I played this game because of the story, not the gameplay. I enjoyed the gameplay, but it wasn't challenging and felt repetitive. The story, characters, and world-building are all excellent, but the gameplay could be better. I liked that there were multiple endings because you could see the story from different perspectives. The game deals with philosophical themes like existential nihilism because the machines and androids try to find meaning in their existence by imitating humans. This all goes wrong, and the game even asks you if there's a reason to exist. Another theme it tackles is what it means to be human without even featuring a single human. The story leaves more questions than answers, and that's why I love it. It's raw and honest, showing the most intense and painful emotions.
A compelling story of existentialism and identity, blended with breathtaking visuals and music. Its unique characters and thought-provoking themes make it unforgettable. Expect a deeply philosophical journey that challenges the norms of traditional game narratives.
I really enjoyed the story and the themes, and all the twists and turns. But I never really clicked with the gameplay. It's not all that difficult and it doesn't demand all that much from you. Maybe there's a harder mode I missed.
If not for the sex appeal I wouldn't have gotten to the real meat of the story, which I'm glad I did.
One of the best soundtracks in a game, that's for sure.

BORIGN 9S IS THE BEST
i cried at just about every single ending this game had and i'm not joking. the game itself is absolutely beautiful and it annoys me to no end that 2b will forever be majorly known for the porn she starred in over the actual game she is from. the story of automata is amazing and beautifully critiques mankind and the world, and blurs the lines between love, sex, and hate between 2b and 9s. this game pulled at my heartstrings and i can't stress enough how much it deserves the hype it got. the only reason it's a 4 and not a 5 is because of the abundant amount of side quests that i feel are crucial to the main story and it's really disappointing how easily someone can miss quests like gathering keepsakes. the map (as in the birds eye map you can view) is terribly designed even though i get what they were going for. the contents of the map exploration wise is also nothing special despite the environments being absolutely beautiful. you couldn't really interact with the world at all.
Trauma
This review contains spoilers
I felt bad for the robot in the forest it just wanted to be human.
Terrorismo emocional del más alto nivel con cuestiones filosóficas tremendamente profundas para dejarte sin dormir por la noche y personajes que ciertamente querrás ver por su buenísima "Trama". Una de las mejores bandas sonoras de la historia de los videojuegos. Mis amigos me van a mandar a tomar por culo porque no me callo con el pto juego imaginate si es bueno
Esto no es un juego, es una experiencia vital única

