Original Nier wasn't very good. It had some good elements, but the meh combat held it back enough to prevent it from being really great. Even the experimental gameplay sections weren't refined to the extent that Automata's alternate gameplay sections were. And there were still some visual novel-y sections, like A2 and Anemone's backstory.

Story / Characters / Side Quests / Feels: Nier

Nier's sidequests were terrible. Most of them were bad fetch quests. The occasional one had some cool story twists, but I feel like side quests and combat are the two areas where Automata really distances itself from the first game.
