It's amazing, yep. I wouldn't say it's my GOAT, but it's definitely one of my favourite games of this gen. It made me curious about the Drakengard series, but I found those games unplayable lol. Platinum gave the saga a pretty good gameplay, which is what it needed desperately. I wonder if there are any comics/novelizations of the previous games...

The gameplay aside from feeling great is also enhanced thanks to the the skill system, which makes it the most flexible character action game i have played, it allows you to change you gameplay style in such drastic ways it can indeed feel like you are suddenly playing a different game, to give you an example all the core gameplay mechanics of the most popular platinum games are available in this game as skills, and they do work exactly as they do in their original games (with the benefit that you can improve them to make them beyond OP).

Gameplay in NieR:Two is straight up copy of gameplay from previous P* project - Transformers Devastation.

Apart from gorgeous OST and couple of touchy moments this game is mediocre at best. 

Didn't you know? Transformers doesn't have "DAT ASS".  So NieR is better.

It most certainly is a Masterpiece and I would count it amongst the best of the generation. Not my personal fav of all time, but I can get why it is for you.

It takes less than 2 minutes of comparing gameplay for this to be horrendously wrong. Transformer combat isn't bad, but it's not even a foundation for Automata's combat.

Awesome game, I gladly double dipped for PS4 and Steam versions.

Not my favorite game of all time (Persona 4 Golden and Steins;Gate are up there waiting for me to finish Persona 5), but it's really high in my ranking. A great demonstration of video games as a true art.

 

I hope to see a new Nier with an even bigger budget for a larger scale production.
