About the 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.

Humanity has been driven from the Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a final effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now, a war between machines and androids rages on... A war that could soon unveil a long-forgotten truth of the world.

Key Features:
  • Action-Packed Battles – Players will switch between using melee and ranged attacks in battle against hordes of enemies and challenging bosses across a variety of open field maps. The tight controls and incredibly fluid combat are simple to learn for newcomers while offering plenty of depth for more experienced action gamers. Players can perform high-speed battle actions—combining light and heavy attacks—and switch through an arsenal of weaponry while evading enemies with speed and style.
  • Beautifully Desolate Open-World – The game seamlessly joins together hauntingly beautiful vistas and locations with no area loading. The environments are rendered in 60fps and contain a wealth of sub-events in addition to the main storyline.
  • Masterfully Crafted Story and Characters – NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their ferocious battle to reclaim a machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful weapons known as machine lifeforms.
  • Elements of an RPG – Players will obtain a variety of weapon types, level up in battle, learn new combat skills, and customise a loadout that caters to their playstyle.
  • Utilise the Pod Support System to Assist In and Outside of Battle – Pods can attack the enemy in both manual and lock-on modes. They can also assist outside of battle, such as allowing the player to glide through the air. Pods can be enhanced throughout the game, with upgrades including new attack methods and variations.
  • “Auto Mode” Available for Beginners – Novice players can elect “Auto Mode” for easy attacks and evasions.

To all of my fellow players who have yet to reach the ending, and to the one person in the world whom my data will aid in their final struggle—rest assured, you will see this through. You were never alone, and you have the combined efforts of all those who came before you to support you. You can do it.

I cant believe I played this game 8 years after it came out, I missed out and it made my cry like a baby. One of the best games ever made along with the best ending of any game, 10/10. NieR Replicant is next for me.

SPOILERLESS REVIEW "A Game That Stays With You Long After It Ends" What I Loved: What I love about NieR: Automata is how it caught me completely off guard. I expected a good action game, but what I got was something way deeper—moments that made me smile, moments that hit hard, and a story that stuck in my head for days. It’s one of those rare games where even the quiet parts feel important, and by the end, you realize it’s left a bigger mark on you than you thought it would. The World: A hauntingly beautiful post-apocalyptic landscape that mixes decaying cities, sprawling deserts, lush forests, and eerie ruins. It’s not just a backdrop—it feels alive in its own quiet, desolate way, with subtle details that make exploration rewarding. The Side Quests: Some are lighthearted, some are oddly touching, and a few will make you unexpectedly emotional. They add depth to the world and its inhabitants rather than feeling like simple filler. The Combat: Fast, fluid, and stylish. Th...

Nier: Automata is an extraordinary action RPG developed by Yoko Taro. It combines fast-paced combat, a deep narrative, and a unique blend of genres to create an unforgettable experience with stunning soundtrack by Keiichi Okabe. The game explores profound philosophical questions about humanity, free will, and existence through the eyes of androids 2B, 9S, and A2. The narrative is emotional, thought-provoking, and filled with unexpected twists. The game requires multiple playthroughs to fully grasp the story, with each route offering new perspectives and gameplay variations. Nier Automata is a masterpiece that excels in storytelling, gameplay, and atmosphere. Despite some PC port issues (which can be fixed with mods), it remains a must-play for fans of action RPGs and narrative-driven games.

It felt truly immersive while playing, because almost everything on screen connects back to the narrative — even things like the HUD, health bar, and save system. The character selection is definitely a nice touch. Playing through different perspectives keeps the story fresh and makes the combat feel varied. It’s especially noticeable as you progress into Route B, which reuses sections but with a new character’s...
