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.

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.

Ver 1.22 had the chance to take a cult classic and make it one of the best games in recent memory, but instead I'm left wondering what could have been; just like eleven years ago.

NieR Replicant continues to function as a precursor to the triumph that would follow with Automata, but with its renewed gameplay mechanics its now an even more pleasant experience, telling a story that some players may love even more than Automata's.

It's, without any doubt, a game out of it's time, specially considering that some of the most bold decisions were better executed in the sequel, but other than that what an emotional journey.

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.‎

For better of for worse, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 is pretty much what it was so many years ago. If you didn’t like the original release, then this won’t do much to convince you otherwise, and if you are coming from Automata, this is a weaker game in a lot of ways.

NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139… is a pitch perfect update to one of the greatest stories ever told in the medium. Combat feels fast and fluid, much like players' tears once they finish the game. The new content feels natural, magic is more useful than ever, and the reprised music and voice over bring the world to life.

NieR: Replicant ver.1.22474487139… brings us back to simpler times of 2010 and reminds us the roots of the series. This remaster aims to bring NieR: Replicant to wider audiences and it does just that. Visuals are improved, gameplay stays relatively the same.

To sum it all up, this is by far the best version you will get of the 2010 classic, and if you are a fan of Automata and wish to see how it started, this is a must buy and I thoroughly recommend a full playthrough. For those dipping their toes into the series, I would say give the first playthrough a shot and see if it grabs you, as it still has enough enjoyable factors without subsequent playthroughs to be a great JRPG on its own right, kinks and all. Its characters shine through its more middling combat and story to make me care how it’s going to end, and what ties it has to the sequel.

Nier Replicant ver. 1.22474487139 is a beautiful take on the original game. The story is compelling and the soundtrack really takes over the game and brings it to another level. Though it might not be as great as Nier : Automata, fans of the genre will enjoy the experience and remember it for a long time.

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.

Overall, Nier Replicant is an excellent game that brings the fantastic world of Nier to the masses. The original game was a cult classic hidden gem and hopefully now that it’s far more accessible to far more gamers, it’ll achieve the success status it rightfully deserves.

Nier Replicant gets a new lease on life complete with a combat system and graphical overhaul resulting in a game that's actually fun to play. More importantly, it allows the emotional and amazing story-telling to shine even more. Backtracking complaints aside, this is one game you have to experience for yourself.

A great game to discover (or rediscover) Yoko Taro's world and the atmosphere of the NieR series. The remake work is not among the best and certainly some choices are questionable, such as keeping the tedious fetch quests, but it remains an exciting and valuable epic and that's why it's a recommended game to play.

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

While still a bit dated in some areas NieR Replicant ver.1.2247448713R9… improves upon nearly every aspect of the original and helps it shine as one of Yoko Taro’s signature works.
