Having played both through to completion more than once, I'd say that, perhaps not surprisingly for Yoko Taro, Nier Automata is a much more daring game that just wasn't anywhere near as well executed. It's more of a cult hit, in the sense that it tries to break new ground and do a bunch of new and unexpected things, and it has its hits and misses. It's clearly unpolished and imperfect (with the exception of the combat, which is polished, and the music, which is perfect)... but it's more ambitious than probably any game this decade in thinking outside the box for its genre. It's a pretty different animal than TLOU in that sense.
