I haven't played Automata yet (PC not good enough, no current-gen console), but the first Nier was amazing, and I'd highly recommend hunting down a copy if you have a PS3/360 (or hunt down one of those too).

Hey Faey! Welcome to having a postcount! If you liked the original Nier, you'll probably love Nier: Automata, I think. I've heard the gameplay is very similar, just better thought-out and polished. No spoilers, but it actually manages to bring back some of the original characters too. So, that's something to look forward to for when you get a better PC/console. (I would personally absolutely recommend Nier: Automata)

Thank you for the welcome, I may have been lurking for awhile waiting for LT updates >.> (glad they're finally coming in)
Definitely planning on getting Automata when I can (It's going to take awhile). Was mostly posting to recommend the original for those who either liked Automata.

I would definitely check it out, but unfortunately I lack a console. I have a standalone USB controller, but that's it. Hopefully someday.
