The videos don't do it justice, the combat/action is amazing and you won't experience this kind of narrative, characters and mechanics anywhere else outside Taro's work. Though, you'll probably miss a lot of it. There are many things this game doesn't tell you explicitly.
It doesn't look amazing graphically and the world is pretty barren (obviously) but some the locations are really depressing and beautiful.
But yeah, it's bloody weird and not for everyone.
If you don't like action RPGs with fast-paced combat, then you might not love it as much in the end but if this game is boring, then I've yet to play an interesting one
I know it's all preference but it's my game of the generation so far in terms of what it does and how it does it. I only regret reading the reviews before playing it but I do share the opinion of the vast majority of the reviewers that Nier is simply an unmissable experience and a very important one for the gaming world.
I hope Detroit fares better than HR, I quite like the setting.
U4 is beast, it's obviously not a deep story but it's like playing an adventure movie with great locations and very decent characters.
