NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is the Remastered version of NIER.
As a massive fan of NieR: Automata and as someone who didn't play the original version of this game, I was very excited to play NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...
I'm gonna start off from the most important part of the game; the story.
While NieR: Automata's story emphasizes on it's themes, NieR Replicant's story emphasizes on it's characters. In NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139..., the story has been expanded with a new story arc and an additional ending. Overall, NieR Replicant has a phenomenal story, one that brought me to tears many times; maybe even more so than NieR: Automata's.
The gameplay is neither as experimental nor as fluid as in NieR: Automata but the combat system is quite similar and the Sealed Verses are more interesting than the Pod Programs.
The main characters surprised me; they're absolutely wonderful, some of the best JRPG main characters I've seen in a while.
Visually, the game isn't impressive but it looks fine and the music is outstanding.
Just like in NieR: Automata though, a single playthrough won't be enough to finish the entire story of the game. Unfortunately for NieR Replicant, you need to collect every weapon in the game in order to get the true ending of the story and it starts getting tiring after a while.
Also, the side-quests are very uninteresting and dated.
Pros:
+ Incredible narrative
+ Fun gameplay
+ Awesome characters
+ Fantastic music
Cons:
- Tedious requirements for the true ending
- Slightly outdated graphics
- Weak side-quests
Narrative: 10/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Content: ?/10
Characters: 9/10
Music: 10/10
Graphics/Audio: 7/10
Final Rating: 9/10
- Amazing -
If it wasn't for the tedious requirements and some outdated elements, I would've given NieR Replicant an even higher final rating.
Still, this is a special videogame experience and at the end of the day, I really wish there were more games like NieR: Automata and NieR Replicant.
Do I recommend it?:
Yes! Especially to the fans of the series.
