What kind of game is this supposed to be? I see people gushing over it, never played the original Nier and all I really know is it stars a female protagonist and comes from Japan.

It is an action RPG. Original Nier got marked down because the combat was bad, but did many things right otherwise, especially the story and music. So this time, they got Platinum to do the combat, while the original team worked on the wider game world and story.

Looks like it has paid off for them

An action RPG with a lot of similarities to metal gear rising.  Did you play that? 

I did not play MG:Rising but this looks sick! Just dipped my toes into the ARPG genre with Ni-Oh and that one didn't disappoint. Might have to pick this up, game was completely not on my radar
