Trust me when I say you're not here for the gameplay, which is honestly tedious after a while considering you have to go through the game multiple times to get each of the endings.

What keeps you invested though is slowly learning the truth behind the world, listening to the stories behind each of the characters and becoming more attached to them. Faceless enemies being revealed to have thoughts of their own, yet you still have to kill them all the same. There's also times where you're just reading walls of text like a book, and honestly I enjoyed those parts, the stories are actually well written and vivid (especially the dream one with corpses and stuff that was cool).

Though I prefer Automata as a game, I'm quite fond of Weiss and Kainé and I did enjoy Replicant as an experience overall.
