Nier Replicant is a remaster of the original Nier that was originally released only in Japan. It features a different protagonist from the one playable in the Western release and other changes. PC players have been requesting a remaster for years, and Square Enix has finally delivered. However, similar to Nier Automata, the PC port of Nier Replicant has its issues. It lacks many features expected from a modern title and has numerous technical problems.
