" ... One of my favorite games of the year in terms of story and tone. ... "
" ... What an excellent game. ... The musical score is absolutely amazing, and while action games aren’t Typically my preference, this one had more than enough action, story, and shiny stuff to keep me entertained for days. ... "
" ... A Must Play ... "
" ... The characters are complex in expressing emotions (I mean they're robots), the rpg-style gameplay is enticing and the story is exceptional. ... Since there are MANY endings to this game, it will keep you coming for more Game 10/10 ... "
" ... Lovely game, the music is my favorite aspect. ... "
" ... The gameplay is frenetic and tons of fun. ... "
" ... I was expecting a pretty/ fun game, but it is so much more than that. ... The hack-and-slash stuff gets a bit boring sometimes, and the gameplay is generally not particularly challenging, but the story is good enough to make up for that and then some. ... "
" ... I've played all kinds of square Enix games, so I decided to give this one a shot since I had the opportunity. ... The game play mechanics have 4 different styles. ... Players experience all 4 within the first 30 minutes of the game. ... Players spend most of their time in 3d action RPG. ... The graphics are really good. ... There are plenty of side quests and mini games that are actually worth your time. ... Combat is among the best I've seen. ... Plus this one has the other 3 game play mechanics to keep things interesting. ... It is possible to play this game all the way through without being hit once. ... Skill matters in this game. ... Anyway, this is one of my favorite games, ever. ... It ticks all the boxes for an action RPG and adds some things that help keep the game fun when other games in the genre would start to get tedious. ... "

" ... If it was a ‘softer’ moment, the music did a great job of reflecting that as well. ... "

" ... So far it's my game of the year. ... "
" ... A gamer of over 30 years. ... "
" ... I say if you're remotely interested in the game now is the time to get it before they stop releasing new copies and all you have left are the scummy scalpers who will try and sell the game for a ridiculous exuberant amount to fleece would be buyers. ... "
" ... I played the original Nier back on the Xbox 360 many years ago and was impressed with it. ... "
" ... I think this is one of the best and well made RPGs of this year. ... "
" ... I was a WOW player for many years, couldn't find anything I liked then along came Destiny, which I still play and love, cant wait for D2. ... "
" ... "Nier:Automata" is easily a game of the year contender! ... "
" ... And this is all despite the fact that it was only 2 years ago when it was announced that a sequel for NieR would be in the making, and despite the fact that the budget for the title isn't considered high enough to be called a AAA game itself by a majority of the gaming community's standards (though many, including myself, still consider it a AAA game just because of how the content itself ALL fits the criteria of being one outside of the logistics). ...

" ... Each swing of my chosen weapon (a spear) felt smooth and realistic. ... "
" ... There's always a big change to the gameplay that's given to you that keeps things feeling fresh pair that with when you do have to retread old ground it won't make you redo any sidequest you finished and will also add new ones for you to complete. ... "
" ... The main character's shape does make it worth the purchase. ... "
