When it comes to presentation, NieR Replicant is a triumph. All of these elements are done incredibly well (there was only one puzzle I didn't like) and help keep the experience fresh. Players can expect platforming to overcome, dungeon puzzles to solve, the occasional isometric top-down perspective, intense bullet hell sections, and even some Choose Your Own Adventure-style text stories. On top of hack-and-slash combat, NieR Replicant also briefly dips into various other genres several times throughout your 30-40 hour journey. These powers combo excellently with your weapons, and players who master both the melee and magic sides of NieR Replicant's combat will become unstoppable. Some of these abilities include rapidly firing bolts of dark energy at enemies, impaling them on magical spears that jut out from the ground, absorbing magic attacks with a powerful defensive shield, and more. In addition to the swordplay, Replicant also offers players several different magical powers that they can employ in battle. Compared to the original game's combat, which was sometimes sluggish and didn't always feel responsive, the new system is an incredible step up. Actions performed by both you and your adversaries are animated with beautiful detail and precise clarity, resulting in action that not only excels on a technical level but also in terms of style. Well-timed blocks and dodges will also give players opportunities to land critical hits or get around the defenses of their opponent. The combat system has been completely redesigned to play more like NieR: Automata's so players can fluidly perform numerous different combos as they hack and slash through enemies with swords, spears, and more.
When it comes to NieR Replicant's overhauled gameplay, there's a lot to love. This makes the process of drawing conclusions about the story intimately engaging in a way that few games are. The game's plot is rather confusing at times, but I believe this is actually to the narrative's benefit since players will be driven to pay close attention to various worldbuilding elements for clues. New lines of dialogue added in the remake enhance these interactions (and the meaning behind them) further. Every character in the story has rich, wonderful depth, and the way that they interact with each other and the world around them feels believable. That being said, people who are able to overlook its abstract nature will find a narrative overflowing with heart and soul, especially when it comes to the game's cast. Replicant, much like Automata, is undeniably a weird game. NieR Replicant is an emotional rollercoaster that's overflowing with heart and soul. Along the way, he's helped by several allies, including the sharp-tongued magical book Grimoire Weiss, a crude and vulgar woman named Kainé who is often shunned by others due to how half of her body is possessed by a dark Shade creature, and Emil, a young boy who suffers from a condition that causes anyone who makes eye contact with him to turn to stone. Set thousands of years before the events of NieR: Automata, Replicant focuses on a young adult Nier as he struggles to find a cure for the Black Scrawl, a mysterious disease that has afflicted many people - including his little sister, Yonah - around the world. So, take a gander you might just find something you’d like.Without a doubt, the best thing about NieR Replicant is its incredible writing. And, of course, pretty much every Final Fantasy games starting with FF III is on sale, as well. And even Daikatana, for some god-forsaken reason. Then, there are old school classics, like a whole host of Tomb Rider games, Deus Ex games, and my beloved Legacy of Kain games.
As far as recent huge hits go, you can pick up Nier: Automata for half off, Rise of the Tomb Rider (67% off), Just Cause 3 (75% off), Deus Ex Mankind Divided (80% off), and more. The list is way too long to cover all the discounts, so we’re just going to go through a few of them. So, you’ll have the whole weekend to browse the games on offer and see if you want to pick any of them up. The sale will last until Monday, 10 PM Pacific Time.
Of course, FFXV is not on the menu as far as discounts go, but come on, it’s $40 as it is. There’s a wide array of Square Enix games on discounts up to 89%. The aim is probably to get the hype going for the PC release of Final Fantasy XV.
In other (and somewhat related) news, there’s a huge Square Enix sale happening on Steam.
