ending e and nier automata as a whole is seriously so life changing to me. although it has its flaws, it has some of the highest highs in any game ever. if you suffer from some sort of nihilistic existential dread (or not) i cant recommend this game enough p.s at the very end make sure to pay it forward,,
PROS + Beautiful and distinctive visual design. + Fast, satisfying combat with plenty of customization. + Incredible soundtrack and voice acting. + Emotional story with memorable characters. + Great use of different perspectives and playthroughs. + Deep and thought-provoking story that keeps revealing new layers. + Strong themes of identity, loss, humanity, and existence. + Excellent balance between mystery and philosophical storytelling. CONS - Open world can feel quite empty. - Many side quests boil down to fetch quests. - Some story sections have to be replayed, which can feel tiring. VERDICT NieR:Automata starts as a stylish and satisfying action RPG, but its biggest strength lies in how much depth it gradually reveals beneath its surface. The combat is fast and enjoyable, while the incredible soundtrack and voice acting make the experience even more memorable. However, the story is where the game truly shines. The further you play, the more you realize that its characters, world, and conflicts aren't as simple as they initially seem. Different perspectives and playthroughs continuously add new context, changing the way you understand what you've experienced before. What makes the story especially memorable is how naturally it explores themes of identity, loss, humanity, and existence. It doesn't simply present these ideas as something to think about, it uses the game's structure and interactivity to make them feel more personal. Even after finishing the game, some of its themes and questions can linger in your mind. It's a deeply memorable action RPG with an ambitious story, strong atmosphere, and themes that give the entire experience a meaning far beyond its combat and exploration. 5/5
NieR: Automata leaves scars. It is a rare masterpiece that uses video game mechanics to break your heart, only to piece it back together through its music. As the final chords of 'Weight of the World' fade out, you realize: it was painful, it was devastating, but it was absolutely beautiful...
