NieR Gestalt 9/10

I finally finished NieR in August after playing and stopping a few times throughout the year. A few years ago a friend of mine played it and wouldn't stop talking about how it was the best game hes played and the soundtrack was even better. So I went out and purchased it a little while later but I was always too busy to sit down and play it. Nier is a pretty long game and you really got to have some time to invest in it. I never really heard much about the game so I had no idea what I was getting myself into at the time. Now I can't get Nier out of my head and for good reason!

NieR Gestalt:
Nier starts off as a pretty normal story. The end of the world kinda already happened and the people are trying to get back on their feet. Now only problem is there is this disease the black scroll that a lot of people seem to be getting. Now besides that there are also shades terrorizing the people. You play as Nier and older man who has a young daughter Yonah that has caught the black scroll. There of course are rumors that there is a way to cure this horrible disease once and for all and Nier is going to do just that to save his daughter. ,/br>You fight a lot of shades you meet Kiane and Emil along the way fight some more shades find out more information about the black scroll. Just when you think well this can't possibly get any worse Yonah ends up getting mixed up in all this! So now Kaine has turned to stone and Yonah got taken by the Shadow Lord! ,/br>If you want to know what happens you gotta go play it! ,/br>Now I gave it the rating 9/10 because the gameplay is kinda stiff and clunky. It is still playable and the game is both hard and challenging. The story and characters are interesting and amazing. It is a tiny bit repetitive but is still fun and exciting. Repetitive as in you got to play it multiple times to get all the endings and there are always tons of shades everywhere and there are only so many places you travel to then re travel to. The sound track is beautiful and perfect and even if you don't go play it go give it a listen.
If you have played and love the game as much as me please let me know! I love talking about it with people!
