    This game was always amazing and its a dream come true to get an updated version. This story is one of the most emotional and experimental stories ever told and I dont think it could work on any other medium..

    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

    I just got done with part B which I think is far enough to actually write a review.

    I ducked most of this game ever since I completed NieR: Automata (still need to do some side quests) 2-3 years ago. Cons: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -You can only change SOME of the controls and no photo mode.

    Cons:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -You can only change SOME of the controls and no photo mode.

    These aren't THAT big of a deal and it's more of a general complaint..but still it'd be nice to see those implemented.

    Other than that..I can't really think of much. Some complained that it was too slow at first...but playing through it...I was fine with this.

    Another thing....I'm fine with replaying stuff if it adds more context (or im playing it again a year or two later) but replaying all this to play as Kaine for 50-70 minutes? I don't know, man...
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Everything else is a pro!

    The music...there's PLENTY of good soundtracks out there...but NieR beats all of them (except maybe one).

    -The combat
    -The feel
    -So many of the characters...they were so well told. Even ones with no official voice lines...I really felt for them. Perspective and context are everything.

    If there was one franchise I'd recommend to a person looking for a story that will move them..make them think...something that doesn't follow the typical story beats..it'd be this one. Before Red Dead 2...Horizon Zero Dawn, The Witcher, etc

    It's a story about humanity, love, sacrifice and like I mentioned before perspective and context.

    Despite some things here and there I'd change...I'm still giving this a 10

    I was looking forward to it for YEARS and didn't disappoint...I can't ask for anything else (except more about Devola and Popola!)    … Expand

    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!!

    This game is awesome so far, put in a good 20 hrs its just objectively better that the one we got originally.

I cant wait to get all endings again i detect another game to Platinum :D (Also cant wait for the next game in this fantastic series, and tbh i would take another Drakengaurd as well please )… Expand

    This is a very strange game.
    I don't want to do it, but I don't want to quit. The story is very dark, hard and sad. But if I don't play this game, I keep thinking of this game.

    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.
