Not very good. Taura seemed to take a cue from Nier Automata in that the game's focus is on story and presentation rather than gameplay, but that story/presentation is lacking the kind of gravitas that allows that to work for Taro's games, instead of something totally new and interesting and mysterious it's just a ripoff of Eva with stands thrown in.
The combat doesn't feel as tight as it should, your main character has a single attack button to mash similar to MGR but you can't cancel attacks into dodges so it feels sluggish. Dodges also don't have many/complete i-frames so playing reactively is heavily discouraged.
The Stands are kind of unwieldy to use which is why they auto-attack when out. Enemies don't respond much to attacks so the combat winds up becoming a skill-fest. Blue shield so you can be invincible for a while, Wolf ride so you can be invincible forever, chain bind to hold enemies, Wolf how to hold/stun enemies, you're basically using as much mez as possible to avoid typical P* combat.
If you adore Nier Automata and don't mind a P* game where combat is one of the weakest elements maybe give it a rent and see if the story does it for you, but for me this game commits terrible mistakes even from the word go. The first two stages are not fun on purpose because you don't have your powers yet. I disagree strongly with that decision and it's emblematic of the decisions made throughout the dev process.

It didn't play like any other platinum action game that's for sure but once you get used to the change it becomes absolutely fantastic.

It's fun

It's solid and the combat is rather unique which is refreshing. I think a sequel where they can build on this base would be awesome.
Xavier Gomez
Very solid, combat and bosses become great towards the end, music and art design are fantastic
Non combat sections and the writing are pretty bad though

Main character is literally Lloyd Bannings.

How would you make a sequel when the guy doing it all is dead and his tang plan failed
The timeline from the art book even says they close all the portals, even the ones on the moon, and repopulate earth within like 50 years
Story's over, bruv. It was barely there to begin with.