Absolute masterpiece of a story/overall writing with a nier unmatched soundtrack. Also 2B is really attractive which is a nice bonus.
Im bad with reviews so all i'll say is this game is amazing. play it now
what is with japan and horny virgin games
Nier Automata is an incredible story that gains more out of each ending that the player pursues. DO NOT BE CONTENT WITH JUST THE A ENDING.
No se si lo voy a agarrar mas tarde, sinceramente. Es la tercera vez que lo arranco y no lo termino, esta vez llegue mas lejos. El gameplay no me gusta lo suficiente y la historia, por más que digan que se ponga piola, no termina de agarrarme. Me gusta la idea de tener que pasar el juego varias veces, y hace cosas muy creativas y originales, pero no es suficiente para engancharme. Igual, queda ahí por si alguna vez pinta reintentarlo (de nuevo)
Nier Automata has done the classic JRPG trick yet again: a game that will really impress you on a first playthrough and who's ending will stick with you for like a week or two, but after half a year, you'll start to wonder what even made you like the game in the first place. Its kind of tricky to write a review like this because its been a while since I last played the game, so many of my criticisms are based off only hazy memories of what actually happened, but I feel that for my own sake, I at least should set the record straight on how I feel about the game until I play it next time.
My opinions on Automata may have changed, but to give some credit, one thing that for sure hasn't is how visually and audibly beautiful this game is. The best parts of Automata are when you're simply walking around the world, absorbing and soaking in the quiet, desolate environments with the music playing when there's just a faint hint of a melody: it hits me perfectly. It evokes this weird bitter-sweet nostalgia and emptiness, as if there's something still beautiful here but knowing well its only going to be a short lived leftover of what used to be here, which is so perfectly fitting with this game's themes. Automata feels like a unique game during these moments, but that unique feeling is spat on and kicked to the side when you remember that this is meant to be a hack n' slash.
The best way I've seen Automata's combat be described is as "an action game for people who've never played an action game". It has the appearance of Bayonetta or [insert any other Platinum game here], but with absolutely ZERO sauce behind it, only attempting to tick boxes and be nothing more than serviceable slop that works as a distraction from its strong elements. There's the common defense in games like these that "its about da story doe!!", and I'd be cool with that if not for the fact that the game is insistent on wasting your time with the combat, so much so that some segments can go for longer than 20 minutes. It reeks of wasted potential, because I think Automata shouldn't have even been about combat at all. The combat to me feels like the game is afraid to take an artistic risk with making a more reserved kind of game, reflecting a problem in the entire industry where developers conflate entertainment with catharsis. Automata to me should've fully embraced its quiet moments in its gameplay instead of trying to portray itself as really badass.
Like the combat, the story itself also suffers from a lot of typical trends that I commonly see in videogames, but its weird because simultaneously, it feels much more competent than most videogames in general. I applaud that Automata is a game that bothered doing its philosophy homework and seems to have a strong understanding of existentialism, but when it came time to actually write a paper, it got nervous and kind of fumbled the bag. A usual problem I notice with video game writing more than any other medium is how many games seem to only get their stories going super late into the game, but Automata takes that to the next level, by being boring for two entire playthroughs, where nothing of substantial impact really even happens. Its also disappointing how its great ideas are used on overdramatic and tropey characters. I get that these are meant to be androids and not humans, but I barely felt any empathy for them. They go through painfully predictable arcs, none of them have interesting personalities besides screaming very dramatically when the story demands it, and never did I feel like I resonated with their motivations.
I heavily respect the work of Yoko Taro. He's a weird guy who makes weird games for weird niches and I'm glad he's found success. I may not like Nier that much anymore, but I see potential in his work. I just hope that in whatever he works on next, he can take some more creative risks.

something something something 2b is hot something something beautiful experience
Porque no puedo darle seis estrellas que sino. Me ha marcado mucho y lo considero firmemente una obra maestra sin apenas fallos, trasciende el tema de ser un videojuego y se vuelve una obra de arte. Yoko Taro t quiero mucho.
tbh it's been a long time since I played it but I remember it being insane and unlike anything else I've played. Probably due for a replay
i don't know if just say "this game is perfect in every way" or start a 2 hours writing session and explain all the reason that force me (a guy who have played a lot of games) to put automata as my fav game of all time.I think everybody should play it once in a life time,non gamers too can love it cause automata is much more than just a game it's a philosophical journey where the player will reflect about a lot of things and also will cry a lot expecially on the last parts,ride c will change the way you see the world trust me!
Played some time in 2020. Made me cry so many times!
É até engraçado, joguei esse junto de Baldurs gate, o escopo é totalmente diferente, aqui temos um universo mais minimalista, assim como sua trama, design de personagens, etc. Mas o mais interessante é que minha conexão com Nier foi maior que com muitos outros projetos grandiosos da indústria, você sente a intenção e a paixão do Yoko Taro o tempo todo, o esmero na criação da trilha, no design, no design geral do jogo, tudo aqui é muito intencional.
Dito isso, nota máxima pela 2b sem saia subindo uma escada infinita que o criador só colocou '' você sabe porque ''...Yoko Taro genio !

