Nier Automata shows that "AAA" games can be made inexpensively

Its got a lot of promise, and the story is interesting (even though its really creepy in some areas). But I didn't particularly enjoy playing it - the boss fights were more annoying than fun, and quite repetitive, and the 2D stuff in particular wasn't great. The quest system was really hard to use and just plain bad, I had no idea where anything was. I was hoping that getting more endings would make me like it more but when I realised you have to play through the game again I thought "fudge this" and put it down.

Its kind of a 6 or 7/10 for me.
Wait you only reached the first ending?

Spoiler for Hidden:
The second playthrough definitely is repetitive but it&#39;s less repetitive than I was expecting. Most side quests carried their progression over and you really only had to repeat the main quests.<br><br>Then once you finish the second playthrough, it switches over to a new campaign taking place after the first two playthroughs.


I guess I play games differently than you because I liked the quest system. It had a poor menu but on the map it was very intuitive and allowed me to quickly jump around to get stuff done. Only had issues with it at the very beginning since there wasn't any explanation.

8.5/10 for me but I can totally understand rating it lower.
