Great to once again revisit the world of NieR now looking and playing better than ever before. For reference the original NieR was my 23rd Platinum GET and Automata was my 147th. Final time was around 70 hours and my character level was 50

For the most part this is that PS3 game at its core with the graphics completlely remade, the combat overhauled to actually be fun, a new 5th ending, a new scenario to play through in the 2nd half of the story a bunch of new costumes and weapons from automata thrown in. The DLC from the original is also built in to the game so you can hop in that and play as Papa NieR in those combat arenas any time after your initial playthrough.

Brother NieR brings a different vibe to the story, but I didn't think it was any better or worse than playing as Papa NieR. Going from a well mannered kid to an angry teenager was definitely a bigger change though than just getting an eyepatch like the original did.

The platinum itself is mostly similar to the original, but it brings in some new trophies to accommodate the new content. The grind to max out all the weapons is still just as long as it used to be, but the DLC weapons and new weapons are additional weapons outside the total count so you can pick and choose to a degree which ones to upgrade and ignore some of the more annoying weapons to fully upgrade. Other than that you're still completing 100% of the sidequests, getting all the endings, and beating all the bosses under certain time limits. Also that 15 hour speed run for an extra playthrough!

Excited to see whatever Yoko Taro does next, but it's almost time for RE8 so time to shift my focus to that :O
