✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Vanilla-friendly: keeps the game's original look intact
- One-click install: just drop the preset into your ReShade folder
- Community-tested with 50 endorsements and 2,391 downloads
⚠️ Cons
- Requires ReShade, which isn't included—you'll need to set that up first
- No before/after screenshots in the description, so you're flying blind on the visual changes
- Last updated November 2025—might not be compatible with future game patches
For NieR:Automata players who want a subtle visual upgrade without straying from the game's intended aesthetic. If you're a purist who loves the original look but wouldn't mind better lighting and colors, this is for you. Skip if you're after dramatic overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure ReShade is installed and configured for NieR:Automata before adding this preset.
- Use the in-game ReShade overlay (Home key) to toggle the preset on/off and compare the difference.
- If the game uses anti-cheat, verify that ReShade is compatible to avoid issues.
