I bought this game knowing that it's inferior to the PS4/XBOX versions, but getting to play it again, it doesn't look bad at all!!! I'm extremely impressed with this port and I am surprised it was able to fit in a cart!

Besides being a smoking hot fem bot, this is probably the best game I've played in a long time. Now it's available on Switch and it runs great! Also, amazing story that hits in the feels, fantastic music and real characters that tear at your soul when things happen to them. Roller coaster of emotions and hot androids.

Came in at an excellent time, and in good condition. Love the series, and so happy I can play on my switch. The frame rate did drop, but it doesn't distract from the game. It still plays surprisingly really well.

Played this on PS4 and PC and got all endings. Doing it again especially on the go and it runs surprisingly well.
Makes me wonder if they’ll port Replicant to the Switch somewhere down the road.

this is a great port to the Nintendo switch. the game play was solid as the PlayStation version. however the graphic do take a hit in some area of the game, it is noticeable. beside the graphic, everything is the exact same as the playstion version. i would recommend if you enjoy the portable play on the Nintendo siwtch, but if you prefer better graphics then the playstion version is the one you should buy for this game.

Not sure why this port is getting such high praises. This game had been on my wishlist FOREVER but i heard mixed things about the PC port, so opted for the Switch. I’m also a big fan of having physical game copies so that swayed my vote a little too. I had heard nothing but good things about the Switch port so I was super excited to play it. However, this game honestly looks so bad… the textures are extremely flat.. the frame rate and stuttering were so bad at times (especially in more detailed areas like the ruined city) i had to just stop moving for a minute to see if that would help the game “catch up”. Sometimes it did, other times not so much. i also experienced crashing which was a first for me on the switch. not a good combo for a game that doesn’t have autosaves. Overall, the game is great. The story and world hooked me in a way that not too many have and i’m interested to learn more about the rest of the series now. This game is definitely a must-play, but i absolutely do not recommend the switch version. if you have access to other ports, i would probably go with those. from what i’ve seen now, the PC port looks way better, and i’m sure PS would be even better.

Few games are able to hit all the marks like this one. Amazing combat, intriguing storyline, interesting characters, and beautiful environments. The fact that it runs and looks as good as it does on the Nintendo Switch is a feat of software engineering mastery. I've played thousands of games over my lifetime and this one has remained in my top 5 since it's release in 2017.

It doesn't have the best combat out of all of the Platinum Games out there but it's still great and the story it has has to be seen to be understood. Explaining it would give away too much. Also, surprisingly, the port both looks good and performs well. Might be the most impressive Switch port so far and I can't wait to see the other Nier game eventually get ported

This was an amazing RPG port to the switch. This game is on Playstation, Xbox, and PC BUT it's still just as great on the Nintendo Switch. The controls take some getting use, and it's a game you can just lose yourself in.
