Nier
is a game that you really have to work at in order to enjoy it. As with nearly
everything made by Cavia, it’s got numerous kinks and oddities that may make it
a bit too unpolished for most people to enjoy. Cavia wasn’t a technically skilled
team but what they lacked in skill, they made up for with an interesting plot
and some of the most lovable characters in the 7th generation. Cavia
managed to create one of the most gripping, heartwarming and often-times
depressing tales to come out of this generation. Games like Deadly Premonition
and Hotel Dusk have shown that top-notch gameplay is not required to make a
great game and Nier most definitely fits that mold. This is Square Enix and
Cavia’s cult hit, Nier.
