This might sound crazy, but I actually preferred Nier Replicant to Automata in terms of gameplay. I preferred Automata slightly on story and feel, but I also felt like Automata made some really bad mistakes that Nier didn’t (the notorious prologue, for example)
If I could ONLY play one of the two once, I think it would be Automata. If I could only play one game 100 times, it would be Replicant. if that makes sense

I actually like Automata's prologue :D

“Game Over” having to rewatch the opening 6 times in a row was almost enough for me to toss the game out. I ended up putting “super-duper-easy” auto-fight mode on until I reached the first save point.
Who though that having a 1-hit-kill boss 15+ minutes into the game BEFORE the first save point was a good idea?

I probably just got lucky because I beat him first try. Just a completely different experience.

Fair point
But that damn double-saw is one of few bosses that both have one-hit-kill situations that also attempt to hit you with one-hit kills (instead of them being incidental collisions). One could say it’s one of the hardest bosses in the game.
It really sucked how many times I had to watch the opening cut-scenes. They went from beautiful to annoying.
