Despite being one of the highest rated games of 2017, for good reason and as such, an argument can be made for it being one of the best. At any rate, NieR: Automata should run much smoother once you get the new Steam patch. NieR: Replicant is a remake of Automata's PS3-era predecessor, which means that many gamers may soon be wanting to play/replay NieR: Automata to see the impact of NieR: Replicants events. NieR: Automata’s Long-Requested PC Patch is Now Live. With NieR: Replicant releasing later this month, Square Enix is expecting to see increased interest in NieR: Automata.

NieR: Automata is a fantastic experience. Last month, a new PC version of NieR: Automata (NieR: Automata BECOME AS GODS EDITION) was released on PC through the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass for PC, offering PC gamers proper resolution support (without mods) and additional features like HDR and AMD's FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening.
Fans of the game have been requesting patches for the PC game for four years, and Square Enix is finally listening to these pleas. NieR: Automata's PC version suffers from a lot of issues, lacking support for many basic PC features out of the gate, requiring mods to address problems with no modern PC game should have.
Square Enix has confirmed that an "Upgrade Patch" for the Steam version of NieR: Automata is currently in the works, an update that may finally address the longstanding issues with the 2017 hit.
