There is no doubt that Nier Automata is a great game, but the PC version does not do it justice. A new case of shameless port for PC.
I wasn't particularly hyped for NieR: Automata before its release but as soon as I started playing, I was hooked. The stellar storytelling, the rich plot, the varied gameplay, the challenging enemies that forced me to change my tactics again and again, all contributed to an enjoyable experience. The game isn't without it's flaws however, as it suffered...
A beautiful, melancholy action RPG that’s effortlessly stylish and utterly unpredictable.
It's rare to see such ambitious storytelling and open world roleplaying tied to such a stylish combat system, not to mention the (optional) Souls-like multiplayer elements, shooter tangents, mini-games that punctuate rather than interrupting, and that big ol' world to explore. You don't need to have played any of Yoko Taro's previous games to appreciate...
It's testament to Taro's talent for storytelling that the game inspires replay as much through its narrative hooks as its baser promise of trophies and a 100% competition record.
