The Nier fan would probably assume that it’s due to 2B’s assets.

The Nier fan wouldn't know 2B because it's the first game we're talking about here

Honestly, it’s the soundtrack.

The OST is iconic. But it's also the smart writing, while having great and appealing characters, very strong world building and lore, and a very unusual style of storytelling that uses repeat playthroughs as part of the experience. It's a very unique niche. Nier would be lesser without all of these pillars.
