NieR Replicant: ver.1.22474487139...

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; 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 are wonderful! They're probably some of my favorite characters in a while. I gotta admit, this is the only game I've played that made me cry because of the music; it's absolutely incredible! Visually, the game isn't impressive, but it looks good enough. Just like in NieR: Automata, 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 gets a bit boring after a while. Also, the side-quests are very uninteresting and outdated.

Pros: + Superb narrative + Great gameplay + Excellent characters + Fantastic music + Nice visuals

Cons:

• Tedious requirements for the true ending
• Weak side-quests

Narrative: 10/10 Gameplay: 8/10 Content: ?/10 Characters: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Graphics/Audio: 8/10

Final Rating: 9.5/10

• Outstanding -

If it wasn't for the tedious requirements, I would probably give NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... a perfect score. Still, this is truly an exceptional videogame experience, and at the end of the day, I really wish there were more games like NieR: Automata and NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...

Do I recommend it?: Yes! Especially to the fans of the series.
