This game is the reason why a guy [the legendary u/-YoRHa2B-] started working on dxvk, to make this game compatible on linux after it released. Valve hired him and made Proton out of it. The result is the Steam Deck, this remains one of the best games for the SD.
I played this for a few hours a couple of years back as I had heard so many rave reviews about it.
I got to the first boss I but it didn’t really click with me, did I not give it enough of a chance or something? Does gameplay/story improve as it goes on?
It unfortunately takes a long while to pick up. When it picks up, it really goes all in though, there’s a reason it and the first game in the series (NieR Replicant) are praised as some of the best stories in video games ever made.
It just… really takes its time. I would say Replicant gets into the meat of everything sooner while Automata is a slow burn until it’s time for the game to twist everything on its head. Completely fair if you don’t like that kind of thing, but there is good reason for the praise.
Edit: Was using Memmy for this and it duplicate my comment twice, sorry!
Yes, play again, you won’t be disappointed
100%. Stick with it and don’t forget to reload your save after “beating the game”. Otherwise you miss out on EVERYTHING
