NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 Reviews
If nothing else, NieR: Replicant Ver. 1.22474487139 is a unique game even when held in contrast with its 2017 follow-up and a must-play for both fans of the original and those looking for something a little darker than a Final Fantasy or any number of anime-inspired JRPG titles.
NieR Replicant ver1.
It's probably not going to win over haters of the original, but for returning fans or those who jumped in at Automata this is a fantastic update to a cult classic game that also happens to bring with it some very exciting new surprises.
It would have been preferable if the dialogue sequences had a bit more cinematic flair to them instead of characters talking in flat wide shots, or if there was an option for the original soundtrack. While still deeply flawed, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… is still highly recommended for its depressing existential scenario that makes players look at RPGs in a different way.
Nier Replicant tells a deep, nostalgic story that can only happen within the confines of video games, as parts of the story needs to be felt by actually experiencing the gameplay, and eventually leaves its audience with lots of moral dilemma.

Great remaster with some new additions and a few flaws of the original.

Visually and musically, we are witnessing a high-quality product, but unfortunately artificial intelligence along with sub-missions are among the main weaknesses of NieR Replicant's reconstruction.

In one word, Nier Replicant Remaster is "amazing". I'm glad that Yoko Taro's amazing Nier, finally got the praise and attention it deserves. It is the best time for experiencing Nier with this remastered version (either you play the base game in 7th generation or not), because of the fascinating additions and upgrades it has seen.

NieR Replicant see. 122474487139... is a true masterpiece. Toylogic has managed to polish all the sections in which the original title failed, offering on this occasion a practically round product, putting the icing on a splendid story and a soundtrack that we will surely hear outside the game.

NieR Replicant 1.22 is an outstanding remake and an excellent action RPG in its own right. Combat is fast paced, focused, and well varied between three distinct weapon types and eight magic spells. Dungeons appear simple but their design is deceptively clever, and they carry a Legend of Zelda-esque charm to them. The visuals are greatly improved from the original, from character models to background details. Bosses are downright bombastic, masterfully juggling tense battles with visceral set pieces. The story is simply beautiful, making brilliant use of music to amplify already deeply emotional storytelling. Above all else, Replicant plays into concepts only possible in a video game - leading to a genuinely unforgettable experience. If you only play one game this year, make it NieR Replicant 1.22.
An ambitious game with a big heart, that makes up for its limited budget with a plethora of ideas and characters and stories, and a remaster that does more than spruce up a classic. A must-play for those who played the original as well as those whose introduction to the series was with Automata.

Nier Replicant 1.22474487139… gives the cult game a second chance. Technical improvements make the experience much better than the original without changing its essense, and new content nurtures Yoko Taro universe, although, it didn't age well.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a production aimed mainly at fans of the original Nier and Slot Machines, who would like to know how it all began. If you're not familiar with the universe, you can bounce back from the game, but give this game a chance and you won't regret it.

Despite being a great game and a worthwhile remake, NieR Replicant ver.1.22 is not for everyone. Some of the dated design elements are frustrating and needlessly time consuming. The story, while incredible, is locked away behind multiple playthroughs and endings, with its true value being entirely subjective depending on how much time you’re willing to invest. However, none of this is news to fans of NieR: Automata. Put simply, if you’ve been waiting for a deeper, darker dive into the world of NieR, ver.1.22 will not disappoint.
Regardless of the protagonist, NieR is a remarkable piece of art, and this remaster touches up the issues people had with the original without compromising what made it such an impactful work. It’s going to be interesting to see if people give it the look that it deserves this time around, because this really is the greatest game of all time, and has always deserved more than “cult” status.
Nier Replicant morphs into an engrossing and deeply affecting experience that puts forth a new and improved approach to combat worth mastering.
Remaster NieR admires not as much as NieR: Automata, because of the ragged pace of storytelling. But it is still a good action with a wonderful plot, which benefited from improvements in the gameplay.

NieR Replicant Ver. 1.22474487139 is an upgraded version of the original NieR, and it improves on almost all aspects to offer something for both newcomers and veterans alike.
NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… is the best starting point to discover one of the greatest franchises ever made by Square Enix in recent times. The title is much more than a simple remaster, correcting the main flaws that its original version had, while raising it to a level close to that of its successor. It is gratifying to know that such a title has finally been able to see the light of day again after spending years stuck on a platform.

Nier Replicant Ver.1.22474487139... is the best way to play a genuinely amazing game. The flaws of the original version have been smoothed out some more, and while it still struggles with tedium and grind, the bright spots stand out. Even if you're not traditionally into JRPGs, I can recommend Nier because its unique story and tremendous voicework make it stand out as an extremely well-told tale. Be prepared to curse the designer who decided that one of the most common items you need to upgrade weapons has what feels like a 1% drop rate.
