Good ole in joke smug TNL. And here I thought that was dead.

It appears that you can take control of any non-boss robot in the game. I haven't figured out how to return to your original body after doing this, other than doing a manual save/reload or committing suicide.

I really like how the game uses perspective to play with the narrative, in a way that subverts the expectations of players of the original Nier.

It really is. MC is animated as good as Alucard from SOTN. Moving around is fun. She even has a speed run similar to the wolf form.

I'm still a bit frustrated with the battle mechanics. It doesn't appear that they intended for you to use bot attacks while doing melee.

Like, you bot target with left trigger, and bot laser/special with left top button. And the camera is right analog, and melee is x and Y. Then normal bot shot is right top botton.

I'm having to do some serious hand acrobatics to fight with the robot and sword at the same time while controlling the camera.

Try the melee pod special attacks! The hammer is pretty useful, especially in the forest. And don't forget you can counterattack after doing a perfect evade. There's 3 different counters: hit R1 for a massive gun blast, and the light attack/heavy attack counters vary depending on equipped weapon.

(It took me a while to figure out the counter system; the game isn't super clear about it :/)
