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.

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.
