One of the better games I have ever played, it is not a game, it is a wild ride of joy and sorrow in the post-apocalyptic world of Nier, masterfully crafted by Yoko Taro. Deeply emotional, full of lore with an amazing soundtrack this game deserves to be game of the century. [2B] or not [2B], the answer is to be DRM free

This game is literally art to me. Its the single most unforgettable game experience ive ever had. The philosophical themes it covers really gave me something to think about. I´d like to buy it again on GOG so I can truly call it my own.

Nier Automata not being DRM free? "This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue..."
I played this game on PS4 and enjoy it. For me it was an instant classic and I really want to replay it on PC on GOG. The character's the world, the combat were all top notch. Best Regards

Well i just love the main character of NieR that is 2B. I learned about this game's existence when I was doing NieR-themed alliance raids in a mmo FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE. This game is a masterpiece. And it would be really nice if it was also available on GOG DRM free. I already have it on steam. But i would purchase it on GOG again as I personally prefer GOG over steam. GOG is so much better pc gaming platfrom than steam.

This was the game that made me a fan of Yoko Taro. His unique story telling style combined with Platinum Games gameplay help made this game truly memorable for me. It would be awesome to see this on GOG.

This game must be preserved for future generations! the melancholic story that draws you in and one of the best hack-n-slash there is out there and combined with the best soundtracks possible, no wonder Square Enix had to lauch an official playlist of OST's on Spotify and Youtube.
This is the first JRPG I've ever played (not counting Pokemon). What can I say other than the fact that it's a classic - from the story, the music, the characters and just the overall setting aesthetic of fantasy and technology make this game my top game of all time, as of today. Sure, I own it on PS4, and that's already good enough, but I also want a DRM-free PC port (that I could also use mods to my desire just to have even more fun with it). It'd be amazing to actually own it forever.
Best game, cannot think about sand and desert without the soundtrack earworming in my brainz. 2b so wholesome and nice. On harder difficulty without auto aim or lock on the game flows incredibly well once controls are mastered as well, definitely rewards skill even if it is not difficult game.

It's a Nier game. Fairly artificially depressing. They're all robots but get a little too emotional sometimes. Try not to pan the camera to look at things high up. 2B in particular will think you're trying to look up her skirt and get pissed off. I'm not sure even she knows why. Nice music. Lots of potential endings including removing your own CPU from your equipment list. (LOL) Has it's own machine language. Again, it's a Nier game so be prepared to delete your save game in the end.

Magna Braban: Henreki no Yuusha
Magna Braban: Henreki no YuushaMagna Braban: Henreki no Yuusha is a Japanese-style RPG with party-based combat and random enemy encounters. The game's main view is an overhead map of a specific location, such as a town, where the characters move and can interact with NPCs. Upon leaving an area, the view changes to a larger overworld map showing locations of interest. The battles are viewed from an isometric perspective and the characters automatically engage and perform their actions. While the player does not directly control any of the characters, they can pause the battle at time and assign new strategies (such as melee, use long-ranged attacks or use Magic) to each character. Experience points and gold are awarded after each battle, the later of which can be used to purchase equipment and items.

Lost Odyssey
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.
