de combat dont on peut mater la culotte, ce qui ne gâche rien, ma foi (on se croirait dans un manga !).

    Le jeu s’avère parfois assez drôle mais reste encore victime de nombreuses missions secondaires pour coursier… La carte s’avère pour sa part l’une de plus mal faites jamais vue dans un jeu vidéo… et le déplacement rapide est presque aussi pénible à utiliser. Mais je ne veux pas conclure sur une impression négative : Automata est certaiment un jeu très sympathique en fin de compte. Au moins la première fois.

    Les fois suivantes, on refera la même chose mais avec '9S' : ce dernier peut pirater les ennemis et les faire exploser (gros dégâts sur les boss) via un mini-jeu idiot et répétitif, hélas. A partir des troisième et quatrième fois, on tombe enfin sur des nouveautés et même quelques révélations... tout à fait décevantes à dire vrai. On sent qiue le jeu meuble de plus en plus et n'a plus d'idées...

    Finalement (d'ailleurs les 'nouvelles fins' sont très devantes elles aussi), on se limitera au premier parcours avec '2B' bien entendu : la toute première fin est la meilleure et c'est là que le jeu se suffit à lui-même. Tout le reste n'est que prétentions (au pluriel) et pertes de temps (également au pluriel).    … Expand

    +/- The 2nd walkthrough I can only conditionally recommend. The 3rd walkthrough is then really annoying. The enemies are 10-20 levels higher and you can't buy any items at the beginning. Without health boost it became so annoying that I quit the game. Big minus.
    - The "tutorial" (a kind of introductory map) really ticked me off. It goes about 1h and if you die at the end, you have to start all over again. You can't save in the tutorial either. And the stupidest thing is that in the tutorial is not shown how to use the health items manually.

    __

    Ich möchte mit einigen FAQs beginnen:
    1) Wie kann man speichern? -> Nach dem Tutorial kann man fast in der ganzen Welt manuell speichern, sofern das Gebiet sicher ist. Dafür müsst ihr einfach die Checkpoints freischalten.
    2) Gib es Fasttravel? -> Ein Fasttravel-System gibt es nach ein paar Stunden Gameplay. Ihr könnt dann zwischen den freigeschalteten Checkpoints hin und herreisen. Vorher müsst ihr aber alles zu Fuss gehen.

    + Die Maps/Welten sind schön und abwechslungsreich - egal ob Industrie-, Wüsten-, oder Wald-Gebiet. Zu Beginn wirk die Welt ziemlich gross, aber nach dem 1. Walkthrough muss ich sagen, dass es noch etwas mehr hätte sein dürfen.
    + Die Story ist gut.
    + Viel Action - mal als 2D Twin-Stick-Shooter, der grösste Teil in hübscher 3D-Grafik.
    + Coole Bosse
    +/- Der 2. Walkthrough kann ich nur bedingt empfehlen. Es werden einige Aspekte der Geschichte von einer anderen Seite her beleuchtet, und mit dem Charakter 9S hat man etwas andere Kampfmöglichkeiten, aber unter dem Strich lohnen sich die zusätzlichen und sehr ähnlichen 10h nur bedingt. Der 3. Walkthrough ist dann richtig nervig. Die gegner sind 10 - 20 Level höher und man kann zu Beginn keine Items mehr kaufen. Ohne Health-Boost wurde es so annoying, dass ich das Spiel abgebrochen habe. Grosses Minus.
    - Das "Tutorial" (eine Art Einführungsmap) hat mich richtig angekackt. Es geht ca. 1h und wenn man am Ende stirbt, muss man alles von vorne Beginnen. Man kann im Tutorial auch nicht speichern. Und das dümmste ist, dass im Tutorial nicht gezeigt wird, wie man die Health-Items manuell benutzt.    … Expand

    I enjoyed the hell out of this game and the uniwersum,

    Normally I would be pissed of while re-playing kind of the story, here I did not mind at all and stayed glued to my console playing for hours.

    Gameplay is fun, but I think the main attraction here is in story + characters.
    Loved this experience.

    Without being an AAA, this game is wonderful, Yoko Taro has a gift for going out of the ordinary and giving us exceptionally dystopian stories, with a quite polished and fun gameplay, and perhaps one of the best soundtracks in history, turns this game in one of the best of this generation. I hope and in the future Yoko can have a bigger budget to give us something even more legendary.

