The remaster of a cult favourite 2010 PS3 game has topped the UK retail charts this week.
Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 tops the charts, knocking FIFA 21 down to No.2. The last Nier game that was released came in March 2017 in the form of the acclaimed Nier Automata. This remake sold 50% fewer copies than Automata.
“89% of sales were on PS4 and 11% on Xbox One. Digital sales are not included.”
AutomataStill pretty good numbers for a remaster of a game that's a decade old
Now where's the sequel at
Automata
My badthe sequel to Automata
It came out in 2017, that's long enough for them to be cooking up a sequel to their most popular game.
My bad
Im hopin this sells as good as Automata so Square gets confident in this series n can throw Yoko a big ass budget, then we’ll really see what he’s capable of.
hope they give em an FF size budgetThey said before this that more Nier games were coming.
please tell me you got the 9 weapons from act 1.Finished Act 1. Fun boss fight and finally the story progressed from just being fetch quests
Some of these camera angles they make you fight at are fugazi though
finished:final thoughts
score is 7.5 outta 10 yet a must play for jrpg fans
points deducted were for the lack of fast travel(yes im aware of the ship in act 2 yet it still aint an excuse for proper fast travel.
act 1 holds it back a lot
constant back n forth makes it boring
combat is solid. I dunno what they changed but I agree with @Grand Conde when he says its better. on paper it looks the same as automata yet it felt more involved n enjoyable.
act2 route B had repetitiveness but was fire.
im glad this one got a remake/remaster. it falls in between both. aint an FFX remaster but aint enough diff for an FF7R.
story is fire. as a jrpg fan I was happy with the improvements.
can't guarantee it to all. its a game you will either love or despise.
overall I dont regret paying that 60 bucks, or the time spent to get ending A through E. im happy this niche joint got a facelift n look forward to the future.
now, given my number score y'all might assume this a skip but it aint. its a game with some problems but so special I still gotta recommend to play if you into jpgs. its special, flaws n all.
can't judge off of Route A act1
Seems about right. The story is full of selfishness and hopelessness that makes you think about your previous in-game actions. Most games don't make you feel about what you do. This one does. That is where the high scores come from.finished:final thoughts

im glad you like it. if you can tolerate the bullshyt in act 1 than the rest will be a treat.Funny, I'm still in act 1 and I'm entertained enough so far and have little gripes with it so far.
