Is this a good song?

oao 
I made it myself, but it's not finished, and it's heavily inspired by that new game coming out.

The rhythms and harmonies are a bit repetitive (it sounds like there's only one chord), but not really more than most other electronic music I hear. And the repetition creates a certain atmosphere that does remind me of a video game. I picture a shooter of some sort. Then you have different instruments coming in at different times and doing things that vary enough that I think it works well to break up the monotony. In other words, yes, it's good.

I noticed it's labeled as 'Boss' or something like that, which leads me to infer that it would possibly be a boss theme.
It's pretty good, would be very good as the theme played in the area before the final boss, but a lot of people would find it lack-luster.
If this was intended for a boss-level enemy, then I would suggest both designing a back story for the boss and then make something that fits. I also suggest listening to boss battle themes in video games and final boss themes. 'Shadowlord' from Nier is a very good song that fits the overall feel of the game and hints at what is really going on. 'Roar of the Departed' from Lost Odyssey really emphasizes the main antagonist's general insanity and goals. 'Dancing Mad' Part four from Final Fantasy six(?) is the best part of that whole song as it's the part where you actually face the final boss.

Now, if this wasn't meant for a boss, I'll just note that it is very good.
