everybody loves cavia.
this game was sold to me as like "it's unplayable but it's interesting." i'm here to tell you that it IS weird and it is actually WILDLY playable. it's not smooth like PlatinumGames-developed NieR: Automata, but that's because Cavia is not PlatinumGames, and Cavia kind of LIKES to be a prick to the player. all of the sidequests in this game are pretty horrible, but you don't NEED to do them!
me and alex and then mostly just me played through an English-patched NieR: Replicant (which we're getting in the west on PC soon!) only because the download was available. I think I'd like the story better with daddy-nier.
although the story with bro-nier is not bad at all! this game is all about being a freak and finding a home with other freaks. our player is an important character but Kaine and Emil really really shine through as evocative characters in an unique action-RPG.
the action is also weird as hell! they are trying to go for a 3D bullet hell type thing, and it works mostly! when it doesn't work it's fun too. play NieR (2010). it's a breath of fresh air.
the lore's nuts too.
