NieR: Automata review thread

I think releasing alongside AAAA games might have actually been a good idea. No one else wanted to compete with HoriZelda, and no else is getting the under the radar buzz that NieR is getting.
And, most importantly, NieR is releasing on PC while the other two are exclusives.

tl;dr
Is there an NDA at all for reviews? What's stopping more people from posting theirs?

Yup surely a year of dreams indeed.
Nier and Nier Automata are both technically 'open world'
This is not your typical linear platinum game with bad storytelling and a focus on QTE's and cinematic setpieces. As a sacrifice, it does not have the combat variety of previous high end platinum titles either but considering it was never intended to have that, the impact isn't big.

I"m shaking. Wow.
And we're just getting started!
I know it feels like it's going to get buried under the heavy hitters, but I'm still hoping Nier Automata sells well. The Japanese reception is off to a great start. It definitely deserves more recognition than being a casualty of releasing after Horizon and Zelda, and before Mass Effect.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
NieR 1 is kinda like FFXII. Open world but it has transitions.
NieR Automata on the other hand is transitionless.
Seriously. What is going on with 2017? It's just one hit after another.

Since June 2016 we've been getting lots of good games (well for me since I love JRPGs).
I'm guessing next year will be dry as hell, heh.
At this rate, I'm going to be playing my 2017 backlog well into 2018 haha.

Can we just appreciate that - for however long it lasts - this was a legitimate thing that happened?

oh GAF...
I'll remember this sweet little moment before the other reviews come in.

Yoko Taro is doing the same </3
it won't last, but - as someone who's almost done with the game - I think it definitely deserves those scores, if not higher ones.
they went as far as telling the player to keep playing after the first ending because there is a lot more to be seen, so one can hope that this game won't get joke reviews from people who barely played it once like Nier did.

The game is going to be swallow by Zelda and Horizon, isnt it?

Yeah, it's a bummer and I can't blame anyone as they both seem amazing. But I have awful taste in games and don't plan on buying either of those two, so bring on Nier

He says the metacritic score will probably go down tomorrow. Is that when the embargo lifts?

It's doing well on Amazon Best sellers before the eventual reviews bump. I think the demo helped the game a lot. Most games who had a well received demo before release has done well.

Not in my house. I actually was planning in getting Horizon day 1, but then i played the Nier Automata demo and my priorities changed. And with Persona 5 coming next. Horizon will have to wait.The game is going to be swallow by Zelda and Horizon, isnt it?

I'm not touching Zelda until Nier is platinum'd.
Yeah, I'm thinking it will score like Gravity Rush 2.
At least Nier is really nothing like Zelda or Horizon, so good reviews should help keep it afloat or slightly drowning amidst the tsunami of great titles (wonder how much BoTW sales will go up from its critical acclaim?).
I really hope this one sells well enough for both Yoko Taro and Platinum.
Also Yoko Taro's tweet is hilarious.

I think we should point out as well that he also says it's better to save screenshots to have proof this happened xD

There's nothing I want more right now then it to stay above 80 but I honestly don't expect it. If Nier Automata is just as weird as Nier like what I've been hearing, a lot of reviewers are going to be put off by those bizzare story and design decisions.
you forgot Dreams
