Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... doesn't fix the original game's flaws but, from a technical stand point, serves finally justice to an underestimated and obscure cult

Padded and tedious, but engrossing and enjoyable. NieR Replicant occupies a strange spot in the gaming pantheon.

Nier Replicant Ver. 1.22474487139 is not a remake but neither a simple remastered. It's an enhanced version that fixes some of the original game's issues and delivers a bunch of new content, but does nothing to refresh its dated approach to world and quest design.

NieR Replicant ver.1.2247444487139... is an update of the cult hit that, despite what it may seem at first glance, represents an excellent way to approach the classic. An update that focuses on combat and technical aspects while keeping the structure and essence of the original intact. As chaotic as it is brilliant.

NieR Replicant can feel too slow at parts, but it’s a journey well worth taking (over and over and over). Its story is moving and asks big questions about the nature of humanity, and playing it in 2021 really opened my eyes to how ahead of its time this game must have been in 2010. Combine that story with some kinetic combat, absorbing atmosphere and characters, and a haunting score and you have one of the year’s strongest experiences. It’s held back somewhat by its overly-simplistic mission structure and reliance on backtracking, but the good easily outweighs the bad. NieR Replicant, like its sequel, is a game that makes you think, feel, and dream—all while giving players a very enjoyable gaming experience. It’s the textbook definition of a flawed masterpiece, overcoming its weaknesses to deliver something compelling and affirming.

NieR Replicant hits home thanks to some amazing combat and an intriguing story that keeps you entertained throughout. Although the story does drag a little sometimes there is a lot to love, especially thanks to the different endings.

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.

This game is really more than the sum of its parts. The overall experience, from the character development, the devastating and mind-reeling revelations that plot throws at you, and even the new bits of content specially made for this game make it worthwhile.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… improves the original in a right and very careful way that transforms the slightly jank title into a much more enjoyable experience. However, not even the best remaster or remake could change the fact that NieR demands plenty of benevolence from its players.

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.

A solid and respectful adaptation for current gen systems of a cult classic, overlooked ten years ago but still worthy of our time.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 ... envelops you with its dark and melancholy fantasy atmosphere. The plot may be simple, but the way of telling the story has a great impact - it is difficult not to feel uncomfortable with the twists and turns provided by different points of view. As an action RPG, NieR is competent and offers good moments of exploration and combat, but some issues, such as limited and constantly repeated content, compromise the experience. The countless improvements in visuals and mechanics make the game more palatable, but dubious design decisions remain untouched. In the end, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… is a title full of imperfections which requires a lot of dedication, however the journey is worth it.

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.
