I decided to dedicate a drawing to Nier Automata not because I particularly liked the game, in fact I found it very mediocre, but i really liked the characters design.
I had high expectations for this game, however not only did I struggle to get to the end (the real end) but I also found a game that does not excel in any department, both the story and gameplay do not go beyond a certain level, and if the first is very basic and they try to make it more complex with a fragmented narrative (which does not work) the second is a light version of other titles of the same genre and period (like Bayonetta 2).
The only aspects that I really liked about the game are the soundtrack, very beautiful and varied, and the character design, but I cannot say the same about their personalities, in fact apart from 9S that I really liked everything else is really flat.
I conclude by saying that I have never played the first Nier so I may not have understood everything thoroughly.
