Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
60 of 215 sampled reviews raised it
A standout feature which deserves a lot of praise is how the game's lore and narrative are structured and presented to imply a world much grander than what we get to see.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
39 of 215 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is also fairly satisfying, new equipment and upgrades are simple enough in execution that optimising both the Burggeist and your own abilities is never overwhelming.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 215 sampled reviews raised it
Complimenting the game's visuals is the incredible soundtrack, which elevates the experience all by itself... just like the original Nier, too!