jogo incrivel faz com que eu tenha esperanças para o future de action jrpgs
Im not a pervert thank u
dificil vai ser achar um jogo de ação com uma direção e criatividade no nivel do automata
Para este juego hay 3 tipos de persona:
-Los que lo jugaron por la prota
-Los que no lo jugaron por la prota
-Los que lo jugaron sin saber o sin darle importancia a la prota. (Yo compré el juego por un video de juegos con mundo abierto)
Historia
A primeras horas es excesivamente lento, no entiendes nada sobre la historia y cabe resaltar que la historia precede de otra saga de juegos llamada Drakengard los cuales no se si se puedan considerar como juegos de nicho. La historia toma muchos simbolismos y temas filosóficos, lo que puede resultar en que llegue a ser pretensioso y aburrido para muchos. Algo que me pareció bastante bien que es que no se centra en un solo protagonista, en este juego puedes jugar con 3 personajes. La trama de la historia puede llegar a ser predecible y algo simple sin embargo lo que realmente sobresale es la forma en que todos los personajes se comportan y reaccionan a cada cosa que va pasando a lo largo del juego. Es un juego algo largo y te ofrece más de 20 finales aunque solo 5 son de la historia principal.
Jugabilidad
El combate en este juego se siente demasiado bueno, puedes jugar con un arsenal de armas muy variado y cada una con sus respectivos combos; cuentas con unos drones o pods con diferentes habilidades que te facilitan tus combates; puedes crear tu propia build según el enfoque que quieras darle a tu estilo de juego y algo que me gustó demasiado es que el juego te ayuda a configurar una build para ti si es que no sabes como hacerlo. Respecto al juego, este es un hack n slash donde mayormente estarás spameando ataques y combos en combate pero el juego no se limita a ese genero, hay ocasiones en el que puedes pelear en mechas y en las que puedes entrar en un minijuego de hackeos.
Mundo
El juego es de tipo "mundo abierto" y lo pongo entre comillas porque cuenta con muchas limitaciones y algo que a mi no me gustó tanto aunque tenga su justificación porque estamos en un mundo post apocalíptico, es que se siente demasiado vació, moverse en este juego es un infierno, cuentas con la posibilidad de usar viaje rápido entre unas maquinas que sirven como checkpoint o montar animales como jabalíes o alces, sin embargo sigue siendo un mundo demasiado amplio y distante entre zonas. Puedes explorar edificios y lugares abandonados pero muchos de estos no cuentan con nada que ofrecer, ni siquiera items para poder mejorar armas o chips a futuro. Es un mundo enorme, vació y desaprovechado en mi punto de vista.
Enemigos
En este juego solo brillan las boss fights ya que siento que es el apartado al que le dieron más enfoque, pelear contra maquinas enormes se siente demasiado bien, al igual que contra los villanos principales. Sin embargo, los enemigos que más te vas a topar por el mapa son robots los cuales no son para nada desafiantes a la hora de pelear y que en su mayoría solo cambian en cosas como pequeñas naves, escudos, hachas, sin brazos, sin piernas, entre otros. Es como si estuvieras jugando contra el mismo modelo siempre y eso que cambié la dificultad del juego a la más difícil.
Banda sonora
Para mi este juego cuenta con una de las mejores bandas sonoras, cada lugar cuenta con su tema y el tema te transmite muy bien la esencia de ese lugar ya sea un campamento de robots, una ciudad en ruinas, un parque de atracciones entre otros.
Conclusión
Terminar este juego fue difícil, tarda en engancharte la historia, y sientes que sus personajes no van evolucionando hasta el final. Un comentario muy frecuente de sus fans es "De seguro no llegaste al final C" y es que con eso te das cuenta de que tan tardado es el juego y que poco logra engancharte. Tardé más de 2 años en terminar al 100% este juego y es que cada que quería hacer algo me aburria el recorrido que tenía que hacer para llegar de un punto A a un punto B; farmear exp, items para mejorar pods, armas y chips fue sumamente aburrido y muchos de estos solo se consiguen rejugando secciones del juego.
El juego me conmovió no por su historia sino por sus personajes, si bien tengo muchos puntos negativos sobre el, me parece un buen juego ante todo, no es un simple juego de virgos jajaja. Para mi es un 3.5 por sus personajes, gameplay y banda sonora.

Left me speechless the whole way through. A masterpiece that has to be played to be believed.

Finished playing Nier Automata
Absolutely amazing game, had so much fun playing this. I really enjoyed the open world, it definitely was a lot better than Replicants imo, one of the best games I’ve played storywise. I loved the side quests (except the speed runner one), it was great to see all the connections between Replicant and Automata, the combat wasn’t the best but it wasn’t bad, felt quite repetitive. The soundtracks were great in this game, some of them gave me some good nostalgia. I just love the lore in this game.
9/10
