Nier: Automata Reviews
NieR: Automata is one of the biggest surprises in the year and one hell of a game. It offers a diverse variety of genres in a well designed title with fluid and dynamic controls where fast-paced action never stops. On top of that, its full and rich cast of characters and well-set story makes this one of the most interesting projects we will see in 2017 and one game than no one can miss any any means.

NieR: Automata improves on its predecessor in almost every way. It's thoughtful, inventive, subversive, and an absolute joy to play.
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.

I wasn't too sure whether I was going to like this game or not, it's not usually my style of game, however I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it and will continue to do so. The story has really gripped me and I would highly recommend the game.
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.
A fantastic mix of explosive action and thoughtful storytelling, that results in one of the most unpredictable and ambitious action role-players of the modern era.
While it's certainly not perfect, Nier: Automata is nonetheless a breath of fresh air that will challenge your thumbs as well as your thinking - a game with hydrocarbon heart and silicon soul that will stay with you long after you've set the controller down.
The sequel to Yoko Taro's cult hit is a beautifully frenetic hack-and-slasher with an engrossing and layered story.
NieR: Automata is nearly as good of an RPG as it is an action game, which is a mighty tall order. It's tough to really strike that balance as many action-RPGs tend to favor one element over the other, but Platinum Games, with the help of Square Enix, has tapped into its innate ability to captivate us with combat while keeping the rest of the journey engaging.
This is one of the best single-player RPGs to ever embrace PC, delivering a long-lasting adventure that entertains with its exciting gameplay while piercing the senses with the story it has to tell. Arriving just days after its console version, it serves as an example that the PC platform hasn't been forgotten.
Yoko Tano's unique storytelling ability has matched perfectly with the committed development culture at PlatinumGames, making NieR: Automata a mature and thought-provoking action-JRPG. Its tight combat and compelling narrative sets it apart from both its predecessor and the Drakengard series, and it's utterly essential for fans of the genre.
I leave Nier: Automata behind, not just pleased with it, but enraptured by it. Hopefully you will too.
Hands down, one of the smartest action titles Platinum Games has ever put out, with a rousing score and some of the best narrative ideas I’ve seen in a videogame.
Nier: Automata takes fantastic action and RPG elements and blends them into a game world unlike any other, creating a truly memorable experience. The game continuously pleases and surprises with terrific gameplay that is constantly transforming, and a narrative that keeps you thinking and guessing. It has a lot to offer, and is an experience that shouldn't be missed.
NieR: Automata has more creativity and self-awareness in its little finger than most games have for their entire run time. Don't miss this because it's sandwiched between other, bigger games.
Few games are able to showcase the power of the medium like Nier: Automata.
The camera behaves sort of weird at times as well, but this is also highly customizable.
Nier: Automata have been able to absorb the very best from original game, including great music, powerful and very complicated story and unique blend of several genres. Platinum Games has expanded the character customization and greatly improved combat, which now should please not just RPG fans, but also Action enthusiasts. All this allowed the project to reach an entirely new level of performance. Nier: Automata is, without a doubt, one of the best releases on the PlayStation 4 and the game that should everyone, who cares about unique signature projects, returning us to the Golden Era of the PS2, play.

Yet, it’s a fantastic and well balanced mix between sleek PlatinumGames action and JRPG gameplay, resulting bigger than the sum of its parts. It brings forth an absolutely fascinating setting, and charming, likable and memorable characters that will both make you smile and tug at your heart strings. 2B, 9S and the rest of the cast already cut themselves a well deserved corner in my heart, and I’m positive they will do the same for many of you as well.
