NieR Re[in]carnation Software

Just as you would expect from a NieR game, this new addition has incredible story telling that will drag you in while being accompanied by a phenomenal soundtrack and stunning graphics. The gameplay isn’t too over the top and can even be completely automatic for those who are only really interested in the story's. However just like any game there will be at least some minor bugs. One of the main bugs that I have been running into at the moment is that at times when I collect something from either a mission or by collecting on of the birds my game will constantly have the connecting sign in the corner of the screen and never connect despite having perfectly fine internet. However, I don’t find this to be a big enough of an issue to cost such a great game even 1 star. This game most certainly has the potential to become one of the greatest mobile games of all time as long as they move in the right direction and I can’t wait to see where they go with it next.

I pre-ordered this game and played it for about a week before deleting it. My initial impressions were a mixed bag: the game itself was a beautiful combination of Monument Valley, Sinoalice, and a (somewhat) traditional JRPG. However, due to my unfamiliarity (at the time) with gachas and the complexities/oddities of the mechanic - and the game itself - I just found it a little overwhelming at the time. However, after months passed by and I inadvertently became more familiar with gachas - courtesy of Punishing: Gray Raven and Genshin Impact - I decided to circle back on NieR:R and boy…I sure am glad I did. Now that I understand gacha mechanics I now have a far better vision of how this game works. With this confusion cleared up it’s like a fog lifted, thus revealing the other elements of the game that I didn’t fully appreciate at the time, such as the awesome characters/weapons, the beautiful world, and the dark but lovely storytelling. I am a huge fan of this game now and am thankful I gave it a second chance.

It’s a quite rare gacha game that not too much focus on requirements to spend a lot of money and time investment while being a Nier series, what make me surprised about it that the dialogues and quality of the story is great. Since this game is considered new on global market, I believe the game has a better potential if they have more activities and things that could give it a better go. It’s probably higher than quality than most FF games on mobile from SE that I know and play so far. The combat seems great and high quality, wish Nier Gestalt or Drakegard should have some version of the games on mobile, console, or PC platforms. Personally, I think limited games on other platforms somehow low down the intentions for this type of game. It’s technically one of the heavy titles that would explode your phone devices, so i recommend that a console port or PC should be greatly appreciated.
