From the very beginning, the game enchanted me with its soundtrack, which is much different from what I'm used to from other games. It happened to me several times in Nier that I stopped and just listened to the ingenious soundtrack, which is so indescribably good.
Hack & Slash combat game really benefits to the game. After a while, combat might start to seem repetitive, but the creators always pull out an epic boss fight to fix it.
Although I've only been praising here so far, there are many negatives. For example, at the start we have the option to save after about an hour, which is quite annoying. It's also a shame that most quests are fetch quests, so it's still one same type. I was quite disappointed by the part where 2B died of an infection and her "death march" was perhaps the most frustrating part of the game, so there were almost no emotions besides frustration.
But not to mention just such little things, I don't understand who thought that to unlock the best X hours of the game it is necessary to go through the first ~15 hours again (yes, some events that happen as 9S are important, but still it could have taken place from the beginning for two characters, so that the story kept the tension going).
Overall, I'm glad I played to Nier, and despite a lot of imperfections, I was able to enjoy the game properly.
Positives: Soundtrack !!!, story, epic boss fighty, fun combat (even with ordinary enemies)
Negatives: Lots of fetch quests, to unlock the best part of the game you need to play for about 15 hours again.
