NieR Replicant: ver.1.22474487139...

Originally came out back in 2010 and it was pretty much bashed by most critics for having uninspired gameplay mechanics and repetitive enemy design and because of that not a lot of people played the game but it did gained a cult following due to it's beautifully tragic story, amazing characters and it's masterful soundtrack.

Now fast forward 11 years later after the huge success of nier automata we finally get a remaster of the original and i believe this is now one of the best jrpg's i've ever played and i've seen a lot of reviewers saying this game is not good compared to automata and that's so not true, if you look pass the 2010 design flaws (the repetitive back tracking or bland fetch quests) the game will reward you with such a rich and powerful story that's arguably even better than automata, it's so heartbreaking and sad yet so epic and satisfying specially if you go though all the endings which now has a new one and it makes the journey so perfectly complete.

Overall i can't stress enough how phenomenal this game is and i'm really glad they made this so everyone can experience just how great the original nier was and what a genius writer/director yoko taro is.

10/10 an unforgiving, unforgettable masterpiece.
