On the plus side, "Nier" was praised for its characters and storyline, Seth Schiesel of the New York Times, states that the "Provocative" and "Profound" story of "Nier " "succeeds at fostering an emotional investment in its characters and in its world".

This collaboration explains the fluidity of "Nier: Automata's" combat structure which is very fast and fluid.
