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.
Yeah, I would have an issue trying to place Nier Automata in the top of the decade due to its issues, but it's still a fantastic game. If we ranked games solely on their soundtracks it would be near or at the top.
