ninkendo 04/22/21 8:17:24 AM #1:	https://opencritic.com/game/11154/nier-replicant-ver-1-22474487139 Reviews starting to trickle in to an 85 average so far. It's the same game from 2010, but now it looks and plays much better with a ton of new content including an all new 5th ending. I already know how good this game was. It's definitely one of my top 10 PS3 games. I'm interested in seeing though people who maybe started with Automata and are now coming to this for the first time. IGN - 8/10 As a Version Up of the original Nier, Replicant Ver. 1.22 does a respectable job of updating the graphics and combat of the 2010 cult classic to a more modern standard by dramatically improving its environments, animations, and performance, while also going the extra mile and adding excellent voice acting to every single character in its world. It definitely shows its age in its combat and quest design, however, and while the improvements to combat certainly help smooth things out it still suffers from repetitive enemies, mundane sidequests, and a lack of evolution over the course of the 35 to 40-hour adventure youll need to complete to see all the endings. Just push through it and get to whats truly excellent about Nier Replicant: its story and characters, both of which are still among the strongest Ive seen in the genre. Gamespot - 8/10 I'm not going to lie, Nier Replicant made me ugly-cry on several occasions. Kain, Emil, and Weiss will win your heart with their earnest and endearing personalities, making their tragic journey with you and tremendous story moments hit hard. Despite some significant gameplay enhancements, the lengths you have to go to see the story all the way through will be a test of your willpower. But for all its antiquated designs retained from the original version, it's worth the effort in the end. Thus, Nier Replicant is essential for anyone who has love for Automata, and it's a special experience on its own. Game Informer - 8.25/10 Despite some dated shortcomings, this version upgrade is more than the sum of its parts. Novel design choices like camera and genre shifts are as impressive today as they were more than 10 years ago. Main characters are dynamic with their own interesting backstories, and the plot is as deliciously devastating as youd expect. Nier Replicant might not convert players that were turned off by the original or Automata, but there are more than enough quality-of-life updates and story-centric nuances to keep longtime fans and new initiates coming back for subsequent playthroughs. Polygon If youre a fan of the series, and you can respect the audacity of these decade-old ideas, Nier Replicant is the best appetizer yet for whatever main course Square Enix will inevitably serve in the future. But for newcomers or casual fans, the caveat stands: Nier Replicant is worth the time, but only if you have plenty of time to spend. Destructoid - 8.5/10 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. Twinfinite - 4.5/5 Playing through NieR Replicant felt like a fever dream at times, in the same way that NieR: Automatas reveal at the very first E3 Id attended felt like a fever dream. Its a testament to how special NieR is for it to have endured solely in the hearts and minds of its most dedicated fans for a decade, only to explode into a phenomenon that has kept the video game community talking and debating over it long after the credits have rolled. The rough edges of the original release are still present in NieR Replicant, but its clear that this game and the series as a whole will no longer just be another faded memory. Noisy Pixel - 10/10 Nier: Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a beautiful experience and exactly how you should play this amazing game. Upon finishing, it's easy to say that it is unequivocally one of the best games I have ever played. This story emotionally moves players with the help of its character-writing, intense action, and somber tone, making it easy to immerse yourself in their world. --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:953102390] in NieR Repli...

It's a legitimate problem (for people with monitors above 60hz, anyway) since it can cause your game to literally run at double/triple speed, as if you were fast-forwarding a video. Again though, it's easily fixed. You can just open up Nvidia Control Panel or whatever other software and limit the frame rate to 60 fps. --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! <cite>Xiahou Shake posted [p:953158089] in NieR Repli...

tcaz2 04/28/21 3:26:00 AM #45:	What do you guys mean Automata doesn't spoil this one? Yes it does, quite a lot in fact <_< ~~It spoils the entirety of what Project Gestalt is, everything about the shades and the replicants and that Devola and Popola are androids tasked with overseeing the project.~~ Conversely the only thing the OG Nier spoils about Automata is that ~~humanity is dead beforehand~~ which isn't even that big of a spoiler for that game and is very easily guessed even with no knowledge of the original. Automata doesn't spoil the character moments, though. Either way you should definitely play Replicant first if you're planning on possibly playing both. <cite>tcaz2 posted [p:953312259] in NieR Repli...

BlackMageJawa 04/30/21 7:23:28 PM #47:	I've not got Replicant yet, but I've seen it said that the new content for Ending E ties into Automata somewhat, and is written with the assumption that you've played that game. So the play order would be Replicant (Endings A-D) -> Automata > Replicant (Ending E). I'd also strongly recommend reading The Dark Id's screenshot LP of Drakengard before playing NieR. I would not recommend playing Drakengard, however. --- The shattered stage is set and there's a role you must fulfil <cite>BlackMageJawa posted [p:953418079] in NieR Repli...
