A wild conclusion to Travis Touchdown's story. Really liked the combat in this game and the wild cutscenes. The alien villains are really cool too, I love their designs and (some) of them have really fun personalities and line deliveries. Looking back however, I am a bit sad this game lacked staples from the other games such as bosses having their own stages. Sure they were just glorified hallways but I definitely feel like it's more interesting than fighting in generic arenas a bunch of times. I also wish the bosses were a bit harder, being able to use powers from the roulette system thing made them die way too fast. I'm still holding out that we get some sort of "Director's Cut" that restores the cut content some day.

A fantastic remake, I was surprised by how little was changed from the original. They improved the combat by a lot but everything else is the same, including how much you have to replay to get all of the endings and collecting all weapons to get C and D. In this way you could say that as a remake it's faithful to a fault. For many people this will (rightfully) be a huge issue, but as a huge fan of the original I was completely fine with it. Brother Nier is pretty cool but I still like Dad a lot more. The remade soundtrack is also a mixed bag to me, some of the new mixes are incredibly good but others just feel much weaker than the originals. It's also very nice to see ending E even if I like ending D more.
