About
NieR: Automata (2017) is an action RPG that blends fast-paced combat with a deep, philosophical narrative set in a post-apocalyptic world. You control androids 2B, 9S, and A2 as they fight against machine invaders in a dystopian setting. The game is notable for its compelling story, stylish combat system, and multiple playthroughs that reveal different perspectives on the same events.
The game is quite accessible from a performance standpoint and doesn't demand cutting-edge hardware. Most modern mid-range GPUs can maintain solid 60 FPS at high settings, while even older cards like the GTX 1060 handle 1080p gameplay comfortably. For 1440p at high graphics settings and consistent 144 FPS, an RTX 2070 or better provides good headroom. Performance scales well across different configurations, making it an excellent benchmark title for testing older and newer systems alike.
With a rating of 90/100, NieR: Automata is absolutely worth playing for fans of action games and narrative-driven experiences. Its unique storytelling approach and memorable soundtrack make it stand out from typical action RPGs, offering both challenging combat and emotional depth that resonates long after completion.
Performance profile
February 2017 release. NieR: Automata was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
RPGs like NieR: Automata stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in NieR: Automata; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
Storyline
The distant future… Invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing a new type of threat: weapons known as “machine lifeforms.” In the face of this insurmountable threat, mankind is driven from Earth and takes refuge on the Moon. The Council of Humanity organizes a resistance of android soldiers in an effort to take back their planet. To break the deadlock, the Resistance deploys a new unit of android infantry: YoRHa . In the forsaken wasteland below, the war between the machines and the androids rages on. A war that is soon to unveil the long-forgotten truth of this world...
