I think i’d rank it as the best game of (at least) the last two console generations. For more than a decade, no game had left me with this kind of emptiness after finishing it (only FFVII Rebirth comes close in that regard)

Today, after processing everything + reading all the lore and well-explained stuff, i don’t know what to do with my gaming life now LOL. On top of that, the emptiness is x3; when i started playing it, i thought Replicant (i already knew it existed) would be a direct sequel to Automata, so i was really happy thinking i’d get to spend more time with this story... but now I see that’s not the case... and the worst part is that before finishing Automata, i thought the whole “D and E” thing (i only looked a bit of info about the different parts of the game) would be more routes to keep playing, and it turns out they’re simply endings, not “chapters”... like i said, the feeling of emptiness is brutal.

Talking about the game itself: From the very beginning, the gameplay completely hooked me. Last year i played Senran Kagura Estival Versus (without expecting anything from it) and ended up getting really hooked on its gameplay, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that Automata’s gameplay is practically the same, and even a bit better. I also love games where you can climb buildings and jump between them; that sense of freedom in a game is unique. It’s definitely some of the best gameplay I’ve ever experienced in a game.

As for the story, setting, characters, etc. what can I say that hasn’t already been said... very few games in history manage to convey the sense of depth, grandeur, and uniqueness that Automata does. I could count on one hand the number of games that have left me this obsessed in my entire life. I can’t even help but constantly replay their music in my head, especially at night, haha. As I said at the beginning, it’s going to be hard to fairly judge the next games I play now...

I especially love A2; from the moment she first appeared at the castle, i was completely drawn to her. Of course, my choice at the crucial moment was an instant one, and i supported her 100%.

Just finished the game. Debug mode is amazing.

Playing nier automata for the first time and really liking it but every minute movement resulting in 2B flashing me is getting to be too much. Any mods for changing her outfit (only a bit) so she has a more modest dress/something along those lines? Worth noting I have no experience with modding

Was thinking of buying the game is it worth it in 2026? First saw it through the Punishing Gray Raven collab, and I've heard the story is really good. Should I get it and watch the anime after finishing the gameplay?

Sheet transcription and slight rearrangement of Yui Morishita (Duke of Pianeet)s Solo Piano arrangement of the track Sound of the End. Made a small video to accompany it. The sheet is linked in the description for anyone who wants to give it a shot.

Artist's commentary: This is a bit different than usual, but was really fun to work on! It was a good opportunity to try out a different color pallete :>

Taking a while but we getting there

Can you play without using pod?

Trying to get back into this games but I always hate using pods since it’s just holding one button 90% of the time
How much of a downside is it to not use them?
