1.22 and completed all five endings, I feel I can bring a unique perspective when reviewing this game as someone who has never played the original Nier and only has Nier:Automata as a frame of reference. I myself am in the new wave of Nier fans who were introduced to the series through Nier:Automata, and the remastered Nier was easily one of my most anticipated releases this year knowing that I could experience the original story with updated graphics and gameplay more in line with Automata. 1.22, introducing Nier’s humble roots to fans who overlooked the game back in 2010. This positive twist of fate is surely what sparked the development of Nier Replicant Ver. The game generated tremendous interest in Yoko Taro’s previous works and built a large new audience of fans eager to experience the next chapter in the Nier universe. The staggering success of Nier:Automata rejuvenated the Nier series with newfound attention and relevance, and the series today could not be further from coming to an uneventful end. Rehashing my review of the game (the first review I published on this blog), I certainly share these same feelings and I believe that Nier:Automata is a title that truly captures the magic of video games and what the medium is capable of delivering. Nier:Automata, in contrast to its predecessor, was one of the most critically acclaimed titles released in the last decade and many gamers and critics alike would call it a generation-defining title. Seven years later, Nier:Automata was released. It seemed realistic at the time that the first Nier game would also be the last, relegated to nothing more than a “hidden gem” largely forgotten by most of the gaming world. Nier only managed to rack up a meagre number of sales and win over a cult following of fans shortly after its release. However, these strengths could not mask the game’s clunky combat and poor graphics, which were panned by critics and likely drove many players away from trying the game. The original game, released in 2010, had some legitimately unique qualities like multiple endings, a stellar soundtrack, and a blend of different gameplay styles.
