Nothing is as it seems in Square Enix's latest action adventure game, set in a crumbling world plagued by disease and dark, unrecognizable creatures. Players assume the role of the unyielding protagonist, NIER, resolute in his quest to discover a cure for his daughter, who is infected with the Black Scrawl virus. With powerful allies and a mysterious book, NIER encounters things that will confound even the mightiest of warriors. With NIER, experience seamless in-battle cinematics and explore hauntingly familiar lands, intense action-packed battles, and storytelling like only Square Enix can do

Wait, why does that tree has a text adventure game, yoko taro what's wrong with you?
It's a bit jank to play, but everything else about this game is the best. Story, characters, writing, music, and worldbuilding are 10/10.
I think a lot about how Kaine knew what the stakes were this whole game, but said nothing because she didn't give a shit. That little tragedy to me is at the core of what makes this game so good, even compared to the more playable (?) Automata.
One of the best casts in Japanese RPGs, too. I would die for Emil, and probably for Kaine (but again, I don't think she'd care...)

only started playing this because of some of the environments, which are very cute. unfortunately, everything else is pretty shit; story, dialogue, pacing and combat. the first 5 mins of walking around the main village and watching little chicks walk around were the highlight for me, it was all downhill from there
I love you Dad
despite the remake and sequel this is still yoko taro's magnum opus. i will never forget you papa nier
