This is only a tech review. He's doing a full review later, but he has already played it through on the PS4 and he says the visuals on the PC don't compare. I also don't like that you can't re-bind the mouse buttons.
https://www.pcinvasion.com/nier-automat ... cal-reviewDepressingly, NieR: Automata is a port rather than a full-fledged PC version, and right now it’s a bit tricky to recommend. Performance is lower than expected (and problematic if you’re on the lower end of the specs), scaleables are limited, and the controls are… interesting. Twin-stick bits aside, it might be a case of just getting used to them, but I’m going to need more time to figure that one out.
If you have a solid system, a controller, and are lucky enough that you don’t hit any of the issues I’ve seen reported online – ranging from crashes, the 900p rendering, and performance issues on computers that shouldn’t have performance issues – then there’s little reason to opt for the console version over this. For now, though, I’d wait for a patch at the very least, because the truth is this isn’t anywhere near where it should be.
Our full review of NieR: Automata will be coming soon, and I’ll be playing through the game with mouse and keyboard. Wish me luck.
