Ben Moore: “An abundance of patience is required for Nier, and many will understandably be uninterested in making that commitment. But if you do, know that you are in for a genuine classic. It is a wild game that seems thrilled at the very notion of being provocative. It isn’t shallow shock value, but rather something that tries to reach out, grab you, and give you an experience you can’t easily get in many other places. Replicant is a second chance for the original Nier, and one it unquestionably deserves.”
