Feb 12, 2020Despite not up to date graphics and other flaws (like boring mmo-like side quests and unbalanced weapons) the game is one of the most memorable and atmospheric games of all time. The characters and the music are unique, and if you beat the game you will never forget it.
-
Feb 14, 2020One of those game with an ending that doesn't leave you indifferent. The way it deals with issues such as conscience or destiny is worthy of the great masters. Love it.
-
Jun 19, 2020Damn, this game is awesome. This is an art I think. Beautiful music, great story, excellent character design. The first time I did not understand this game. But the second time I couldn’t tear myself away from her. By the way, I was expelled from the university because of her xD I love this game. Yoko Taro - you fn genius)

Oct 28, 2019What a game this is !
Never thought I was gonna play it cuz i had some wrong impressions on it but man did i get wrong on this one..
Everything in this game is just phenomenal but one thing goes beyond all and thats the story.
PlatinumGames deserve a huge Bravo for this one!
If you ever got in any doubt about trying Nier:Automata - dont be, just play it and be a part of this piece of art! -

Jul 7, 2020A game like no other. The story is deep and engaging, the gameplay is fast and stylish, the music is out of this world, and the semi-open world is breathtaking. This game also features a lot of unconventional design choices that are very surprising and like nothing I've ever seen before, but they are sure welcoming surprises.

Mar 19, 2019游戏是个好游戏,但是开发商吃相太难看,价格定位过高,如果是一开始的199定价,我相信很多人会买,六分给的游戏,扣开发商四分
-
Aug 7, 2019The combat is fast and graceful. The story is good from the start. The music is good. And the different camera angles they use is interesting. You get a full package of game here. Some of the side quest are bad. But overall it's a good game.

Mar 4, 2019OMG LMAO
It's such a stupid way to get money from poor players. Completely agree with VioleGreis. The most helpful review ever! -
Mar 9, 2019I dont regret having bought this game.

Nov 24, 2019The game was not so great now, it was totally overhyped. The gameplay is very fast, and the game does not manage to develop personal proximity to the characters.
The soundtrack is outstanding. -
Mar 28, 2019I had not played the previous games so went in without any prior bias. Was enjoying it till I got to the ending and then another ending and then another ending by which point I had gotten tired of it and wished it just had one ending and thats it.

Apr 26, 2019I honestly cannot understand the respect that this game gets.
Very bland combat (and that is all that you do). The story is typical JRPG nonsense.
Voice acting is very poor. Attack, dodge, rinse and repeat.
I tried for about 4 hours and gave up and got rid.
From what I had read, I expected something life-affirming but it was dreadful. -
May 11, 2019Entre los personajes y los paisajes y sus gráficos no salgo de casa.

Mar 28, 2020The lack of auto save is unforgivable for a game like that. I played 1h in the prologue, the game crashed, and I had to restart from scratch... bye bye Nier Automata
-
Jun 17, 2021Not a decent action/ARPG game.
Demo has about 75% action content of the entire game. -

Dec 7, 2020The BEST OST of all time. I am still listening to its music a year since beating the game. Did I mention the story is a master piece too?
-
Mar 6, 2022What a let down. Kept expecting the game to get better after hearing so many people say how great it is.

Jul 8, 2020This is probably the most underrated games of all times. I have enjoyed every single second spent in this unbelievable Universe which is a brilliant mix of Isaac Asimov, Arthur Clark, The Holy Bible.
You MUST complete at least the first 3 parts of the game in order to reveal all the secrets and deep philosophy of this unbelievable world.
THE BEST GAME EVER. -
Aug 6, 2019Read very good reviews about this game. I give it a try and now i understand why people call it a masterpiece :) one of the best games ever played. Highly recommended for those who like great story, characters, action and something more, hiding beneath simplistic surface. Realy great game. But know only one thing, this game is designed for multiple walktrhoughs! And good luck.
-
Apr 26, 2019One of the best games I ever played. Thank you! This game is immaculate in game industry.

May 19, 2019Only thin i have to say about this is if you havn't played it yet your missing out big time. This game is so unique and amazing the story will make you speechless.
-
Nov 29, 2020Uno de los juegos más sobrevalorados que he podido probar. Gráficos desfasados, combate aburrido que consiste en machacar botones prácticamente, una historia que no me aporta nada que no haya visto ya, la música si me parece buena. Drakengard ya me pareció un juego bastante regulero y este pues igual.
-
Nov 5, 2019Mind blowing masterpiece. The story, the combats, the narrative, the musics, the technique. Graphically imperfect, but I am in love so... 10
-
Dec 3, 2019Very simple fought system and empty open world is a main disadvantages of this game. But...
But, great music, serious adult plot and cool graphic style make this game one of most atmosphered game ever.
Honestly, I like this game. -

