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.
