    I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the first game so I had to jump into this improved version of the series prequel. If you are looking for a unique gameplay experience this is where it’s at

    Love this and the sequel Nier-Automata, I wasn't even aware this was the prequel to Automata but that only makes it better, excellent gameplay and visuals, a truly fun game.

    Remake/Remaster of the 2010 title Nier, this is based on the Japanese Gestalt ver. we never saw. Enhanced fight mechanics and graphics. I got it on sale so I cant complain.

    Great game. Played the original NieR Gestalt on the PS3, and this one adds a lot of updates and improvements without losing the originality of the story and characters.

    Absolutely loving it. Amazing graphics, a story that sucks you in and very good combat. Nier Replicant is just the sort of game I needed. I'm only about ten hours in, but it's worth it.

    can't give it less than five stars despite some mild criticisms. legendary franchise, maybe the best on ps4. yoko taro + platinum games is a unique and fruitful collaboration

    Finally, the Original Version Comes Stateside.

    Finally, the original version of Nier comes to the USA all these years later. Basically the same game as Nier Gestalt (or simply Nier on the Xbox 360 in the USA), but with some minor differences, like different characters, we now can see the writer's original vision behind this game's tale (playing as the ailed Yonah's brother instead of her father). Much tighter controls, cleaned up in a higher resolution, this game is worth buying again even if you own the original Nier.

    Never played this back when it first released, so playing it after it's Sequel NieR Automata it was nice seeing things act as callbacks of sorts. Really glad they retuned the combat, and the auto-battle mode makes getting all the endings a breeze.

    This game is a must play. It does have mature themes, but they really don’t make games this good anymore. Check it out.
