    probably one of the best games that i've ever played. great story and probably one of best soundtracks ever made. different endings require you to play multiple times to see everything. if you haven't purchased this when it first game out, this is the definitive version as it comes with all the DLC. highly recommended!

    What can I say? Congrats to Yoko Taro and Platinum Games on creating this masterpiece. The story is one of the best in gaming thanks to Yoko Taro and PG once again created a game with amazing gameplay. This is why NieR: Automata is one of the best games of the PS4 generation.

    Ended up being one of the most memorable games I've ever played. The story and characters development keeps you interested in what's going on and the gameplay is very fun. I love how diverse and seamless it switches between them keeping everything fresh

    If you love action combat games with AMAZING music then this game is a no brainer! Pick it up ASAP! Gameplay is fast, smooth, and most importantly FUN. The music is like someone massaging your earlobes and has so many unforgettable tracks.

    This was my first foray into a Nier game, but it wasn't for me. The visuals, gameplay, music, and environment were beautifully created, but I just couldn't immerse myself into the story. I think I got halfway through (just a guess) until I moved on to the next game. Game quality is top notch for PS4, but I think it's made for a particular gamer. I would recommend this game because I think it's fun to try it, but, if you were my friend, I'd let you borrow it.

    This game is not for the casual or faint of heart.Deleriously fast action and over-the-top boss fights intertwined into a complex story littered with philosophical ideas and reprehensive views on humanity and life as a whole. This game can be exciting, confusing, fulfilling, and frustrating all at the same time

    I’ve enjoyed the fighting style of this game as well as the story. It’s a hit in the living room with my son and girlfriend enjoying the gameplay. I pass the controller around and everyone likes to get a few licks in on the robot boss fights really fun.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I'm not typically into jrpg games, but Nier's story, combat, and variety had me hooked almost immediately. My only compliant is that I wished it was longer but there is a lot of collectibles here.

    This is the best of the NieR series and the YoRHa Edition add so much more content which is justifiable at full price but I got this for $15 which is no brainer and I would recommend to everyone who likes action games.

    This game is pretty good so far. The game has that feel like the original Nier in the game series. The action and battles are fun and make this the best thing about the game. If you love a good story and a lot of action, then this game is perfect for you.

    Easily one of the best JRPGs released in the last ten years. The combat is well-balanced and fast-paced, but the real draw is the incredible story, which is told in a truly innovative and thought-provoking way.

    This game has some of the best action, mechanics and boss fights there is. The soundtrack is one of the best and probably in my top 3. Everything is just so well put together that it was a surprise sleeper hit. I WANT MORE NIER!

    Had been wanting this game for a while and finally got it. Definitely glad I did. The game is fun and the story is very unique. It's just a basic action game where you pretty much fight robots. The camera shifts between normal rotatable third person and a fixed further away third person, so that may throw some people. I still enjoy it though. Excited for the new one to come out.

    This game is fantastic. The music, story, etc is all great. However the game completely went haywire and and got frozen. I lost a lot of progress. That took away my desire to continue playing. Great game though

    Another masterpiece from Platinum Games. The combat is fast-paced, fluid, and fun to play. The narrative is very intruiging. Best of all, the music is absolutely beautiful. Can't recommend this game enough.

    Great game. Loved the story, the music, the art direction, and the gameplay variety. Replaying the main mission more than twice gets a bit repetitive but overall still great.
