I'm on my third playthrough of Nier 2, and can save without a doubt that this game lives entirely up to expectations.
The only real issue I have with the game is that frame drop is noticeable at times when the overworld loads, but it's not completely choppy looking like FFXV.
Addressing those complaints someone posted earlier:
1. Length: I'm 50 hours in. Still haven't gotten all the main endings yet.
2. I, personally, haven't encountered any bugs. Just the frame dip sometimes.
3. Combat is really whatever you make it to be, pod helps, but it's not like you just spend the game camping and shooting. It's been extremely fun for me so far.
It's a better experience than Nier 1 easily. Probably some of Platinum game's best work too.
