What if NieR Replicant was 100 times worse? This game answers this and then some The Bad: - Looks like a ps2 game (but released in 2016) - More stock sounds than original ost, from what it felt, with sound levels being inconsistent - Combat is mind-numbingly one-dimensional - Very few enemy designs that constantly get reused throughout the game - Boss fights that range from boring to gimmicky to straight up breaking...
Its has good combat mechanic and customization. The game give you freedom to challenge the bosses in any order, I think it's an interesting design to make the game less linear. The story also good, even it has no shiny AAA cut scene. Overall this game is good.
