So I've played Nier Automata demo, and my opinion changed somewhat.

So just finished the demo after downloading just because. I was never interested in the game but now I am, I enjoyed the demo and it felt so fluid and smooth. The one thing that bothered me slightly was it seems that the combat could start to feel a little repetitive as in the demo there didn't seem to be much variety of moves and combos for this style of fast paced, stylised hack n slash (compared to DMC and Bayonetta). However it is just the start of the game and obviously there's more weapons and weapon sets so hopefully it can keep it from feeling to repetitive once you're well into the game.
