What an interesting story sounds like an easy recommend for the deck.
I enjoyed the game, both the story and the mechanics. The boss fights felt epic. I wouldn't rave about it though as like death stranding I don't think it's for everyone.

No mainstream for sure, but this as well as Desth Stranding are both a piece of art.
Any specific parameters recommended for running on the steamdeck? I know its in my library somewhere but I haven't loaded it on the deck yet.
Nothing except pressing play nowadays.
Really good game! I actually run on Reddit two subs for the series (r/drakengard and r/okbuddyyorha) so it's really neat to see this recommendation here and it's pretty solid.
I would say though that this game is a standalone sequel to NieR Replicant (also amazing), and while you can play either in any order, I think the experience is better if played after Replicant. That said, both run pretty well on the Deck and both go on sale often!
Shameless plug, if you like the series, we also have an instance for the series at lemm.ee/c/nier. Anyways
Thank you! :)
I played this for a few hours a couple of years back as I had heard so many rave reviews about it.
I got to the first boss I but it didn't really click with me, did I not give it enough of a chance or something? Does gameplay/story improve as it goes on?
Yes, play again, you won't be disappointed
Wow, that's crazy (in a good way). For me, it was hard even to get really into the game. Started it 3 times from the beginning either becaused it confused me or because of relevant dxvk updates. But afterwards it really caught me until the end. Unfortunately we had to wait too long for the sequel NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... (lol) which is a predecessor from the PS3 area. I still have to get into Replicant now
