About this game

NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines.

Pros & Cons

Pros

2B, 9S, and A2 form memorable central relationships.
Soundtrack pairs with a consistently melancholic atmosphere.
Fast combat combines melee attacks with ranged pod fire.
Campaign shifts between action combat, shooting, and bullet-hell sequences.

Cons

Routes revisit areas and require repeated backtracking.
Full story is distributed across fragmented routes and endings.
Side quests range from character context to errands and travel.
Combat has limited enemy variety and encounter design.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
