Beat it on PS4 (ending E) and I think that this is the best game that I've played in years. Plot, storytelling, gameplay, characters — everything is superb. If you have played previous Taro's games, than you would be pleased to see references to drakengard/1st nier, but it's not necessary to play those games to understand the story of Nier:Automata. If you would read every information in Nier:A, than after the end you wouldn't have any questions.

What I love in Yoko Taro stories is that they are not full of stereotypes — they're fresh, unique and what's more important — INTERESTING. Yup, he's not telling you a story about "rise of the humans" or something like that. His characters strive to find happines yet fails severly and only cruel destiny is awaiting them. But still they aren't feel sorry or regret anything. They aren't whining about "what ifs" and just accept reality. Would they be able to bear it — is another question.
Dark yet funny, cruel yet fascinating — this is how Yoko Taro style is looks like.

Another "pros" of this game — neverending experimentations with gameplay. I haven't tired to play this game, because it's always changes the perspective and playing style. If you have played 1st nier you would get what I'm telling about.

Overall: Best hack'n'slash of decade, 10/10.
