I love this game to death. But UI and menu control is fundamentally terrible and makes it so difficult to just load into a game and set your loadout. Unless crytek takes a step back and decides to change their philosophy on UI design I cant in good faith leave a positive review.

It may be brutal
It may be have performance issues
But it's a full game disguised as an expansion and from soft has easily earned their pedigree as one of the best developers out there. Between this expansion and the return of armored core, I cant wait to donate my firstborn to the alter of miyazaki for bloodborne on pc

We are so back.

Eat ♥♥♥♥ Sony you greedy corporate scum. Thank you valve for easing your refund policy so that people could properly speak with their money because that's the only things Sony ever listens to

dying game lol

This is a game that starts very rough for new players, and improving feels fantastic in this game. Solid physics, beautiful graphics and orgasmic sound design.

A game that is brilliantly designed on so many different levels. Its environment and soundtrack create a serene shell for an otherwise tense and engaging game. Its sandbox and systems make you actually think and consider what options you will take when trying to complete a certain objective, and what drastic measures you will take without dooming yourself the next reset. Definitely a good game to recommend for people who like a challenging game.

Yes.

Is good

Still one of the best FPS RPGS in recent years.

Nier Automata is a game I wont forget for a long time. The soundtrack is a perfect blend of intense action instrumentals that coincide perfectly with tones and lyrics that give life to the moment (my personal favorite being the amusement park boss). The charectors each have a distictive design despite the fact that much of the philosophical themes revolve around their existence as nothing more than andriods meant to fight against alien machines. Not only that, but the dialogue is full of subtle (though sometimes not so subtle) meaning that also gives personality and development to the charectors. Above all else, the chip system combined with a plethora of weapons adds replayability to a game worth playing twice!

I also will leave you with 2 major suggestions for making your expierience much more enjoyable (or at least less of a hastle)

1. This game is HORRIBLY optomized for pc hardware (f***ing platnium games), and you WILL face resolution issues, no mattter your hardware. The solution: Download the Fix Automata Resolution (FAR for short) mod on github, and be sure to find any guides that tell you how to properly utilize it.

2. This game is best played on controller. Dont get me wrong, you can *play* this game on keyboard, but even with the option to change control layouts, it is still a complete nightmare (take it from a guy who completed 2b's entire story with Mouse and keyboard). My love for this game (and dark souls) is why I went with the controller in the first place, and frankly, i dont regret my decision.
