When getting into the first volume titled ‘Long Story Short’, readers will be returned back into the abandoned factory through a briefly narrated prologue before the story takes the point of view of 2B, just as the pair of her and 9S take on their first major mission together in the desert ruins. So how do the expanded stories compare to the game? With its release in 2017, it gained massive popularity for its unique gameplay and story structure, its lovable and deeply emotional cast of characters, and a multitude of themes that all dig into the very essence of what it means to be human to have a god worth fighting for. It is barely an exaggeration to call Nier: Automata a masterpiece. The only major downside is that some of the retelling of the narrative can be a bit repetitive at times and at others, leave the reader wanting just a little more.Ĩ/10 for readers who have played the game
#NIER OTOMATA SERIES#
On top of the extra stories and expanded lore provided in the second volume, the Nier: Automata novel provides enough new value to be worth the read for any fan of the series and is a decent, although strongly discouraged, introduction to the series.
While it does not hit nearly as hard as the game experience does, the Nier: Automata novel does a great job at exploring the inner thoughts of the characters such as 2B, 9S, Adam/Eve, and A2 as the events of the game are told in text. Still, if you want to read the novel without playing the game for whatever reason, I'll provide a brief tl dr without getting into spoilers: optimal way of getting into the series and should be played first before looking at the extra content. Additionally, the books themselves handle this spoiler information as common knowledge for readers, thus treating them a lot more loosely and effectively minimizing their impact for first time readers. As such, this review will contain information that is learned when playing through the game and will be a spoiler for those who have not. This review is aimed at people who have at least played through the video game Nier: Automata and have gotten through all of the canon endings (A-E), not for people using the books as an introduction into the series.
