Because it's an SJW game.

1. Most critics only play casual shit so it seems incredibly deep & philosophical in comparison
2. Most of them didn’t actually finish the game
3. The ones who did were shocked at the plot twist about A2 & 2B, and NPC’s always associate subverting expectations with masterpiece
4. Lack of expectations or standards for games since almost all of them this decade has been garbage

Because it's a good game
Have sex.

So basically NieR is just the Madoka Magica of video games?

Because it's a good game and way better than BOTW. Simple.

the gameplay was designed so anyone could be able to complete it
many journalists probably weren't expecting the transition from ending a/b to c/d and once again to e
it's a very relaxing game overall

How?

They did?
I'm surprised seeing as 2B looks 2sexy and 2attractive for modern 'journalists'

the world building, story and themes presented are excellent
combat, while easy, feels really good and animations are amazing
the story is an absolute rollercoaster you just have to experience

overall, it took the best parts from original Nier and improved the worse areas

It didn’t improve on the characterization of the original nier, everyone in automata is extremely boring in comparison

Game journalists are clearly incels.

It's almost the exact opposite

Because they have no comeback for based taro who openly stated that he likes girls, a lot.

I also like how most of the sidequests actually added to the worldbuilding. Seems like that's rare nowadays, unfortunately.

cringe

Because due to Platinum's help Automata became the first entry level Yoko Taro game and the best a story gets for journos usually is The Last of Us so having a story that's actually good and interesting in a game where the bar to entry had been far lower than everything else by Taro blew their minds.
BOTW isn't exactly a better game either

They probably never watched a decent anime. Same reason why Persona 5 gets high scores.

Name ONE (1) decent anime.

Ninja Scroll

Because it's a good game. I don't think it's Top 10 material but I see why a lot of people would.
