The Answer to the Nier Raid Everyone has Discovered but No One has Realized. (Spoiler

[Vahlnir]

I was engaged just enough to be intrigued and confused, but not engaged enough to want to buy the game. I wanted to understand but... what am I trying to understand?

Honestly, the raids didn't do the games justice. At all. Nier Replicant and Automata are works of art, though I'd say Replicant takes the cake there and then some. I would highly recommend buying the games, or at least one of them. Unlike the crossover raids there's some actual story telling and character development. I get that the crossover probably didn't make the greatest impression, but I wouldn't hold it against the series itself. They are worth it. The raids in this game were better enjoyed if you didn't really question anything, because none of it actually made any sense. The epilogue did very little to address this either.

That seems to be the overall consensus. My boyfriend's brother has the game so I can take it for a test drive before I buy it myself, see if it's something I'll like.

One thing I will say though - the raids are GORGEOUS. Character design was very good, and I liked the music.
