Fellow Demon's Souls brethren, is Neir a good pickup?

Picked it up last night for $15 new at Gamestop. Just booted it up now and I love the music in the opening.

I think this is going to be a game right up my alley. Let's hope.

Let me guess , the game doesn't require skill and good strategy , you can avoide your enemies attacks easily and you can kill em by using the same magic over and over again , not like Demon's souls where your enemies are fearsome and strong which makes you think carefully before you attack them and keep you sheild ready all the time !!

Am I right ? .... , I don't own the game btw , I just watched some gameplay

That is not what my comparison is. Demon's Souls was a game that I initially made the mistake of writing off, only to later play it and absolutely love it. 

I feel like Nier may end up being the same experience for me in that regard.

 

Many Demon's Souls lovers got in due to the game's awesome word of mouth.
