Keep in mind that this game is still in development, i mean by the story and content. So far we got 2 seasons now and it is definitely getting better. I might improve the rating later, just make the game smoother pls.
edit: I'll give it a proper review now.
Gameplay
People have called this game a walking simulator but I don't think it is. It's almost like a semi open world game. The world is really amazing as you would expect nier games is. There are puzzles and stuffs you could interact. Some updates made it so you can go back to a certain point to find items and other stuffs. The combat system is something like a turn based game but with some real time aspects which is interesting but irrelevant when you get to a certain point.
For the PvE and PvP, PvE is easy as long as you get a good knowledge of the battle system. Other than that you should focus on getting meta characters. There are hard challenges which would definitely require you to have decent characters and equipments. Meanwhile in PvP, you can compete to get good rewards but if you want to dominate the game you definitely need to go for p2w. But overall the game is very f2p and very generous for new players.
Soundtrack/Music
Awesome and beautiful. NieR music never fails to input a certain feelings regarding certain stories. I also still in love of how unique the Chaos Language is. Chaos Language is basically the language used in NieR music.
World
The world is full of mystery. Sometimes it can get gloomy and beautiful. Big epic structures. Its a nice experience
