    • ITS NIER
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
NieR/Drakengard is forever a 5/5 stars, it’s my favorite series. I definitely recommend the NieR Replicant Remaster as you get more content that kinda transitions you into NieR Automata, but if this is all you can get right now it’s still great!

    • Reminds me of the Playstation 1 days
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
Remember the games on the original playstation where the graphics sucked, but the gameplay was awesome? Square-Enix takes a step back to the days of Final Fantasy 7 and Musashi where great graphics aren't the major concern and instead focus on gameplay. I've recently played Final Fantasy 13 and was disappointed at how linear the game was, not many sidequests until the end of the game. With Nier, you get a bunch of sidequests from the start of the game. And wow, there are plenty of sidequests ranging from: fishing, gardening, delivering fragile packages, to killing large bosses. Although the graphics aren't as amazing as other Playstation 3 games, Nier is the best action-rpg I have ever played. The world of Nier is a dynamic world, meaning that things change based on time such as night and day. The plants that you grow depend on actual real-world time and enemies change depending on how sunny it is in game. Something unique about this game is the light and dark contrast. When you step into a patch of sun from the shadows, you will be momentarily blinded by how bright it is until your hero's eyes adjust. It does get kind of annoying at times, such as when you're riding a boar in the sun and you can't find an exit because it is darkened by the shadows. Nonetheless, I really like how creative Square-Enix got with this game. If you're the type of gamer who likes to rush through things, don't buy this game. If you ignore all side quests you can probably finish this game in under 10 hours, I think you even get a trophy called Lightspeed Warrior for doing so. This game is more suited for players like myself, who like to take their time to unlock everything and finish all the quests. It took me 60 hours to completely finish the game and unlock all trophies. By finishing the game, I mean you have to play through the game 4 times. There are 4 different endings to Nier, and you have to play through the game 4 times if you want to unlock each ending. I know that sounds like a chore, but it really isn't because the game changes after your first playthrough. Enemy magic changes, the loading screen animation changes, and the story itself changes. Your first playthrough will be you killing shades to save your daughter. But on your second playthrough, you get to hear the story from the shades perspective and you begin to wonder if you're really the hero...or the villain. In conclusion, this game is for action-rpg lovers who like to take their time to explore everything the game offers. And yes, this game offers much exploration of wide plains, a haunted manor, a robot factory, a desert civilization, and many more. The music is outstanding and perfectly fits with what's going on during the game. There was this one particular song so sad and beautiful that it almost made me cry. There are plenty of weapons and magic you can choose from and even downloadable content you can get from the playstation store that gives you access to new quests and weapons. If you love action-rpgs, Nier is a game you won't be disappointed with. ... show more

    • Completely unique game that captures you from the start
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3
From the moment you start the game you can tell something bad is going to happen. This story captures you from the moment you pick up the controller to the moment you put it down. As always my reviews are separated into 3 categories. Story, Gameplay, and Characters with more weight to story. Story: 8.5/10 Man this story just grabs you and doesn't let go. You start as a man/mercenary that is trying to find a cure for his sick daughter. She disappears and the man goes to find her to also discover a magical book that talks and claims to be Grimoire Weiss. The two travel around searching out sealed verses that they think hold the key to curing the daughter's sickness. The world is plagued by monsters called shades that seem to have some sort of rational thought and some strange connection to the sickness that plagues his daughter. The man picks up a couple of others that aid him on his quest including a person who is neither man nor woman that is possessed by an evil shade as well as a young boy who is at first cursed with a condition that paralyzes anyone he looks at then later loses his physical form and becomes infused with magic. The three plus the floating book battle on until they discover the awful truth that is the nature of the world. Gameplay 5/10 The overall gameplay is pretty basic. It's a glorified hack and slash with just a little bit of RPG elements. You do get experience and level up but you have no control over what to level up. All of your stats just get a bump. When you collect a sealed verse you also get a new magic ability. So you do have some extra magic powers that REALLY come in handy. You also have the ability to find new weapons and collect parts to improve them. This is a really fun and addicting side quest to the game. You can literally spend hours farming materials to improve you weapons. Half way through the game you also get access to 2 handed swords and spears that add another layer of strategy to your game. Graphics are decent but below average for a ps3/360 game. The soundtrack is beyond amazing. One of the better soundtracks I have heard in recent memory. I personally do not like having to beat the game several times to open up more of the ending. I don't like how games do that but with this game it's definitely worth doing so. I also thought that a lot of the black screen/white text story telling was kind of a cheap way to go about things. It would have been nice for Nier to actually have to experience the dreams or actually get to watch Kaine's story but we didn't get those options. Great music, good gameplay, decent graphics and take a point away for the all text story telling. Characters 8/10 The characters are unique but basic. The main character is fairly developed. He's a father trying to save his daughter. He's also a mercenary. Brash but driven. Nothing too deep here. The side characters are really where the character development comes in. Grimoire Weiss, the floating book, is humorous and comes off as extremely educated and snobby which interacts well with the brash and driven Nier. Kaine, the "neither man nor woman" character takes brash to the next level. You have to beat the game to unlock her back story but nonetheless her back story is sad and gripping. Completely explains her language and look on life. Emil, a young boy cursed with the ability to petrify anyone he looks at is the sweet innocent character in the story. He keeps the others grounded and has his own gripping sad back story that you get to explore in the game. Overall, the weakest character is the main character. The side characters are extraordinarily developed and well scripted. The main character is a little bit shallow (as in not well developed...not as in frat boy shallow) but that is largely due to the story. Overall a superb cast of characters. Overall 7/10 This game came out of nowhere. Most people haven't even heard of it. However, it is definitely worth your time. Some of the gameplay elements left you wanting more but overall this game should not be skipped by anyone that appreciates a deep story in their gaming. ... show more
