I've played a good enough amount to write this review. And MAN i'm hooked!!

First and foremost I played the first NieR on PS3 w/o ever having seen or heard of the Drakengard universe (the overall storyline and connections are VAST! Might be one of the more complex and brilliant storyline ever created), and I instantly loved it for it's unique story, style and gameplay... NieR: Automata adds to it.. though the PC version struggles a bit. But nothing which makes it unplayable in any sense.
The mixture of RPG/Hack N' Slash/Isometric ARPG elements makes this game amazing and unique.
The soundtrack is freaking awesome!
Combat is fast paced and diverse. Customisation etc. is new and unique. And the death system takes Dark Souls and NiOH elements and combines them in a positive way, where (when online) at death the player leaves an android body behind for other players to benefit from, by either repairing it to get a companion, or simply retrieving the parts, to gain full health and loot... Setting the online thing aside, your own body is also retrievable, since you lose a bit of exp and loot if you die. But if you choose NOT to do anything. It can rise again, evil. Where killing it gives some bonuses... It's simply BRILLIANT!

Overall I am just very impressed with this game, to such an amount that all negative things gets brushed off. Playing it made me see various videos to understand the lore and storyline of drakengard/nier. And even though I didn't get to replay the first NieR to all 5 endings.. I'm quite sure i'll be replaying Automata to get the full story and variations. :D I AM LOVING IT!

P.S. DON'T EAT THE MACKEREL! xD
