Customer Ratings & Reviews

Actually runs pretty well on the switch, especially in portable. The gameplay is definitely sufficient, but where this game really becomes special is the story and music (mine also came with a cool reversable cover)

I had always heard the title of this game but paid it no mond. When it released on Switch, I started seeing gameplay and Im like “what in the world is this?” I saw it was a sidescrolling, platforming, rpg, twin-stick shooter and bullet-hell all rolled up into one game. Now it may sound like a mess but surprisingly, it pulls it all off nicely.the story was engaging enough and it surely doesnt hurt that the main character is very easy on the eyes. Im shocked that this was released at 40 and not $60. I just finished my forst playthrough at about 18 hours but there are multiple endings which gives more to do. For 40, i think its worth it. As u can see, its close to the top of my list from games I’ve played the longest.

Really fun game, Great story and the anime just came out recently. The combat is very enjoyable and so much replayability. I'm also very impressed on the performance of this switch port, being able to hit 1080p when docked which is higher than the older gen versions. Frame rates are mostly stable. However, the downside is that texture quality is a lot less lower quality than other platforms but in my opinion the fact that this port runs very well makes it worth it.

This game is perfect. Incredible gameplay, incredible story. Massive props to the team that ported it to the Switch. it runs perfectly.

NieR:Automata is an impressive Action RPG with a masterpiece level ost and amazing combat and an incredible story.

Not sure why this port is getting such high praises. This game had been on my wishlist FOREVER but i heard mixed things about the PC port, so opted for the Switch. I’m also a big fan of having physical game copies so that swayed my vote a little too. I had heard nothing but good things about the Switch port so I was super excited to play it. However, this game honestly looks so bad… the textures are extremely flat.. the frame rate and stuttering were so bad at times (especially in more detailed areas like the ruined city) i had to just stop moving for a minute to see if that would help the game “catch up”. Sometimes it did, other times not so much. i also experienced crashing which was a first for me on the switch. not a good combo for a game that doesn’t have autosaves. Overall, the game is great. The story and world hooked me in a way that not too many have and i’m interested to learn more about the rest of the series now. This game is definitely a must-play, but i absolutely do not recommend the switch version. if you have access to other ports, i would probably go with those. from what i’ve seen now, the PC port looks way better, and i’m sure PS would be even better.

One of my favorite games that I've played, story driven with emotions and good combat mechanisms, definitely recommend it.

It doesn't have the best combat out of all of the Platinum Games out there but it's still great and the story it has has to be seen to be understood. Explaining it would give away too much. Also, surprisingly, the port both looks good and performs well. Might be the most impressive Switch port so far and I can't wait to see the other Nier game eventually get ported

Super fun. Good combat and interesting story. Port has been done well.

This title is what the switch games library has been missing! Engaging story,beautiful musical score,memorable characters,this game has it all. My only complaint would be that the other games in the nier series should be ported to switch to complete the series.

Nier Automata is a great game with an excellent story. If you enjoy any platinum games like Bayonetta and Astral Chain you will enjoy this game. The switch Version run really great

The best of the Nier series due to the gameplay, entertaining story, great soundtracks and characters.

Another amazing port of a classic brought to the Switch. Make sure to play NG+ for the full story.

A great game with a nice story that also gives a fun game play experience as well.

Good game. Open world, fast paced action. Good story, overall good

Worth the price! Excellent gameplay, story and soundtrack.
