NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a fantastic celebration of a game that, even after a decade, feels unmatched in how it tells its incredibly unique story. The visual overhaul is excellent, and the combat better than ever. However, some archaic quest design acts as a deft reminder that this is a game from ten years ago. Without a doubt, though, this is the best way to experience NieR where it all began.

There aren’t many games like NieR Replicant, and I’m not just talking about in the modern era, but since 2010 as a whole. Whatever power that be helped Yoko Taro become world-famous, to the point where he can keep making these weird masterpieces, in any format: thank you.

The Final Word NieR Replicant is a brilliant game despite its tedious sidequests. The characters and world of Replicant are instantly memorable and enjoyable to follow, while the music and environments suit the harsh story perfectly. I wish there were better side-quests and a bit more variation in playthroughs, but overall, I highly recommend NieR Replicant.

I loved the original. I love this remake. And if you’ve never played the original or you did, you owe it to yourself to give this one a check. It’s a game that was always good made that much better, and it’s going to stick with you a long time after the credits roll on the final ending.

Gamers weren't quite ready for Yoko Taro's NieR back in 2010, but now the now cult classic is getting another chance in the way it was originally intended. On top of additional content and bonuses not found in the original, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... features a beautifully melancholy narrative that is equal parts gut-wrenching and heartfelt, all of which is very worth experiencing.

NieR Replicant overall is a successful remaster, with a bit of spit and polish improving many facets of the original game, but with some of the negatives unfortunately carrying over as well. The end result is an action RPG that will keep most players entertained for many hours, as the story, combat, and characters outweigh the boredom of Replicant’s sometimes repetitive gameplay.

NieR Replicant was always an odd title that was great both in spite of and because of its limitations. Many of those oddities remain in Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139..., but it's a more refined experience on the whole that doesn't feel quite so awkward when placed alongside the superb NieR Automata.  Now, if only they could get around to remaking the Drakengard series...

We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.

Not all of the original Nier Replicant flaws have been dealt with, but what’s there is enough to make the remaster a more compelling Action RPG.

The original NieR launched way back in 2010, and despite middling reviews at the time, it gained a cult following over the years. Like many, my introduction to the franchise was with the near (no pun intended) perfect NieR Automata: a cocktail of amazing gameplay, stunning world design, and an emotionally charged story. Whilst Automata was my introduction to the franchise I didn’t go in completely blind, researching the insane and ridiculously complicated and convoluted bit lovable and enga...

Nier: Automata’s road to what it became started here. The enhancements made to Replicant put it nearly in the same league as its sequel, whereas the original was a far cry from Automata’s greatness. The characters, the story, soundtrack, and enhanced combat give Replicant the much-needed push to hav
