This game is hard to emulate on a M&K combination due to its genre mashing elements, thus a controller is recommended.
   The performance is stable, with no frame rate drops below 40 on heavier action scenes,
   Great port, kudos to platinum.
   The full screen bug is there, hope it gets fixed soon. Temporary fix will be to use Borderless Gaming App.… Expand

   Great great great great game!!
   Threw in 10h/day in 2 weekends (couldnt play midweek) and plan to redo all archs soon enough.
   Great combat, great story, the universe is mehly, great voice acting (play it in Jap, though english is fairly decent, its still weird), great combat (again), great open world to explore.
   Oh, and, bloody awesome soundtrack! The ost of this game is simply magnificient and greatly empowers every scene.
   9 months after I'm still listening to the OST.… Expand

   NieR: Automata is one of the most beautiful games to exist, its profound story and perfect combat combined with the perfect music really sendsNieR: Automata is one of the most beautiful games to exist, its profound story and perfect combat combined with the perfect music really sends you to the game of this post apocaliptic world.
   
   Instead of foccusing on what NieR: Automata does right, which a lot, i think its best to understand what it doesnt do right.
   
   Colour Scheme and Scenery: While NieR: Automata has a beautiful landscape with tons of new concepts and ideas, like the Amusement Park and Pascal's Village, the game suffers from a great problem that touches its beautiful scenery, the colour scheme is horrendous, the game always has this gray tone in EVERYTHING that you look at, the colours (when they are present) look washed out and boring, some may argue that the colour scheme was thought to reflect the state of the world and the characters, however i do not buy this, i think it doesnt add anything and if anything it only takes the potential that the game had to look even better.
   
   Textures and minor details: While the overall game may look just fine, the game can range from incredible textures like 2B clothes to terrible cardboard paper textures like the rocks near the shopping district, this inconsistency summed with the bland washed out colour scheme create a very unamusing thing to look at.
   
   Overall Settings and Perfomance: that is the worst possible thing to talk about when talking about NieR: Automata, not being able to pause and use the menu when you are doing any type of movement is ridiculous, not being able until 2021 to play the game in 16:9 is something baffling, an insult, the ammount of disregard for the PC port of this game is visible.
   
   Story Repetition (routes): arguably while NieR has one of the best stories, it also suffers a lot from its repetition, when you are playing with 9S on route B, its the worst part of the game, you are playing something you already played, with a much worse gameplay and way more boring, overall Route B is where people seem to leave the game, i cant blame them, its not something perfect by any means, very much the opposite actually.
   
   Things that NieR does the best:
   
   Soundtrack: the soundtrack for NieR Automata is one of the best in the entire video game industry, the perfect combination of instruments and singing for every single moment of the game, it has somber songs, sad songs, happy songs, fighting songs, you got it all, if it wasnt for NieR's amazing soundtrack im 100% the game wouldnt be what it is.
   
   Gameplay: NieR gives you a lot of possibilities with the setup you want to use, you can use multiple weapons, combined with your pod, which gives you a lot of possibilities on how you want to approach the fight, and the game is actually challenging, being an alternate gameplay between 2D Platformers and actual combat, it never gets boring.
   
   Story: While one could argue that the story is not that good, i sincerely think its great, i also prefer NieR:Replicant story over Automata, however the story is not bad by any means, its really something else, entirely different, its in its own league, it plays a lot with philosophy and dilemmas, if you are not interested by those topics then obviously the story is not for you, however i dont see anything anything wrong with Automata's story, objectively speaking.
   
   Overall: NieR: Automata is great, it has a great story, beautiful soundtrack and amazing combat, it suffers from a lot of problems in regards to settings, colour schemes, framerate and all, but if you genuinely wish to get past these problems and attempt to accept the game for what it is, it can become a fantastic experience.… Expand

   Esse jogo não tem a menor condição de ser jogado, eu acreditava que por ser a edição GOTY, a má otimização e o problema de resolução estivesseEsse jogo não tem a menor condição de ser jogado, eu acreditava que por ser a edição GOTY, a má otimização e o problema de resolução estivesse solucionado, mas me enganei.
   
   O jogo não é ruim, mas o port desse jogo por parte da Square Enix e Platinum Games chega a ser cômico, pois é um jogo de 2017 que tem um problema ridículo de resolução. É normal que jogos mais antigos tenha alguns Patches para melhorar ou atualizar a resolução como no caso do "Widescreen Fix" dos GTA's da era 3D, mas esse que faz parte da atual ter esse tipo de problema? Não dá, fora que tem propaganda enganosa na chamada, pois a ultima coisa que esse jogo roda é a 60fps, pode verificar alguns relatos de quem já jogou este game via Steam, o jogo é totalmente cagado, até mesmo nos Settings que é completamente limitado.
   
   Se você quer pegar o game, pega no 'Xiboquinha' ou 'Preisteichion', pois na Steam não dá. Preze pelo seu rico dinheiro que você soa pra ganhar e escolha jogos que tenha ao menos o mínimo de otimização que é o caso da resolução, e até 1 real sai caro, pois tem jogos Indies que você gasta centavos que não existe esse problema.
   
   Fui praticamente obrigado a pedir reembolso na STEAM, um game de 2017 não pode depender de mod de RESOLUÇÃO para rodar como deveria.… Expand
