Nier: Replicant ver.1.22474487139 or Nier: Replicant remake for short, is a Remake of the first game before the fantastic Nier: Automata. (1.22474487139 is the square root of 1.5)
The game is a remake of Nier: Replicant, a spin-off based on a joke ending of the game Drakenguard. As if that wasn't enough, the original game had two versions, with the only difference being that in the Western version you controlled the father instead of the brother of the girl (Nier: Gestalt or simply Nier).
In the prologue, you control a young boy in a world dying from a magical disease, who, in an attempt to protect his sick sister, makes a pact with a magical book. Many years later, the actual game begins, where you control a young boy in a world suffering from a magical disease, who, in an attempt to protect his sick sister, makes a pact with a magical book. The madness of creator Yoko Taro is evident from the start, with each village you encounter being stranger than the previous one and a story that darkens your soul as it progresses. Like in Taro's other games, to learn the true story and see the real ending, you have to finish the game multiple times, each time with differences that shed light on the story (routes). The only downside is the very slow start, as in the first half of the game, the bar hasn't been raised enough yet to make you interested in the Story. In this Remake, apart from some additional Sidequests, a part of the story that was cut in the original has been added, as well as an Extra Ending E after completing everything else.
The gameplay, which was the weak point of the first game, has been reworked to be closer to Automata, while still retaining the identity and all the mechanics of the first game, greatly improving them with the help of Platinum Games members. Every button responds instantly, you can now sprint, unleash magic from the air, switch weapons, and kill fallen enemies with just one button press, among other things.
The graphics are very good, and all character models have been rebuilt to resemble their concept art more. All dialogues are now voice acted, except for the Light Novel sections (those who have played it know), and the fantastic music has been re-recorded with a real orchestra. As for the backtracking in the game, now at least you have something beautiful to look at.
Finally, the game includes all the costumes and DLC, equally remade. If you are a fan of Nier Automata, this is a must. Some parts may feel dated, but it has an equally deep story if you complete all the endings, and now with good graphics, gameplay, and extra content to support it.
______________________________________________________________
Hints for beginners:
* The beginning is slow, but after the middle of the game, an event occurs that cancels most of the sidequests you haven't done, and even the next routes start from the middle, so access to this part is lost forever. The game doesn't require you to do all the sidequests for achievements (in fact, it mocks you if you do too many), but some of them have very nice stories and some reward you with abilities. PRIORITIZE ALL WEAPONS FOR THE TRUE ENDING! I don't know if the weapons from part 1 will be available in Part 2.
* If an enemy falls to the ground, you can press "O" next to them to kill them instantly. It is useful for enemies with a lot of life or armor.
* If an enemy has Armor, try to break it with magic like Dark Hand, if many small enemies are gathered Dark phantasm, if they are scattered Dark Blast, and if they fill the arena with projectiles then use Dark wall. In short, experiment with magic!
* Your vine grows in real time. Don't bother with it more than once a day.
* For Ending A, simply finish the game.
For Ending B, finish the game on route B.
For Ending C & D, finish the game on route C having collected ALL 33 WEAPONS of the main game. Choose to kill the final boss for Ending C, or not kill it for Ending D, which deletes your save.
For the new Ending E, after completing Ending D, start a new game with a DIFFERENT NAME from the previous one. Once you reach the Boss Fight in the Aerie village, something different will happen and a new story will begin for Ending E, which will allow you to restore your lost save at the end.
It is the same game as the one that was released 10 years ago. Interesting, yes, it focuses more on the characters with their own story, if you like hack and slash you will enjoy it. If you are a fan of the series even more. The side quests were tiresome and some were unnecessary, I would say. Also, what I didn't like were the puzzles with the texts as they took me out of the flow of the game. The music is very nice, the controls are easy. The extra ending fully compensates you!
The game is worth its money!!! And more than that!!
If you are a fan of hack and slash games, you will find it perfect!! I won't talk at all about its music... Simply the best... Its story is interesting and emotional... Just like its predecessor Nier Automata, the prequel Nier Replicant is the same in terms of music, story, and gameplay
Excellent game. Although its graphics are not top-level, they represent perfectly what this specific franchise stands for. It has amazing landscape alternations and generally offers many possibilities if you explore it enough. Personally, I like it as much as NieR Automata. The only thing that bothers me a little is the absence of a decent teleportation system, and you have to run around for the first half of the game. However, the distances are not that big, and in the second half, an alternative method of fast movement is provided.
Anyone who played Automata and liked it must play this one too. The story here is more based on the exceptional characters, as opposed to Automata which is more based on broader human themes. The soundtrack is a masterpiece, as expected from Keiichi Okabe, and the combat is a great upgrade from the original. The only negative for me is the sidequests, mainly because of the endless back and forth as there is no fast travel for a large part of the game. Nevertheless, it is worth it and more for those who find beauty in Yoko Taro's creations.
I am one of those who have not played the original version of the game and started with Automata.
NieR: Automata is one of the best videogames I have ever played, and as a big fan of the game, I couldn't leave Replicant aside.
First of all, I want to say that the story of Automata is one of the best stories I have experienced in a videogame. I expected a lot from Replicant... And it managed to satisfy me. Personally, I prefer the story of Automata a little more and it impressed me more, while the story of Replicant focuses more on its characters... Something it does better than Automata.
It is also worth mentioning that this version of NieR Replicant has added content and a new ending that did not exist in the original version.
The main characters of NieR Replicant are excellent in my opinion and I liked all of them.
The battle system seemed very entertaining to me and I liked it more than I expected.
The music is amazing, just like in Automata. Expected, of course, because it is impossible for this series to fail in the music department.
The technical aspect is not impressive, but it does its job correctly.
Unfortunately or fortunately, these games do not end in the first playthrough.
The issue with NieR Replicant is that you have to deal with various side quests and do grinding in order to access the true ending of the game. It's not as bad as it sounds, but it can be a bit tiring.
To sum it up: Wonderful story with excellent characters, enjoyable battle system, amazing music, and decent technical aspect, but mandatory grinding for the completion of the story.
In the end, NieR Replicant is a fantastic game, although I consider it slightly inferior to Automata.
For those planning to complete the game's story, don't worry, the grinding might tire you a bit, but it's worth it.
So far, it is definitely one of the best games I have played in 2021.
First of all, I want to say how grateful I am for the Remaster or whatever it is, as I never played the original due to technical issues and also because I didn't want to control a dad in sandals.
If you enjoyed Automata for the story, the music, and the craziness, then you have definitely bought it. If you want booties like with 2B, then you will get a sweetness until you are disappointed. I won't go into details because of spoilers. Gameplay is good, but not better than Automata. They didn't want to achieve that. However, if you played the OG, then yes, it is much better than back then.
Yoko Taro, we tattoo your name!!
Game for a few.. If you appreciate Nier: Automata for the way it speaks to you and not for 2B's thighs, then Replicant will not disappoint you. The difference is that this particular game focuses more on the story itself and the characters, while Automata uses these two elements to touch on more background issues. Masterpiece with both of them
Similar scenario but equally addictive gameplay, it will definitely be among the best games of the year because many voluntarily fail, like Cyberpunk for example.
This game is the best and is a direct contender for GOTY 2021. It is a masterpiece that few will play and even fewer will appreciate for what it is. It has a brilliant story, incredible soundtrack, and an amazing way of presenting them.
