A SOLID 5 star. I did the mistake when it came out to play up until ending A, missing out on SO MUCH amazing content, but even back then I rated it a 4.5 stars.
There is literally no reason for you not to play the game. This is one of the few games where I purposely sought out side content to do because that too was so enjoyable to do. The combat in this game is so smooth and satisfying. The NieR series has the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a game. And the story... the characters... it's impossible to talk about them without spoiling someone, this is one of the few games you need to go in knowing next to nothing about.
