The original NieR was a fantastic game that sadly fell under the radar for numerous reasons. So i'm glad that they decided to rerelease it in this way, along with adding additional content to it.

The story is as fantastic and grim as ever, and the new polish to the visuals is really quite stunning. The gameplay might be too simplistic for some, but I think there is a good deal of choice in how you handle the combat. Eitherway, I find thr combat satisfying, even if it isn't why I love this game so much.

This isn't a game everyone will love. It's imperfect, half of the sidequests really are just busywork and it can get very repetitive in long play sessions. But that imperfection, along with the overall tone, the atmosphere, the story and the soundtrack, make this game simply unforgettable.
