Nier Automata is great, but damn Nier Replicant has an extremely comfy vibe.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. The combat is exactly like Nier Automata, very fluid. But the environments really sell it for me. Somehow it actually made me not mind backtracking for quests. As an example, your tiny house in the first village actually feels homey and warm to come back to. Makes me wish the game had a weather system so it rained.

The only thing I don't vibe with is the main enemies. I generally don't like enemies that are just "shadow shape things" or like the same vibes as the fighting polygon team from smash bros. However, since this is Yoko Taro I'm sure the game will make it very interesting later.

@epsi The library in Replicant is a vibe I'm forever trying to conjure

@ocean imagine chilling in that library during a thunderstorm with popola reading quietly and devola playing a melancholic tune on her lute...

@epsi @ocean

@epsi still think its kinda funny that the original had two version. One with Daddy Nier and the other one with Brother Nier
