So, one 45GB download later, let’s take a look at how NieR: Automata is handled by the PC.
Controlling the camera and trying to aim your gunfire and trying to play a Devil May Cry-esque action beat-’em-up is a tough ask for pretty much any controller, but maybe – just maybe – it would improve on PC. If I had one issue with the PlayStation 4 version, though, it’s that the controls are a teeny bit rough. It’s the sort of good game that some people are going to hate, and some will wonder why on Earth anyone thinks it’s good it’s going to be divisive, and I’ll be discussing that in the full review. In fact, I went through and finished NieR: Automata on the PlayStation 4 a week or so ago. NieR itself was a tremendously weird game, and the prospect of seeing what came after was a very, very exciting one. Saying that I’ve had high hopes for NieR: Automata is a bit of an understatement.
