Everyone NEEDS to play this.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Wow, this is a nice surprise. Will be playing.

Everyone should play this, or at least give it a go. Seriously, even if the otaku-ish visual appearance (at first) is off putting, you really need to play this.

What is putting me off, is mz time with first Nier, I got me depressed how barren and unfun it was. Well I at least going to watch a review : )

Better yet, don't watch any reviews, go into it with a completely open mind and just play it.
This is one game I'll gladly hand over my dignity and shill for.

I mean, if depression is something you're not for... the plot goes to places. But a friendly piece of advice for all newcomers - and yes, bring out the pitchforks, everyone here is the gitgudest player evah, amirite, so why do I even bother - there is no autosave. The game really hammers that point home later on. But the first time you're able to save is after the first boss, some hour into the game, which can be a bit infuriating. If you switch the game to easy at first, no one will ever know (you can switch it back later). There are no trophies/achievements related to difficulty.

Not available on all markets yet? Germany doesn't have it listed.

It's already devalued by the usage of Denuvo.
Would buy the game (AGAIN, own it on PS4) from Steam same day it were removed.

Well I officially received notification from GamePass app, minute ago. Besides provided link if you stay on Czech page you can downloaded from there, no?

Played 10 hours of it before losing interest. Really didn't get the hype.
Also, I nearly quit after dying at the end of that bullshit tutorial and having to do the whole fucking thing again from scratch. I didn't appreciate that at all.

Got the notification through the GP app, downloading it now through my phone so that when I get back home it's ready to play. Technology is amazing!

Yessss! Almost bought this in the Sony sale 2 weeks ago, but had enough to play. MS keeps coming through with the Game Pass additions. So excited to play this!

Definitely one of the best games on this gen. Happy that more people will get to try it. Hope you guys enjoy it

There are some references but nothing really big IMO. Both games are quite independent

This game is a work of art. Definitely worth checking out. The music, boss battles, and the world are wonderful. Nier has always left a very good lasting impression on me. I still think back to playing the original. The world music is still stuck in my head.

I tried to watch some recap videos before playing this, and that just left me more confused. Go in blind, you'll be fine. You may miss some "cameos" (or characters from the previous game), but their significance (or lack thereof) to the main events is quite minimal.

A truly great and unique game. While I personally doubt ill ever buy/use gamepass - this really shows the range xbox gamepass will cover. Even obscure (its not that obscure being a multi million dollar seller) Japanese titles have a chance of popping up.

Name a Japanese RPG(-ish) game where you can't fish.
(and how is ReCore comparable in any way?)

a very good game with shitty performance and a slightly overrated plot\ost (yes i played the campaign 3-4 times to get all the story bits), also cute asses with great camera angles
i really liked the combat but it was little bit too simple\not deep enough.
i still hope for a remake of the first one that a lot of people consider better than this sequel.

You got me there about fishing as I'm not really familiar with Japanese RPGs - just not really my thing. Speaking of comparisons: both games take place in an open post-apocalyptic world, both are third person action games with rpg elements, both have female protagonists and a robot companion. Both games need you to use different weapons for different enemies. It has been a long time since I played both, but you can probably find a few more similar things about both games.

The performance is not stellar (although most of the issues crop up in world traversal - while annoying, it doesn't affect combat that often). And opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one - you may not like the story and that's fine (seriously though, how you find the plot is entirely subjective).
But the OST. HOW DARE YOU. Seriously, it's god-tier. It's the thing that ultimately sold me on this game (just playing the demo, I didn't play the original NieR or the Drakengard series), and it's the one thing I keep coming back to. I so wish it was in Spotify.

Good game, but highly overrated. The combat and weapons are shallow AF

I just finished this on PC (didn't get every ending, but did get the "main" endings)
This game plays so well, though I wouldn't call it especially deep the combat is satisfying with the speed and precision of the controls (if you have a controller with paddles, use them, it makes double dash fling jumps super easy). The camera switches to go top-down or side-scrolling introduced a lot of fun gameplay into 3rd-person ARPG. Invisible walls are everywhere which was mildly annoying.
Story was exactly what I expected from anything Yoko Taro touches. Weird, but good weird.
It's a really bad looking game, as bad looking as Nier was last gen. Even mods couldn't fix it much over improving the texture maps and fixing the color a little. Given that, the world still had a great feel to it and the art direction was great.
Music was top-tier, so many great examples in the game.
Solid 9/10

Fuck yes! This is so good! Last I checked, there were just some piano covers and such. Which, frankly, is like watching cosplayers.

I love this game to bits. I'm glad more people will get to experience it for the first time through GamePass.
It might be time for me to start up my third playthrough...
