Nier: Automata is a unique game
I call Nier: Automata "unique" not because it's just a fun gorgeous action RPG , but because Nier at it's multi-layered core is a chameleon of game mechanics. If Ghost in a Shell, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy and Robotech had a baby it would be Nier Automata. I will say this game isn't for everyone. If you are not a fan of games like Bayonetta, Devil May Cry or Metal Gear: Rising you probably wont enjoy Nier as much as I do. However, if you did enjoy the games I previously mentioned and you also like anime style hack and slash games with an intriguing (yet slightly weird) narrative, you should pick-up Nier as soon as you can. B-2 will not disappoint.

Truly unique experience.
This game is definitely not perfect, but it's bright spots outshine every issue I've had with the game. The combat is fun and fluid. The gameplay loop is really addictive, and it's chip system is a clever and fun way to change gameplay. But the main thing that pulled me in was the story. This is a game about humanity, but there's not a single human in the game. One of the most slickly told stories I've seen, and it couldn't be told in any other medium. Highly recommended for any action RPG fans!

Fun action, story-driven game
Gameplay is what you'd expect from a Platinum game, but I had trouble finding the right difficulty. Normal was too easy, but in hard I was dying in 2 hits. Combat is simple but fun. I enjoyed customizing my chip sets (passive skills and abilities) for different playstyles and situations. The story is a wild ride set in a melancholy world. I grew attached to the characters right out of the gate. The open world isn't too large, and side quests are generally fun to complete--nothing feels like a chore. Absolutely beautiful soundtrack. I could listen to it for hours.
