Similar to NIER, the opening quote and cutscenes set the tone for the game: Crass, violent, and often inscrutable.
( I have a clearly-marked warning before I get into plot spoilers. )
Overall: The mechanics of this series will always have their glaring flaws: This is a beat-em-up with a lot of repetitive areas and monsters that will make it clear that it hates you. But it’s much more playable than the first two. You can’t play it with kids in the room, though I never found it disturbing the way the first game was. But man, I do love the world building. I’m going off to read aaaaall the fan theories now.
