NieR: Automata

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.

After playing Persona 5, I was looking for another JRPG that would deliver such an amazing experience, so I decided to play NieR: Automata. First of all, the story of this game is divided to 3 Routes. Route A is only the first half of the story, Route B is the same plot from different prespective but it's a bit deeper and it has additional gameplay mechanics, and Route CD is the second half of the story. The first 2 Routes are great, but story-wise they're incomplete, however, Route CD is were NieR: Automata's magnificent narrative potential truly shines! Thanks to NieR: Automata's absolute masterclass of a game design, the story is unparalleled! It blew my mind and it exceeded my expectations countless times! Overall, NieR: Automata's narrative is quite possibly the best I've witnessed in any videogame. The gameplay is awesome too! It plays mainly like a 3D Hack 'n' Slash but there are Shoot em Up, 2D and Bullet Hell sequences as well. That's straight up impressive. The hacking mechanics make the gameplay a bit boring at times though. The characters - especially the main characters - are very engaging and well-developed. The music is absolutely phenomenal! It's one of the best parts of the game! Lastly, the bosses are decent, the audio design is great and the animations are gorgeous. NieR: Automata isn't flawless though; the visuals are slightly outdated and the side-quests are mostly dull.

Pros: + Best narrative ever + Amazing gameplay + Engaging characters + Incredible music + Masterclass game design

Cons:

• The visuals are a little bit outdated
• Weak side-quests

Narrative: 10/10 Gameplay: 9/10 Content: 7/10 Characters: 8/10 Music: 10/10 Graphics/Audio: 8/10

Final Rating: 10/10

• Masterpiece -

NieR: Automata - while not flawless - is a videogame that is able to showcase the power of the medium, it's the perfect example of a masterpiece, it's one of the most important videogames I've ever played and it's undoubtedly one of my favorite videogames of all time.

Do I recommend it?: Everyone should play this game! NieR: Automata is a must-play, period.

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.

One of the best games you'd stumble upon in this genre, It definitely deserves a game of the year award, Music is a heavenly masterpiece, Story is astonishing, Gameplay itself is on another level, One of the best games ever directed by Yoko Taro, Everything inside is synced up perfectly together which makes it a true masterpiece, I'm running out of words to describe this beauty of a game, Seriously one of the best stories ever made.

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.
