It's philosophical in roughly the same way The Matrix is - whereas that was "Plato's Cave as a sci-fi action movie", NieR is "Existentialism 101 as a sci-fi video game".
I liked it a lot more than GP did but if you don't have a high tolerance for anime BS (e.g. can you deal with the fact that the protagonist is a sexy lady robot samurai in a skimpy maid outfit?) or have actually spent any serious time reading philosophy, the anime BS is going to overwhelm and/or the philosophical themes are going to underwhelm.
