From GameSpot: "Nier: Automata first launched more than five years ago, and as of October 2022, it has finally made the jump to Nintendo Switch. To mark the occasion, GameSpot had the chance to ask key members of the development team--writer-director Yoko Taro, producer Yosuke Saito, and composer Keiiche Okabe--about Nier: Automata’s creation and the lasting impact the game has had.
I’ve made no secret that I’m an enormous Nier: Automata fan, and it continues to hold a special place in my heart as not just my favorite video game of all time, but also the game that most justifies its existence as a game rather than some other form of media. The interactivity and sudden genre shifts in Nier: Automata (and its predecessor) are its defining characteristic. I’m not sure what it means that I’ve also read the novelization and am eagerly anticipating the anime adaptation, but you can chalk it up to a mostly healthy obsession."
Square Enix and Platinum Games' action role-playing game, Nier Automata, has nearly reached sales of 10 million units worldwide.
I have it for Switch, (Nier Automata The End of YoRHa Edition) amazing game.
According to a former PlayStation boss, NieR: Automata revived the Japanese gaming industry, which was just following trends before it.
im not sure if they "saved" it, but Taro definitely shook things up with the story telling that hes so infamous for.
especially in times when free to play model was at its peak in gaming.
I never really felt that way, but I really enjoyed NieR: Automata, I made sure to get all the endings.
I’m not sure about that but it was good to have and hope we get more games from Yoko Taro that aren’t mobile
