I have NieR: Automata and absolutely love it! I believe I ranked it like my 36th or 37th favorite game of all time or something on my top 50 faves list from last year, as memory serves. It was definitely something special indeed! I would go as far as to say semi-revolutionary even, narratively-speaking, if you've gotten to the game's proper conclusion. I don't mean just in the sense that it's got something to say about our level of humanity in general, but also that it's got something smart to say about why we play these sorts of games and from whence their redeeming value can come.
