Nier: Automata Reviews
There are annoyances, such as some unnecessary repetition, and it never really challenges as an ultimate gameplay experience, but these are more than made up for by the excellent presentation of fascinating story with intriguing and strongly-utilised themes.
NieR: Automata is a modern masterpiece.
NieR: Automata is a gem every gamer should play at least once, regardless of its issues. Though struggling to reach the same status as its competitors, it remains one of 2017's most unique releases as well as a hallmark in storytelling.
Nier: Automata is a match made in heaven, blending the zany tragedy of Yoko Taro's storytelling with Platinum Games' high-energy gameplay. Unfortunately, the PC port suffers from performance problems.
Nier: Automata is the definition of a video game. Platinum games made a game which can entertain you for countless hours. After finishing the game, you can easily start it over. It doesn't matter if you like Japanese games or not, Nier: Automata is a game that you have to play.

Nier: Automata is a big ball of a surprise that keeps on giving. I went into it with no expectations and found myself amazed with it. It is a really wild and beautiful game that shouldn't pass under anyone's radar. The fun gameplay coupled with the fantastic story and the soundtrack makes this a complete package and I'm hesitating to call it an action game cause that would be a disservice to the emotional impact it had on me. I'm sure it will have the same effect on a lot of you if you give it a chance. You most certainly should.
NieR: Automata is not a perfect game, but it's damn near close to perfection. I've enjoyed every moment of it, and although the post-apocalyptic Earth felt a little synthetic, perhaps that was the point. Missing out on NieR: Automata would be missing out on one of the better JRPG's I've played in a long time. The game explored interesting themes through the means of multiple genres, all executed to the highest of standards, and it deserves credit for that. If you're a fan of "the PlatinumGames touch", be sure to grab NieR: Automata - you won't regret it.
NieR: Automata has far too much padding and would be better as a 20-hour experience instead of a 40 hour one. Despite all that, I can’t deny that there are parts of this game that simply have to be experienced. The music and the story are phenomenal; it’s just a shame the combat doesn’t live up to the highs I experienced elsewhere.
Nier: Automata is a perfect introduction to Yoko Taro and Platinum Games. Masterful story telling and silky smooth combat come together to highlight why video games are the superior form of entertainment media. Playing Nier: Automata until the true ending will reveal what it means to be a gamer, and a good human.
Nier: Automata is something more than your typical hack ‘n’ slash game. Everything is either eccentric or mind-blowing; and above them all stands its philosophic story which contains a lot of references and metaphors. Nier: Automata has raised the Nier franchise to a whole new level, thanks to Platinum Games and Yoko Taro.

Nier: Automata is an absolute masterclass in game design. It surpasses expectations time and time again resulting in an experience not to be missed by fans of action titles.
So as I sit here drinking the last of my fine lager, pondering the meaning of existence, I wholeheartedly recommend you pour yourself a glass of Nier Automata too. PlatinumGames has had many high points throughout its 11-year existence, but never has it delivered something quite as mesmerising as Nier Automata, an action-RPG to be truly savoured.
After NieR's slight success, many lost their hope about the second installment of this series. Even those who believed in Automata's success, didn't expect much, but after being officially released, Automata proved itself to many, that not only it is quite the masterpiece that everyone was waiting for, but also a rare experiece with deep and emotional meaningin it. A fresh and stylish gameplay along with dynamic and beautiful graphics and a massive deep, unique storytale that will deliver you an enjoyable and unforgettable journey through a metalic dystopian world

Despite its minor blemishes, this is a quintessential title to own if you own a PlayStation 4.
A sequel to cult classic Nier was a worrying prospect to some, however Platinum Games have done a brilliant job with this spiritual sequel. While it has some niggling issues, the combat is typically brilliant for Platinum, and the game excels in almost every other respect. A beautifully crafted, yet quirky world that demands multiple playthroughs.
Nier: Automata has easily become one of my favorite games of all time. The tight gameplay mechanics, interesting background, weirdly depressing story and incredible music all combine into a game that is a joy to play, and an experience that will stay with me for quite some time. If you enjoy action games, weird stories, or titles that play with your expectations, you owe it to yourself to play Nier: Automata.
