I'm currently playing Nier (not Automata) on Xbox 360.
I really like it. It is a beautiful, sad game, with beautiful music and good artwork.
I finished the game with one ending last night, and decided - rather than play and get the next ending to the game, I would start over again from nothing.
There's an achievement for completing the whole game under 15 hours which I'm aiming for. I'm skipping all the sidequests, which means sadly I miss out on Devola & Popola singing together.
It is unrelentingly sad, just chock full of sad stories, sometimes unnecessarily sad.
For example - when you go to turn in your final fishing sub-quest, there's another man standing in the quest-giver's place. He tells you that the old man who gave you the quest died then says no-one in town really liked him anyway. I mean, come on, writers, you didn't need to do that! This has no impact on the overall story of the game, they just decide to throw in things like that all the time.
But the sadness is a good outlet for me in this world we're living in. It's easier to put your heart into a bunch of fictional grief and feel that than look at the world today pretending along with everyone else that the daily massive amounts of death aren't that bad.
