Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
47 of 91 sampled reviews raised it
Summary: 8/10 (an ambitious attempt of a sandbox RPG with good story marred by its lackluster implementation)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 91 sampled reviews raised it
Also, since it's the Nier: Automata team, it also has a very beautiful, heavy and emotional soundtrack that lends so much more to imagining an environment otherwise just shown with description and pictures on cards.
