It's funny. I agree with a lot of the flaws people point out about the game, but I honestly still loved the game. It's among my favorite Platinum games. But I do need to play Nier (I keep losing interest in the first two hours; I even restarted once because it had been so long since I played it that I wanted to redo it to keep the story fresh, but I ended up dropping it again).
I loved pretty much everything about the combat. I liked all the simple questing and even the red matter cleanup was inoffensive to me. The stealth missions were unfair at times, but in I ironically enjoyed how hard the game tried to fuck me over in that regard (seriously, having a random NPC run over broken glass, making enough noise to make the suspect turn around and spot you is just over the top).
I guess the flaws that really stuck out to me were the Astral Plane, lack of custom clothing (seriously, I thought with the way the wardrobe works that we'd end up with many more options than what we got), and the silent protagonist. I actually don't mind silent protagonists for the most part, but this one was just jarring since both twins have equally talented voice actors.
