This was gifted to me as a birthday present.

I love this game.

You get to run around as an android with an amazing butt in a thong fighting robots, what more can anyone possibly want from a game?

oh... it also has:

Story: For a JRPG it's actually really good! I find the typical Japanese storytelling to be rather... subpar? I guess. I love JRPGS but I almost always find the story rather stupid and inane, the exposition tedious. Far too much of it. Nier is an exception.. an exceptional exception even.

Gameplay: Easy spectacle fighter type battle system with some weapon variety. Including different characters who handles weapons differently.

Graphics: That butt is just amazing, best rendered gamebutt I've ever seen.

Voice acting: Weeabo that I am I used the JP voices and it's rock solid.

Feels: My poor heart wasn't ready for them.

The game isn't perfect, In my opinion, playing as 9S was.... boring? Yeah, boring, fighting started to feel like a chore. From the fluid badASSery(subtle, I know) of B2 to 9S's stale fighting style with his hacking-mechanic was not in my taste.
The story is what kept me going(playing 9s) but far too much time is spent playing him because you need his hacking skills for things.

Had to use the FAR mod to get the damn thing running though.

Edit/
It's been a few months and I still love it.

Edit2/
It's been more than a year and I want to play it again.
