This game has been in shadows far too long for me. I bought it, but didn't like it with keyboard and mouse. I had a controller which didn't work properly, so I didn't have much fun playing the game for the first hour... but I could see the game itself is amazing. The game doesn't look extremely pretty, but the hell, it makes you feel things. It makes you feel good, it makes you feel bad.

<h3>The backstory</h3>

The mankind has fled to the moon as machines built by aliens have captured the Earth. You are playing as an android, as androids are sent back on Earth to  fight the evil machines - if they are defeated in combat, all the data can be uploaded and in best cases, the android body can be collected.

<h3>And the game itself</h3>

However not all of us care about that backstories. We want to have fun and play a good game. 
There are three specially good things so far in NieR: Automata.
1. The fighting is really fun after you get into it
2. The atmosphere is good
3. The possible feelings you can get

I didn't want to hurt a machine as it was cute and this was one of the smallest things I felt while playing the game. Soon after meeting the cute machine, I met a fucking horrifying machine and I wanted to destroy it as fast as I could. Damn machines.

The game itself isn't pretty, not at least on my settings. However this could mean the game works on older computers too, but you still are recommended to have a controller to play the game! Lack of modern graphic beauty is handled pretty well and if you can handle the rough edges, the game can be pretty to watch!

I'm really bad in game reviews. However, you can check out a bit of gameplay from the video I made:

I had played this after changing controller settings, so the playing was a bit clunky. Well my playing is a bit clunky otherwise too, but still...

I really recommend you all buy this game. It is great. I wanted to make a post about this even though I know I'm bad at reviewing games or anything else.