    Sendo o roteiro escrito e produzido por Yoko Taro, achei no começo a história muito simples pra mim, em que: você está em uma terra devastada por máquinas extraterrestres, sendo 2B, uma soldada de YoHRa, um esquadrão de androids que está responsável de proteger os resquícios do mundo antigo - eliminando as máquinas - pra que, enfim, os humanos restantes que foram pra lua devido ao ataqueSendo o roteiro escrito e produzido por Yoko Taro, achei no começo a história muito simples pra mim, em que: você está em uma terra devastada por máquinas extraterrestres, sendo 2B, uma soldada de YoHRa, um esquadrão de androids que está responsável de proteger os resquícios do mundo antigo - eliminando as máquinas - pra que, enfim, os humanos restantes que foram pra lua devido ao ataque dessas máquinas na terra, voltar ao seu planeta de origem. No começo, achei que seria um jogo puro fanservice com uma história simples e jogabilidade bacana pra passar o tempo, porém, eu estava bem enganado pelo fato de como o começo dessa história simples, passa a ser desenvolvido tratando de assuntos como o existencialismo e o nilismo juntamente com a essência única de cada personagem e a forma como cada ambiente de resistência dentro do jogo - sendo de máquinas ou androids - terem uma forma diferente de governar, fazendo com que até mesmo os androids protagonistas duvidem dessa "falsa essência humana" presente nas máquinas. Enfim, além de todos esses assuntos que são tratados de forma muito bem na obra, o jogo, obviamente, sabe muito bem mexer com a emoção do jogador, dando impacto em cada acontecimento marcante, e isso foi tão forte que pra mim, no fim do jogo, eu tive a mesma angústia e a mesma indecisão que tive quando joguei The Last of Us Parte 2, realmente foi algo incrível e é aí que a trilha sonora entra, fazendo toda essa emoção passar pelo jogador além da trama. A trilha sonora do jogo responsável por Keiichi Okabe, diferente de sua composição do jogo NieR, em NieR: Automata, é uma trilha em que você vai se sentir bem ouvindo, a música dos estágios, de lutas e do mundo aberto são incrivelmente belas e o que fico mais maravilhado é que a letra dessas trilhas é de uma língua dentro do jogo: a língua angelical. E volto a ressaltar que diferente do jogo NieR, em que a trilha é notória pelo fato de fazer o jogador se sentir como o protagonista, passando os sentimentos de euforia, tristeza, medo e até reconhecendo a loucura do mesmo. Em NieR: Automata, as canções são tão belas que tu pode baixar no teu celular e ouvir livremente, não é atoa que tem vários concertos japoneses com a trilha sonora do jogo. E agora, por último, mas não menos importante: a jogabilidade. Sendo produzida pela Platinum Games, a jogabilidade de NieR: Automata é muito livre, recompensando o fato de que é um jogo Hack n' Slash (muito inimigo na tela e tu só tem que descer a porrada) e não ter tantos combos entre uma arma pesada e leve; essa empresa fez com que o jogo ficasse mais dinâmico com grandes variedades de armas, usando o punho como até mesmo, luvas especiais, lanças, espadas pesadas/leves e até mesmo com a variedade de tipos de tiros que podem ser equipados pelo Pod, um auxiliador dos androids de YoHRa, uma maneira de conseguir abater alvos de longa distância dentro do jogo. Além dessas variedades de armas, obviamente entraria o sistema de upgrade, e é aí que a jogabilidade desse jogo pode te recompensar. Sendo um sistema aberto de armazenamento de chips, em que com o decorrer do jogo tu vais obter outros tipos destes, por exemplo, sendo um que te deixa dar um dash maior ou outro que aumenta o dano do teu pod se tu és uma pessoa que gosta de atacar de longe. E por isso que a jogabilidade brilha dentro dessa obra, pois tu vais customizando com o decorrer da trama, a maneira de como tu quer jogar, deixando assim o jogo com vastas opções de jogabilidade, além do grande experimentalismo de Yoko Taro presente na trama, variando o jogo de 3D pra 2.5D, space shooter e mech warrior (aqueles jogos em que tu é um robô gigante lutando contra outro ser gigantesco). Ademais, ainda tem os outros 3 protagonistas do jogo que fazem com que o playstyle mude muito

    Enfim, essa foi minha resenha do jogo NieR: Automata, um jogo que recomendo muito e que com certeza virou meu jogo favorito.
    Sendo o diretor e roteirista de toda a série, eu realmente agradeço ao Yoko Taro por esta grande obra.    … Expand

    La verdad ha sido un juego que su inicio emociona mucho, al momento de entregarte su mundo abierto ya empiezas a tener las ganas de descubir cada recoveco del mapa, tanto sus misiones principales como secundarias te dejan tan pensativo que al momento de reflexionar, te dan ganas de cambiar el mundo entero.

    Mecanicamente es un juego bueno, pero al ser tan divertido los sets de movimientos y ataques, te hace olvidar completamente que sus mecanicas no son tan avanzadas como la mayoría de juegos, ciertos sistemas son complicados de entender, pero solo basta con experimentar para entender mejor los mecanismos que te entregan, luego de experimentar muchisimo lograras obtener el resultado optimo y deseado.
    Hay que pasarse el juego por lo menos 3 veces para poder jugarlo al completo debido a que este juego tiene varios finales pero no crean que eso lo hace repetitivo y aburrido, no.
    Curiosamente tus primeras impresiones son que te vas a aburrir haciendo lo mismo, pero cuando te pasas el juego por segunda vez, ciertos detalles cambian, además de la jugabilidad, eso hace que no caigas en el aburrimiento fácilmente.
    Es un juego que sorprende de inicio a fin, pensaba encontrarme una historia cliché pero solo me encontré una historia y profundidad muy poco frecuente en las historias.
    El soundtrack es memorable y pegadizo, además su atmósfera encaja demasiado bien con la historia que se nos presenta en el juego.

Dramatic, sad, funny, anything you can imagine. The music also actually always fits perfectly with what's going on.

    CONTRAS:
    - Aunque justificable por la historia, el mundo es vacío. Demasiado.
    - Tiende a ser injusto y castigar fuerte al que no se sepa las mecánicas o los controles, pues es un juego de velocidad y precisión.
    - No hay un motivo general que motive a rejugar, como probar diferentes tipos de builds pues aunque hay variedad de armas, solo cambia el timing de ellas.
    - No hay guardado automático, y puede ser un problema tras horas de juego.

    Nier: Automata como hack & slash es un gran juego con gameplay y mecánicas exquisitas que aborda temas no tan explorados y los ejecuta bien. El mundo justifica su historia, pero tiene carencias grandes que pueden arruinar la experiencia del jugador por momentos. Además, se entiende que el estilo artístico no logre atrapar a todos. Por otro lado, el fanservice no es muy de mi agrado en videojuegos.    … Expand
