It pains me to do this, since I have fond memories of the original NieR and enjoyed it more than Automata, but this port is horrendous.

Input code that needs to be banished back to whatever corner of hell it crawled out of, thread synchronization problems causing artificial CPU-bound performance, a mouse cursor that hides itself when playing KB&M, and shows itself when playing gamepad (WTF?!).

I have fixed all of these issues, more than doubled the framerate, and I'm fairly certain there will never be an official update to fix any of this stuff. It's a great game, and I recommend playing it, but I don't recommend giving these developers the idea that their work is good enough to sell at AAA prices :P
