It fits the hack and slash style of the gameplay very well and gets you really pumped up for battle. I love the soundtrack of this game and think this part of it holds up very well. This is especially true for the character models in the game which can be a tad rough. Its visuals were never one of its strongest aspects, to begin with, but going back and playing this game now, I must say you can 100 percent tell this is a game from the PlayStation 3 era.
The thing is back in 2010, this game looked pretty good. I decided to write this Nier review due to me playing the recently released, Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 which looks phenomenal. Each playthrough actually feels like it matters. Now, this may seem like a gimmick to artificially extend the game, but that is not the case. The thing about the story here is that you have to play it multiple times to get the full scope. Our “hero” is joined by some interesting companions such as a talking book, a youngster, and a woman with a real case of sailor's mouth if you know what I am saying. However, at its core, I would say the story is about a father trying to save his sick daughter and that is a premise that I think makes you really want to drive forward.
This is a very complex story with many twists, turns, and fantasy elements. The story is what I remember most from my time with the original Nier. The fact that Nier was released back in 2010 makes me feel pretty old! This is one of the best action RPGs of its generation and the game was so good, that it actually got a remaster in 2021! Today though, I am talking about the game that started this what has now become a franchise! I played the hell out of the PlayStation 3 version of this and had a truly amazing time doing so.
