Do I need to play Drakengard (3?) And Nier to understand Automata?

no, there's references to nier but automata is its own story and drakengard is in a different universe, but drakengard 3 is pretty good though

Please respond

The first one, yes

they're not the same game nigger

You can start with automata, but Nier is amazing so you need to consider playing that first

Thank you!

I'm at amusement park now and the boss keeps stomping me to death at 5% of its health

I can't seem to jump away since she also does electric shockwaves

There's no reason to play anything other than D1 and Nier.

Automata's gameplay lacks in comparison to other Platinum titles and the story isn't anything special.

Don't bother.

you need a science degree in butt anatomy to really enjoy Automata
