One of the better games I have ever played, it is not a game, it is a wild ride of joy and sorrow in the post-apocalyptic world of Nier, masterfully crafted by Yoko Taro. Deeply emotional, full of lore with an amazing soundtrack this game deserves to be game of the century. [2B] or not [2B], the answer is to be DRM free

This game is literally art to me. Its the single most unforgettable game experience ive ever had. The philosophical themes it covers really gave me something to think about. I´d like to buy it again on GOG so I can truly call it my own.

Nier Automata not being DRM free? "This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue..."
I played this game on PS4 and enjoy it. For me it was an instant classic and I really want to replay it on PC on GOG. The character's the world, the combat were all top notch. Best Regards

This was the game that made me a fan of Yoko Taro. His unique story telling style combined with Platinum Games gameplay help made this game truly memorable for me. It would be awesome to see this on GOG.

This game must be preserved for future generations! the melancholic story that draws you in and one of the best hack-n-slash there is out there and combined with the best soundtracks possible, no wonder Square Enix had to lauch an official playlist of OST's on Spotify and Youtube.

Well i just love the main character of NieR that is 2B. I learned about this game's existence when I was doing NieR-themed alliance raids in a mmo FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE. This game is a masterpiece. And it would be really nice if it was also available on GOG DRM free. I already have it on steam. But i would purchase it on GOG again as I personally prefer GOG over steam. GOG is so much better pc gaming platfrom than steam.
This is the first JRPG I've ever played (not counting Pokemon). What can I say other than the fact that it's a classic - from the story, the music, the characters and just the overall setting aesthetic of fantasy and technology make this game my top game of all time, as of today. Sure, I own it on PS4, and that's already good enough, but I also want a DRM-free PC port (that I could also use mods to my desire just to have even more fun with it). It'd be amazing to actually own it forever.

It's a Nier game. Fairly artificially depressing. They're all robots but get a little too emotional sometimes. Try not to pan the camera to look at things high up. 2B in particular will think you're trying to look up her skirt and get pissed off. I'm not sure even she knows why. Nice music. Lots of potential endings including removing your own CPU from your equipment list. (LOL) Has it's own machine language. Again, it's a Nier game so be prepared to delete your save game in the end.
Best game, cannot think about sand and desert without the soundtrack earworming in my brainz. 2b so wholesome and nice. On harder difficulty without auto aim or lock on the game flows incredibly well once controls are mastered as well, definitely rewards skill even if it is not difficult game.
Those games also need your vote!

Devil May Cry
Devil May CryOriginally intended to be the fourth installment in the Resident Evil series, Devil May Cry is an action-adventure game that introduced a host of new elements to the gaming community. Chief among them is the Stylish Rank, which grades the player's performance in combat. The game is split into Missions, which are individually scored according to various factors, such as Orbs gathered and damage taken. Additionally, Devil May Cry did away with the pre-rendered backgrounds of prior Resident Evil games in order to allow for a dynamic camera system.
