　　We published a review of NieR: Automata's PlayStation 4 version earlier today, based on a purchased copy of the Honk Kong release (which includes both Japanese and English voiceovers).

　　Kai Powell rated the game 9.2/10 and provided the following summary:

　　You’ll laugh; you’ll cry; you might even contemplate whether androids are capable of feeling emotion at all or if they’re merely going by what they were programmed to do. NieR: Automata rewards long-time fans of Yoko Taro’s works with an experience that transcends any single genre. Although it might not be a perfect game, the sum of NieR: Automata’s unique storytelling meshed with Platinum Games’ style of action meld together into a title well deserving of being one of my personal Games of the Year, not for the story being told but rather HOW 2B’s story was told.
