Celeste: Good Meat boy clone, people give high scores because of the "themes" the game touch, but ,personally, i can take seriously a video game character when they use the "Mumble,mumble" instead of real voices . For me was like a group of hipsters wanted to make a game about depresion, but only could copy Super meat boy gameplay.
6.5 rating for me.
Nier Automata: Really good game but people give too much praise. The narrative structure is great but the story is your typical japanese rpg existentialism "Life is meaningless,your actions have no sense, everyone is going to die..." and some really Jrpg cliché characters like Adam .. i mean a character motivated by "Hatred" like a thousand jrpg villans before.
Some characters reactions are really bad, like 9S, in the las route of the game, looks like a weebo angry because someone kill is favorite waifu (Maybe that was the idea...)
The music es excellent but that year Cuphead music was better(more complex and original) and deserve the games award to best ost.
Nier Automata is a very easy game. the first secuence in the game (Battle with the giant crate) is the most hard fight in the entire game. The hard dificulty setting is just a cheap "one hit your die " without diferences in the enemy ai.
Other flaw in the game is the lack of enemy variety, the firs 3 hours show you almost the 80% of the enemy types in the games, and some bosses are just recicled regular enemies.
make no mistake, Nier automata is a truly good game and one of my favorites this generation, but some people treath this like is the second coming of christ.
Sorry for my bad english.
