NieR: Automata (2017 Video Game)
7/10
Honestly it is overrated
20 May 2022
This game is fun when you play as 2B, but once you play as 9S it quickly goes downhill since his fighting style is very boring and there is way way too many boring hacking mini-games. You then end by playing as A2 and she is similar to 2B but you kinda do pointless fetch quests for most of her playthrough until the last half when all sorts of crazy things happen.

This game is really overrated I think, sure 2B is sexy and the music is nice, but the gameplay becomes old very fast and you don't learn anything new. All the attacks you do from the beginning will be the same stuff you do at the end. You fight against the same boring looking cute robot enemies, and the "open world" is very bland, boring, and empty. Yes it is a post-apocalyptic world but there should still be things to see and do. Also the graphics are pretty bad even on PC and you are stuck at 60FPC. Lastly the shooting segments are cool at first but they become old after the 4th time you play em because it all plays the same. You switch from side view to bird eye view, then to 3rd person view, then to side view, and finally back to bird's eye view.

The story is cool but also convoluted, badly paced, and the ending isn't really that good. ALSO LET US GET RID OF THE WHOLE "4 ENDINGS" BS! There is ONLY ONE ending. There are three chapters with cutscenes to bookend each chapters. They are not endings alright!

Anyways, "Weight of The World" is a great song, and "City in Ruins" gives me goosebumps, but this game is just too padded out and overrated. Go ahead and downvote this review but you can't hide from ze truth. It is a good game that is overrated and very flawed.
