I know most of the Nier talk is about how good the story is but the gameplay stuff is what I liked the most about it. I've never really liked playing character action games, but the simplicity of this one made it fun for me and the different weapons kept it fresh. I don't want to give away too much, but the "other playthroughs" (in quotes because they're more like separate episodes than ng+) do some really cool stuff that I've never really seen in games gameplay and story-wise.
I paused the video when I saw the house burning in Tomba 2 to listen to the song House Burning Down and then the army guy in a different demo was talking about turning the sky hellfire red which is similar to a lyric in the aforementioned song.
