If you’ve been playing RPGs over the past decade, chances are that you’ve heard of Nier. I first played the sequel, Nier Automata a few years ago, and it was this masterpiece that grabbed me hook line and sinker. It was one of those games that left me wanting more, so naturally, I started looking high and low for the original Nier (which was harder than I thought).
Eventually, I gave up my search, wishing that a remaster would be announced in the future. In March 2020, my wish was granted. Nier Replicant, ver.1.22474487139 was announced as a remaster of the original game. This remaster has improvements to the visuals and gameplay, extra story content, and is now completely voice acted, and it’s these additions that make Nier Replicant the best way to play the game.
