NieR:Automata is all I knew I wanted as well as all I didn't even know I wanted from a singleplayer game. The combat's fun, it has a great story (Never knew i'd feel as uneasy as i did because of robot suicide), a well made world (both map and story wise) and an amazing soundtrack. And all of that is delivered in gameplay that ranges from 3rd person hack and slash to bullet hell, even including some visual novel features, and is backed up by an RPG style character system.

Pros:

+ Fun combat, even after many hours of gameplay
+ Story: Good characters and multiple well executed story arc-s. Multiple mind♥♥♥♥s.
+ World: The map is complex enough for you to still be finding new areas after a good ammount of playtime.
+ Soundtrack
+ Character advancement: You can customize the characters to fit your prefered playstyle. Very hard to hit a point at which you're "done".
+ Gameplay diversity: Game transitions well between multiple genres.
+ Lore and stories: You can unlock lore and stories throughout the game. All weapons have short but interesting unlockable stories, some refering to past games from the universe.

Cons:
- Side quests can get stale.
- Poor PC port: You have to downgrade drivers if you have an AMD GPU (Now fixed with recent driver update) (Not sure about Nvidia), resolution is wonky, KB+M controls are unintuitive and a few more.
- Can get grindy if you want a certain item/upgrade,
- Little character customization: You really cannot change the characters appearance much. Not an issue for me but i know some people care.

All in all i would most definately recommend the game to anyone.It's really been the best singleplayer experience i ever had.
