This, in my eyes, is the most perfect game ever made. The story, The characters, none of them feel artificial, or just pixels on the screen. They feel alive. Every step you take, every choice you make matters, and the story unfolds where you can see the result of your choices From The game's name to the music, everything has meaning. This game breaks you in ways you cant even imagine, and then gives your heart the warmest hug possible. People think its just about Hot sexy girls killing robots, But in reality, the game explores deep philosophical and emotional themes in a a beautiful way i dont have enough words to explain how much i love this game. The ONLY flaw with this game is that you can never experience something like this in your life ever again. I am ready to sell my soul to play this game for the first time again This is the most beautiful game ever made. GLORY TO MANKIND!Jsk1122

Probably one of the best moments of my gaming life. I must admit that it took the second half of route B to make me thrilled about the game. But it was the best decision of my life to keep playing and giving it a chance. My obsession with Nier games started with Automata OST is godlike, just like many songs of Replicant

Nier: Automata, seen through its androids, is an elegy for a humanity that no longer exists but is endlessly re-enacted by those who loved it from outside. 2B obeys its orders like scripture, 9S questions it like a child, A2 mourns it like a widow — together they show the human world as a cathedral of absences, where every emotion, every loyalty, every small gesture is sacred precisely because it has no one left to give it meaning except those who choose to carry it. And A2, above all, sees our legacy as a landscape of loss — fragile, violent, tender, and absurd — and she loves it with a bitterness that humans, trapped inside their own existence, could never fully see. They see us not as flawed creators, but as a myth worth dying for, and in doing so they reveal a tenderness and tragedy we could never see while we were busy simply being human. It's not a videogame; it's a played poem of life and humanity itself.
One hell of a game I want to see on Gog along with the Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts series, Mana series, and many more. I love the games music, gameplay, story and combat.
It took many years for Nier Automata to remove Denuvo and to fix the issues with the PC port. However, everyone loves this game. I love this game, even if it's not my favorite Yoko Taro game. It popularized his writing style. It should be preserved properly.
This game is something special. It brings out every single emotion a person can have. The music and those emotions experienced during the 23 ending have truly stuck with me for years and years.

When I meet my girlfriend, I talk to her about NieR for 4h straight under the 2PM sun of September, happens that getting emotional about a game caught her attention enough to consider that I was a half decent guy, then she invited me to eat arepas. Thank you NieR for making me cry like a baby and give me an interesting plot to yap. Don't be foolish, you don't come for the gameplay, you come for the trauma bonding and to re-think what is existance it self.

Best game I have ever played. This game literally changed my life. I wasn't interested in philosophy and music before playing this game. This game changed my worldview. Truely a masterpiece.
this game is pure art and vision distilled into one complete package. I first played it because I heard about its many endings but I did not know it was so spectacular

I should say I am biased as this IS my favorite game. But even so, it has phenominal quality of life, phenominal music, a great story with great characters, fantastic art direction etc etc. It is the kinda game where you finish it and you're left wanting more, in the good way. I have yet to find another game as good as this in my eyes. It would be so wonderful if a gem like this game were preserved. It more than deserves it.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