Jun 24, 2020Normally I would put a pros and cons in my review but honestly I loved everything about this game so I am only going to list my one singular con.
Con:I absolutely hate the map in the game. This game is set in the far flung future and even now we have better mapping technology than they tried to put in this game. For the love of all that is holy fix the mapping functionality in the next game. -
Feb 1, 2020I love this game,is the best game i have played,this is experience is so goood,this game is my favorite
-
Feb 21, 2021Un juegazo muy original con gran historia, jugabilidad y la mejor banda sonora de la generacion. Las misiones secundarias y los graficos flojean un poco, pero por lo demas es un gran juego
-
Apr 20, 2020One of the best games you can play on the PS4:
Gameplay 8/10
Story 10/10
Graphics 9/10
OST 9/10 -
May 3, 2021Trés grande surprise que ce Nier Automata ,je ne l'ai pas vu venir. Les Japonais font des jeux venus d'ailleurs également.
-
Apr 17, 2020One of the most brilliant games of this generation. Great story, amazing combat system and superb soundtrack. Can't wait for the next game by Yoko Taro.
-
Jun 21, 2020Fantastic story, fun engaging gameplay and a beautiful world, some bad side quests that are optional. Unique game that will stick with you!
-
Jun 23, 2020Excelente juego con una trama atrapante y un sistema de combate que no te aburre en ningún momento, debes jugarlo mínimo unas 3 veces para apreciar todo lo que tiene, solo no se lleva el 10 por los problemas técnicos que tiene en su port a pc y por que no dudo mas!!!
-
Jul 14, 2020a very good and surprise game

Sep 20, 2020Gehört absolut zu meinen Favoriten. Ich liebe dieses Spiel..die Story finde ich mega genial und hab es 3 mal durchgezockt und die verschiedenen enden zu sehen. Viele beschweren sich weger der Grafik was ich sinnlos finde, da die Geschichte und das gameplay alles wett macht.
-
Apr 10, 2021It’s a masterpiece, on the JRPG genre no one is better than this game. An unique experience, a pure pleasure to play. It’s definitely one of the best games of all times in a handful.
-
Jul 23, 2020Great gameplay, combat system is fantastic, wonderful story, incredible soundtrack. A must play for sure, should rank higher on the best PS4 games list. Another game that will leave a sense of emptiness once completed - you will miss the characters, the music... Wont be easy to find something else to fill this void.

Feb 21, 2021NieR Automata her yönüyle çok başarılı bir oyun. Gerek kombat mekanikleri, gerek hikayesi, gerek müzikleri, gerek sanat tasarımı. Her yerinden başyapıt olduğunu hissettiriyor. Oyun oynamayı seven herkesin mutlaka ve mutlaka oynaması gerekiyor.

-
Sep 1, 2020This game is absolutely insane. The all in all package is even more great. I can’t write a full review without going into too much detail and wasting everyone’s time. All I can say is, I can’t recommend this game enough.

Mar 5, 2021Awesome! Beat it 3 times to get the full story! 2nd time is from a diff perspective and 3rd is new content!
-
May 28, 2021Wow! I am blown away by this game.. It's epic story, music and characters reminds me of the glory days of Final Fantasy but it is also backed up fast, fun and engaging fighting that never gets boring. I did not expect this game to be as creative, magical and just so damn good.. But it really is! 10/10
-
Sep 12, 2021Definitely a truly interesting game.
Even if isn't technically perfect, I see true potential.
Especially in the gameplay and the plot -
Oct 2, 2021this game provides a new open world game experience, combat against bosses is very good and also with music being served against bosses it becomes very epic, and the graphics in this game are very good
-
Dec 5, 2021A game greater than the sum of its parts, the longer you play the better it gets.
-
Mar 16, 2022I absolutely love NIER: AUTOMATA. It's gameplay is replayable and satisfying, there's a lot of side content. Only bad thing I can think of is that the story is essentially a carbon copy of the original Nier.
-
Jul 18, 2022Simply put, it’s great. Very fun with an unique and great story + great visuals. Highly recommend!
-
Jun 11, 2022One of the best games i have ever played. After achieving all endings, i couldn't pick up another game for weeks.
-
Jul 27, 2022Deeply affecting story, world building and musical score…. however the gameplay can get a little stale.

Apr 3, 2019Nier: Automata is a really compelling piece of science fiction. It builds on the thematic foundation of sentient robots and takes into a bold and heart-wrenching direction. The emotionally rich saga is further bolstered by an intensely memorable soundtrack that add so much flavor and extra dimension to the multiform narrative.
-
Apr 2, 2019If you've never played NieR: Automata, this package is the perfect way to experience this bizarre and haunting masterpiece.

Mar 19, 2019NieR Automata: Game of the YoRHa Edition was my first foray into the NieR series and I personally loved it. I know some people soured on having to basically replay the same game again just to get to the third run that opened up more of the story, but the first two routes don’t take incredibly long to play through if you don’t do any side missions. Then again doing the side missions just made the game more fun for me and I kept forgetting that I needed to finish the main story to write this review. If you’re into hack-and-slash RPGs and don’t mind having to play through the game three times to experience the full story, give this game a shot.
