NieR Automata (PS4) - Platinum Games - Demo on PSN

So I just got round to starting this finally, only played an hour (did the first mission beating the Goliath and stopped playing when I got back to the base)

It’s pretty cool, I like the way it changes up the gameplay as you are going through. Bit confused as to what is going on and what I am supposed to be doing with these plug in chips and pods (the plug in chips seem to be related to the HUD?)

Little bit further into this now (does finished the desert section) and I’m getting into this more now. Had a play about with the plug in chips, fusing some together and buying some extra space.

How does the endings thing work then? This being my first play through I assume it will give me ending A first?

I'm very late to this one as I'd not given the game much of a look previously, but I just completed it last night and thought it was brilliant.

The combat is fun enough, although perhaps a little basic as it seems you can get past most encounters spamming the attack and dodge buttons. The switching camera perspectives are very cool though and help to mix it up, along with the shooting sections.

The story is where it shines through, with both androids and machines striving to be more human and discover their own purpose in life. The music is also phenomenonl, nearly every track is fantastic and I'll be keeping my eye out to get a physical copy of the soundtrack.

You also get a very interesting choice at the end of the credits which I thought was a really inventive way to drive home some of the themes of the game with real consequences for you as a player.

A late challenger to my top 10 of the PS4 generation.

By finish I take it you mean beat it twice?

I got endings A-E so five times I guess.

Super late to this party but this is great! Only done ending A but keen for more. Started next run and it is already pleasingly, surprisingly different.

Switch version is 30fps and I'm sure feels a bit sticky compared to the other versions (and visuals often have strong PS3 energy) but I'm still quite impressed at how stable it's been when lots is kicking off.

Also the Pascal's village theme is a beaut
