Ah? Bar trash like the XIII "saga", SE still makes a lot of great games - including my GOTY 2017, NieR Automata, for example.

Mistake, my dear. Platinum Games made the game, Square Enix published it. Not much credit there, if you ask me.

If anything SE made most of the game what it is.  Story, music, production and direction wise with Yoko Taro at the helm.  Platinum did have the gameplay on lock very well but considering the experience of Nier A, it's highest quality outputs were more the story and soundtrack.  The first Nier didn't have very good gameplay yet it was still highly, and is still highly looked upon despite that in terms of being a great experience overall.
