NIER REPLICANT BLACK SCRAWL PS4

After an action-packed section that introduces players to the game’s combat and the main enemies of the game, the Shades, our hero awakens in a sleepy town. The story of NieR Replicant starts off simple enough.

I also only know the major, relevant story beats from Drakengard that lead into NieR so please understand that I’m coming at this PS4 release as a relatively new fan. Playing NieR Replicant was my first encounter with this story and these characters outside of seeing some cool fan art or getting some fun details from a friend.

While I own NieR, I’ve only seen a portion of it played. The newest release, NieR Replicant is a remake of the RepliCant game featuring new story content, a revamped action system, and other improvements. The original NieR release was broken up into two releases, NieR Gestalt on Xbox 360 and NieR RepliCant on PS3 but westerners were given Gestalt, renamed simply as NieR. I played NieR Automata up to the point of meeting A2 and I’ve collected most of the series, missing only Drakengard 2, but after playing through all five endings of NieR Replicant I consider this as one of my favorite fantasy settings ever. The typical fantasy setup and the calming, wondrous music sucked me back into my days of playing PlayStation RPGs while wrapped in a huge blanket while vast worlds unfolded on my bulky floor model CRT. After just a few hours with NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… on PS4 I felt immediately at home. I’m the type of person who often praises games like Legend of Dragoon, Radiata Stories, and Final Fantasy due to lots of reasons but ultimately I enjoy games that explore fantasy tropes. For whatever reason, windswept plains and heroes braving seemingly impossible odds for the sake of a personal cause, or even just to save the world, resonates with me so strongly that most of my favorite media fall into that category. The fantasy genre is a place of comfort for me.
