Honestly, I need to make another comment cause I am so grateful that this review exists. This game is so good, and it's one of those games that made me just sit there after finishing it and think about how much I liked every moment of it. I was getting a bit bored on the second playthrough, but I wanted to see more and learn about A2, and im glad I kept going cause it was worth it. Also, the soundtrack is going to be stuck in my head for a while. Definitely going for platinum 😌

Great game. Great video. Almost didn't reach ending E due to the really long title sequence which seems to repeat in an unending cycle which fits with the game's ideas closely enough that you think it will never end by design. I did accidentally end up putting 9S in a dress and couldn't work out how to change back. Awkward... I had to think of him as a page boy.

Thanks for covering this one, your reviews are always thorough and entertaining no matter what the series is! This game has the honor of being one of the only 2 games that have ever made me cry. Everything was just so well done and the presentation of it all was nearly perfect I definitely don't have much to say about this one, everything speaks for itself. The game is popular for a good reason. This game is always worth the play Yoko Taro reminds me a little bit of Kojima with how in-depth and layered he can get with his stories/themes. I hope the popularity of this game leads to more Drakengard remakes in the future! (The copious amounts of 2B Cameos in every game better be paying for something.)

Absolutely still worth it. The way the plots unfold in nier automata and replicant/gestalt is just so unique to me and I respect those that don’t see the replaying as their cup of tea or just may not be interested but for those seeing this in 2024 and think they may like this game please just try it. If not both at least play automata (as much as I love the first nier I can admit that automata is more accessible to newcomers. Also maybe I’m wrong here but I can’t can’t think of any other games that mix various gameplay styles from various genres like the nier games do or at least not “as” varies as they do. What I would really like to see though and you mentioned this in you video is definitely Drakengard to come back I didn’t play them much years ago (I knew of the ip and played a bit of 1 (think I beat it but it was years ago can’t be sure lol) and 3 but it was so buggy I couldn’t stick with it.

18:20 Yeah, difficulty of the game is tied to how well you manage your chip system and unfortunately for normal held by the hand players out there, the chip system ain't gonna hold anyone's hands. The chip system can easily either make or break the game, specially in the harder difficulties because enemies are already beefier but you don't have access to most of the chips.

Very true

I feel I love the characters and the various robot societies. Along with the music and narrative tone. The story has some nice science fiction and philosophical elements - although I will say that getting through the main 3 endings, philosophically for me it wasn’t as “mind blowing” as many said. I think this may come in that I came to it as an older gamer, and had been exposed to basic philosophy during my educational years and it’s fairly 101 course philosophy. However, I am glad it intros these thinking concepts in an intelligent story to people who may have not had that opportunity. My main issue was the gameplay itself. I enjoyed the third person action sequences - but actively disliked them constantly shifting to bullet hell topdown levels, sidescroll platformers etc. I buy a third person action game specifically because I like that gameplay, so the designer is rolling the dice on if these totally different forced participation ’game modes’ are fun or a slog. Also, the environment design was a bit monotone and had a lot of invisible walls, windows etc. not well camouflaged giving it a “set-like” feel. Paired with the non-voiced npcs. It was unfortunately a game if I were to do again I would more enjoy “watching” than playing.

The credits sequence was great though at the very end, but I think, perhaps, the game was a bit long for me.
