“This is a tough one for me, since my score fluctuated so much over the course of my time with it. I'm landing at 9/10 overall. On one hand, the story and presentation are excellent. I was drawn heavily into the world…”

“Good main story and fun gameplay, but whoever designed the sidequests can burn in hell they almost all suck massive ass besides a tiny handful.”

“This is a very bad game. It does so many things that waste your time that it's difficult to recall them all but chiefly you will walk between places a lot, visit the same people over and over because quests never appear…”
“I came to this game from Nier Automata and it didn't disappoint. I liked it almost as much as automata, though it did have some frustrating requirements for material grinding. The free yorha dlc helps alleviate some of…”

“A masterpiece and i've only finished two endings so far, cannot wait to complete c, d and e.”

“i really am not one to leave games unfinished, but the amount of running around feels so unnecessary. The game even jokes about it Weiss, saying that let's hope we don't need to run around anymore. I just don't want to…”

“I'm gonna tell it like it is and say that this game gets very boring when you reach the 2nd half of the game. You companions do little to no damage. (why even take them along if they're that useless?) The enemies in the…”

“A very good game. I finished Automata before Replicant, but it didn't matter at all. It’s perhaps a bit more repetitive than Automata, especially regarding the endings.”
“I really wanted to like this game and for some parts I did. But some parts really pissed me off, so I'm not recommending to buy this, unless it's on a hefty discount, I'm petty like that. Pros: -Amazing soundtrack…”
“The game is a very long, boring, grindfest. Very repetitive too in terms of constantly revisiting past areas to fetch more stuff. Environments and maps are very simple. Having to replay the game multiple times for the…”

“Fantastic music, good story and most importantly it connects to Nier Automata. Deeply flawed though.. The multiple playthroughs gets boring REALLY quickly. Lot of boring side quests and slop in general. The true ending…”
“The only way to enjoy this game is to have ChatGPT summarize Drakengard and Replicants lore for you while listening to the OST. Playing the game is a horrible nightmare. Also Kaine sucks.”

“Game is great. Music is phenomenal. Fighting is mid. And optimization is very poor. Use Special K to make it playable.”
“download special k to fix the lag spikes if on controller otherwise peak story”

“NieR automata feels like you're losing your closest friends and NieR replicant feels like you're getting your family ripped away from you every time you turn your head. Amazing game 100% recommend”
— a player, Steam review · 70 hrs played“A flawed masterpiece, aged mechanics and a lot of back tracking but man is this story worth all the hurdles. Top tier OST rivalling Automata's.”
— a player, Steam review · 43 hrs played“NieR Replicant is an amazing game! The story is by far the best aspect of this game and it's worth every minute played. Despite loving the game, I recognize it's far from perfect and here's what I think is a bit more on the negative side of things: - This PC port isn't great and…”
