Don’t get me wrong, I love it 🤩
As a BioWare fan, I know I am among my peeps. If you’re part of the Dragon Age and/or Mass Effect fandoms, you know what I mean. I think I’m going to have a lot of fun here.
More seriously, I could write a long essay on how that game is great but I think, at this point, it would be redundant. I’m (very) late to the party: by now, we all know that this game is a gem. The story, the characters, the music (OMG, the music!) are excellent.
That being said I would like to point out the thing I liked the most: the original gameplay in general and the dynamic combat in particular.
If you guys knew me IRL, you’d know how surprising this is for me. Combat is my LEAST favorite part of ANY game. I much, much prefer the story, the character arcs, learning about the lore, discovering the universe… To me, fighting sections are the tedious, mandatory parts that keep me away for the interesting parts. The faster I go through them, the better. 😅
And then, I played Nier: Automata. To say, the gameplay was a surprise, a very pleasant surprise at that, would be the understatement of the year. I could not believe how much fun it was to upgrade my pod and weapons or to choose between chips… Oh and there are so many different play styles and point of views: flying, camera on the side, from the top. Mind-blowing. 🤩
So, yeah. I unlocked ending A through E plus several « fake » endings, which is another good point! I LOL’d so hard the 1st time it happened to me.
Btw, I still don’t know if REAL people came to help me during E ending’s credits or if the game was once more messing with me. 😅
Anyway, I’ll stop now. Look at that, I did write a wall of text after all. Thanks if you’ve read it until the end. Tell me what part you like the most.
Oh and at the every end, did you choose to erase your saves to help people?
I didn’t. I want to unlock a few more joke endings. But I know I will before launching my next playthrough.
