This final arc of NieR Re[in]carnation is without a doubt the best part of the game. Every arc before this was just planting the seeds and after years of buildup I'm happy to say that they were able to bring it together and conclude this experience in a satisfying & surprising way.

This entire chapter was filled with plottwists & crazy moments at every turn and it was incredible to finally get answers to so many questions. Not just questions from NieR Re[in]carnation but from all of NieR and even Drakengard, as this game directly ties together everything that came before while also laying a foundation for what comes next and dropping some massive lore bombs along the way. But while it did a lot of heavy lifting for the greater story of this universe, it also manages to bring a satisfying conclusion on a more personal level to every character that we met throughout our journey through the Cage. All of them get their time to shine here.

The only thing holding this back is ofcourse the gameplay and the fact that it is a mobile gacha game which will soon be gone forever... I really hope that they preserve this experience in some way because it definitely deserves it and its importance to the world of NieR can't be understated.

Love it or hate it, this is NieR 3. And while I used to be on the hate side, I'm glad that I decided to check it out regardless because as a fan of the series this was a joy to experience
