Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with Nier: Automata's excellent gameplay, compelling story, and memorable music. Many also praised the game's action sequences and high replay value, though some found the difficulty and map design challenging. A few players noted issues with the camera and lack of an auto-save feature. Overall, the positive feedback on core gameplay elements outweighs the concerns regarding specific aspects of the game's design.

    Mark my words, this game will go down as one of the greats for 2017! Nier: Automata is a groundbreaking action-RPG game with story layers and gameplay that get better each time you finish the game. You heard me right - it will take multiple playthroughs to get the full story and each time you'll be experiencing new things. The 2nd playthrough is almost like the first, but from another perspective. 3rd playthrough on onwards though - COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Honestly, I haven't been this engrossed with a game outside the Souls series. The combat is excellent and nuanced. Weapons are great fun (and a huge number of them, btw), and I'd never thought I'd say this about any game - I love the hacking mini-games. So much fun. I REALLY hope they bring out a sequel to this game because I want to have more of this world. Now going to pick up the original Nier just to see if the story in that game is just as mind-bending. :)

    NieR: Automata continues the tradition of a Yoko Taro game, which means for those unfamiliar that the story is heavy with several big and emotional twists, full of excellent writing and deeply rich story. In the past a Yoko Taro game, such as Drakengard 1 and 3 or NieR, were often filled with heavy story elements, wonderful characters, but confusing or less-than-stellar gameplay. Partnered with Platinum Games, known for excellent hack-and-slash mechanics like seen in Bayonetta, or action-oriented games like Vanquish, NieR: Automata combines the heavy and deeply satisfying story with gameplay his stores deserve. Some graphical issues and framerate aside, the game is a marvel and a masterpiece with a fulfilling story most AAA titles fail on, and gameplay that is satisfying and fun to play. Whether a Yoko Taro fan or a newcomer to his wacky wonderful worlds, NieR: Automata is a game that can't be missed.

    this game is gorgeous, the music is amazing, the gameplay is extremely fun, and the story is interesting. It kind of reminded me of an easier Devil May Cry but so good. It pleasantly surprised me and I would recommend this game to anyone who likes games at all.

    Everything about this game is amazing. The story was amazing, this game probably has my favorite OST in any video game and visually it's also great. Definitely Platinum Games' best game. Would recommend it completely.

    one of the most overlooked games of 2017. If you're action games like Bayonetta and Rayden then this is it. The game play is frantic but not overwhelming. The sound track is also top tier. Consider this game if you want a fresh take on an action game.

    Nier is a great game that many have slept on. Try it out if you are looking for an open world single player experience. Great combat, crazy story, Nier has it all.

    Absolutely loved the game. Grade A graphics paired with an amazing story and great controls. Will have you on the edge of your seat with the 5 main endings and 21 other mini endings. Loved every second of meaning packed gameplay.

    Nier Automata is truly a great game. Great aesthetic, tight controls, high speed action, and though the story is completely odd and out of this world, it is general interesting, and I was always eager to see it through. Definite buy.
