How far into Nier Automata did you get, may I ask? It could be worth sticking through past the credits. It’s one of those games where the side quests actually add to the experience, as well, so if you’re not doing those you’re missing some of the philosophy.
I know that’s a lot of work to enjoy something, though, and that’s not everyone’s cup of tea!
That’s totally understandable, it starts off seeming like a pretty rote jrpg, but it truly is something special. I think it’s one of the video games that helped prove games can be art, and uses the medium to expound on its themes. Be sure to load the game up again after the credits; it shouldn’t take you too long to get to them :)

Not too far, tbh. That’s why I was convinced it’s not for me. I’ll try again to see if that philosophy shines playing forward. Thanks.
