Evil Within 2 is janky but fun as hell. Nier has big ass and music and platinum and emotions and shit so it's probably better.

Didn't like Nier Automata. Besides all the flash and acrobatics the combat is middling. I also don't like games where I have to play through it more than once to get the full story. I really enjoyed Evil Within 2 and think its better than the first.

Haven't played EW2, but I didn't liked the first one. Is it much better than it?
Also love Nier: Automata, so my vote goes there.

Evil Within 2 is a much better game and an actual better story to follow, People rate Nier's story high because they think it made them think about certain thoughts. Evil Within 2 was much more fun to play Nier has some really bad points in it's story.

This whole competition is worthless anyway.
Sekiro is the clear winner irl but because of the fact that this forum is filled with plebs (which I respect a lot no offence) some other game is going to win.
I can see it coming, but no one listens to me so whatever I voted for Nier because of Ending E which is da real ending.

EW2 is a lot different to the first one. More fun. Sebastian Castellelelinosososossn is much more likeable.

Nier Automata is up there with Shadow of the Colossus and Ocarina of Time as the GOAT. I really wish I could play it for the first time again, so don't miss that chance OP.

Nice! Will add it back to my list.
Can I play it without beating the first one?

I loved Evil Within 2 (though not as good as the first one), but does Evil Within 2 have a big robot orgy?
No. No it doesn’t.

TEW2. One of the best horror games this gen. Nier is some overrated waifu shit. Who the hell got time to finish a game six times for the whole story?!

NieR Automata is one of the most important games of this generation for sure. Possibly the best OST ever created in all of videogames. Top tier action RPG combat. Some of the most fearless and challenging writing in any video game ever made. Genuinely thought provoking, emotional, and meaningful themes. The game also doesn't forget that its a game and just indulge the writer. It's hyper focused on being a tribute to interactivity at the same time - with 2D shmup levels, 3D action levels, multiple perspective changes, interactive commentary on trophies and achievements, and an extremely innovative and interactive ending.
The game made me genuinely feel things, and think deeply about morality, depression, religion, the meaning of existence and life, and literally made me finally come to a solid moral position on artificial intelligence.
NieR is like Evangelion was for people growing up in the 90s. It presents a mystery that's equal parts emotional and intellectual. It doesn't insult the player's intelligence, and instead requires the player to participate with their attention, and to delve deeper into the writing and mythology to fully appreciate it.
It's a genuine masterpiece.

Nier sucks so Evil Within.
I doubt you could find a single forum either online or irl where people would agree that Sekiro is GOTG. Even a soulsborne forum would likely select Bloodborne.

I'd say you have to finish it 1.5 times. Route B is about half as long, and is a bit repetitive. You play as the other character.
Route C is literally like season 2 of an anime, and it's pretty much all new content the whole time for all the rest of it.

These two monsters constantly appearing out of nowhere while playing kept me in constant tension while playing EW2.

This isn't even a minority opinion. Just read some of the reviews or watch this.
Genuinely a masterpiece.

There are 5 ending but it you don't need to play 5 times, at very least go look it up HOW to get those endings.

I’ve only played The Evil Within 2 out of these options, and I would never put it in the running for game of the generation.

Look Automato has a story that is quite possibly one of the most up it's own ass stories of this gen with unlikable characters (outside A2) and quirky moments but even then I would never consider it to be as autistic as Evangelion. I'm guessing you are comparing the two since everything is fucked by the end? Nor would I ever call it a masterpiece. It is for the most part extremely cut and paste in content as well. Previous Nier titles which shared the same theme did MUH hope far better. Now the gameplay works, the music is great and robuts are fine.
SO!
Outside the plot and characters it functions as a proper game. TEW2 bored the living shit out of me.
5/10. Get a better writer and make the game more diverse/less brown everywhere please. Character designs were pretty good. 9S belongs in a trash compactor.

I'd say yes it should be fine with just the general idea of the first game's storyline. I personally played and beat TEW 2 without beating the first and it was my game of the year. I had played the first when it released but I encountered the first one-hit kill/fail moments and I couldn't be bothered. I will say that my interest was piqued after playing the second to see maybe what the fuss was about by those who praise the game, plus I like Sebastian and wanted to learn more about the world. So I've been very slowly making my way through the game again but I can only do so in short bursts because of the blurred draw distance and weird camera effects, they make me nauseous and give me headaches. I think it has some decent moments that feel very PS3 era in design and execution compared to the sequel.
On topic for as much as I loved TEW2, Nier is just leagues apart. Everything just stands out so much more. The story, atmosphere, mood, fluid action and especially music all come together in such an amazing package, perfectly represented by 2B's soft jiggly posterior. Seriously though, they are both great games but for me Nier is timeless. I need that Nier remaster and Taro's next game ASAP.

I wasn't crazy about Nier Automata when I first started playing it. Then there was a point where it just "clicked" for me. I'm not sure exactly at what point this happened, but I found myself spending a lot of time playing it. I was actually enjoying it.
Evil Within 2 did not click with me. I just stopped playing and never felt the urge to continue. So if a choice had to be made between the two, I'd go with Nier: Automata.

You know, TEW1 would be tough to beat. I liked it def. more than Automata. But Automata is better than TEW2.

The Evil Within 2 wins in the campiness and gameplay department. I love the game and beat it FOUR TIMES IN THE WEEK IT WAS RELEASED. I love it so much even moreso than The Evil Within 1.
Nier Automata wins in the story and momentary aspects. The game blew me away with it's underlying tones (and even the several IN YOUR FACE themes), and some of the scenes are ingrained in my head to this day. Literally Art: The Video Game.
I think if the two had a baby, it'd probably be my #1 of all time.
Tldr; shit I don't actually have an answer.

Yeah, 2B stands for "Too-beautiful-of-a-Bum" am I right?
I voted for EW2, so I feel shame now that you've reminded me of her bum.
