This game relies heavily on surprising the player and breaking traditional expectations. For someone coming from a more traditional background of game experience I can imagine this game being wickedly enchanting in its innovation. However, even as a player who has seen a fair amount of genre parody and art-focused games this game allowed me to experience a style of game I don't normally enjoy.

I would recommend NieR: Automata to fans of real-time combat JRPGs and experienced gamers who are willing to spend some time with monotonous gameplay for sparse, but incredible moments.
