    Perfect. Music is fantastic, voice acting is great, and the story actually makes you feel something.

    I like the story sooooo much, and now I have a possibility to play it for my own. Yeah, it’s game from 2010, so you need to understand that it has some “old” gameplay mechanics, but developers did the best to make this game feel more fluid. You shouldn’t miss this title!!

    Also this game has a perfect music, animation and a combat style. you must play it to feel a New and fantastic experience    … Expand

    Fantastic game.

    If you are coming from Nier Automata then you need to temper expectations as this is a slightly different game (also being a 10 year old ps3 game upgrade). There are some annoyances that players might find with the backtracking/side quests, however, don't let this put you off this wonderful game. The Story is really engaging and emotional. There are additional scenes    Fantastic game.

    The Story is really engaging and emotional. There are additional scenes added into the upgrade which really add to the story, as well as additional playable content and ending.

    The Graphics are a nice update from the original.

    The Music is phenomenal! They have remastered and enhanced the music to make it feel more orchestral and it really works! This has to be with Automata the best music in a video game if not outside of video games. Kudos to everyone involved in creating the music as it truly is masterful.

    All in all, it is a fantastic experience and it is worth experiencing for yourself!    … Expand

    Una excelente obra de Yoko Taro que todos deberían probar. Aunque no sea tan parecido al Automata, esta re-imaginación sorprende en cada uno de sus aspectos.

    If your a fan of nier automita then you'll enjoy this game. Sure the combat isn't quit as polished and there is a alot of backtracking, but if you can push past that what is left is a masterpiece story and delightful characters brilliant voice acting and a wicked soundtrack!!

    An absolute masterpiece of a game. While it does have a couple of issues, everything down to the atmosphere, music, and story far out way them. The combat is great too, much like automata's but with a nice parry mechanic. Would recommend it to anyone who's serious about video games.

    Almost everyone that plays this games and sticks with it to the meat of the story comes away having had a cathardic experiance. I personally am the typical guy that never cries, let alone at entertainment. Ive also teased other men that have cried over movies etc. But Nier made my cry!!, the music mixed with the emotional voivce acting and well writen, to the point dialouge cut me like no other stort and on more than on one occasion.
    But just cause a game makes you emotional dosent make it good. Its actually hard to pin point what makes Nier so special. Which is what left itopen to shallow cirisism in the past. Some say side quests and pacing was bad. But personally I felt those things helps to give a feeling of time passing and returning home.. Overall I hope anyone with a refined taste in games and experience with many genres and styles of games checks out Nier. Because that is who I think its for. Those that can see past the surface level and appreciate the design and intricacy in this work    … Expand

    This is such an amazing game!!! The graphics are not great but that doesn't bother me at all, what I have to give credit too is the perfect game play and the fantastic soundtrack that Nier provides, also the story is very well laid out and I can see this series going places. Yoko Taro you're a genius.

    It was suprisingly underwhelming... Automata is one of the best games I have ever played and this falls short in every aspect compared to it. Maybe I had to high expectations coming from automata but this one did not impact me as much as I hoped. It is a fun game, but extremly repetitive and tedious back and forth ruins the experience alot. Story did not capture my like automata did asIt was suprisingly underwhelming...

    After playing Nier Automata quite a while ago I was curious on the Nier Replicant Remake. After all the game has its strengths in the character story development, boss fights and cutscenes but I also still think the game lacks in other areas leading me to giving it an 8 to 8.5.

    For example the main areas are well detailed but the open world is very boring lifeless and low detailed,    After playing Nier Automata quite a while ago I was curious on the Nier Replicant Remake.

    For example the main areas are well detailed but the open world is very boring lifeless and low detailed, which is a shame considering how well done the main story areas are. Also I was very disappointed by the quality of sidequests. It is obvious that the original game is older and follows some JRPG weaknesses but emphasizes them negatively in certain parts. A simple example are quests were you continously run between A-B-A-B-A just for the sake of talking to a person. The lack of more areas, dungeons or greater connectivity between quests is hurting a lot in my opinion.

    Playing on a PS5 I was also a bit disappointed by the loading performance. In general the times are fast with maybe 5-10 seconds of loading time on average but there are so many loading sequences, elevator points or level designed loading structures that it hurts the overall game flow a lot. If loading times would ve been optimized to 1-3 seconds the game would benefit greatly. Here again it is quite obvious that the original engine is older and not perfectly optimized.

    The strengths of this game are pretty clear. The story might be strange yet it is interesting and has a strong bonding and continuity. Character and item buildup is not special but still good. Together with all the magics and weapon classes it makes up for a decent complexity. The sound design is very flat and simple whereas the OST in general is fantastic and enhances the overall atmosphere greatly.

    For the first regular ending you will need around 15 to 25 hrs depending on speed, sidequests and difficulty. The consecutive endings will take around the same on top plus some completetionist grinding tasks you have to do in order to unlock them.

    To me Nier Replicant is a very nice game that I would recommend but not at full price. As described the game has to me some ups and downs but in general is a very good and unique game. Some art and level design in this game wont be found anywhere else and make this journey worth it. I can only congratulate the developers for so much creativity.    … Expand

    Thanks to NieR Automata. Players can experience the original NieR Replicant. But that's not the ultimate experience. Drakengard series is what gave birth to NieR series. Hoping to see a new Drakengard someday or at least upgraded version of Drakengard 1 and 3. YOKO TARO should be praised more

And this is where you start if you haven’t played Automata yet, considering it’s the first game in the series and also came out first, with the original coming out in 2010. Plus, now every character, including NPCs have now been fully voice acted, which really adds to the enjoyment of Replicant and its world. Overall a great game and I highly recommend playing it. Just make sure you play it more than once.… Expand

    Played Nier: Automata in 2017 and it became one of my favorite games ever. New to this game, and it is just as masterful. Don’t let the grindiness of the side quests and weapon upgrading deter you, as it isn’t all that necessary to get the full experience in the first place. This is a unique, fascinating, incredible, and heartbreaking experience.

    This has the most beautiful soundtrack I have ever heard in a game. Automata’s score is incredible, and this somehow manages to top that. I have lost count of the number of times I found myself just idly standing around listening to Devola sing Song of the Ancients.

If you have any love for Automata’s story, you owe it to yourself to play this. Incredible, heart-wrenching stuff. The combat is not as good as Automata but still represents a massive improvement over the original game. My only complaint is that your ability to see all the game’s endings is still walled off behind arbitrarily collecting all the game’s weapons, so I would urge you to find a spoiler-free guide so as not to waste your time (there is a point of no return where you can lock yourself out of seeing all the endings if you don’t collect all the weapons from the first half of the game, so be warned). Other than that, this is a brilliantly unique, brutally sad game that fixes almost all of my major reservations about the original release.… Expand

    Nier: Replicant is a game for true fans of action JRPGs. For those who have the patience to overcome the slow start and generic environments. And who are willing to play the game several times to fully understand what it was about. They will definitely be rewarded.

    As a remake, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a bit disappointing, because in terms of graphics it only reached the level of NieR Automata, which means it doesn’t look great. The content, however, is still brilliant. It’s an amazing adventure you must experience. [06/2021, p.36]

    If anything, the amazing story of the original Nier has only become more valuable today than it already was back in the day. While many elements have received a significant update, some remain the same, but the story more than makes up for it.
