NieR: Automata

As a software developer in the Computer Age, a hack and slash RPG about fighting for mankind against machines was an easy sell to me.

You should play this game if you: Enjoy an amazing story. The playable and supporting characters are well developed and follow incredible arcs. Enjoy philosophy. I personally think reading a philosophy book is a waste of time. Luckily, you don't have to suffer through any dry book here. You will play through and experience several major philosophical themes throughout the game. If there exists a more philosophical game, please let me know!

Keep it sweet and short - Nier Automata has THE most beautiful music, gameplay, and is so so replayable. It is a masterpiece -- for me up there with Zelda, Okami and the Final Fantasy series. GENIUS and please please do invest in it. You will be rewarded again and again - and the emotional impact.... it made me cry twice.

I love this game so very much! Gameplay, characters and plot, all are 10/10. One of the best games ever. Modern masterpiece. 10/10.

Seriously is one of the best games I ever played, and amazing story, amazing music composed by keichi okabe, and incredible gameplay and more deep in mechanics, and the story is one of the most incredible ones in the history of gaming

I love Yoko Taro.

The things that this game does have never been done before in a game or, at least, not like this.

In an industry where being by the book is rewarded, NieR manages to be so unapologetically itself that you can't help but fall in love with how unique. It's not just the story, the soundtrack, the gameplay, the art direction - it's everything.

NieR: Automata is one of the most important games of the decade, and that's on period.
