Nier
Nothing is as it seems. Nier must travel the world in search of a cure for his daughter who has been infected with the deadly "Black Scrawl" virus. How far will you go to save someone you love?
My Experience with Nier in 2018
I’m tremendously self-conscious writing this review and could espouse on the reasons I felt I needed to in some vain, conceited way, which I already have begun doing, but I just want to express how I… Read more
Great Story Held Back by the RPG Structure
No! Please, stay. Don't let the 2/5 scare you away from my review! I really have some things to say about this game and I think you should hear them; I'm not here to just slam the game by any means. T… Read more
The little action RPG with a big heart
Nier tried my patience at times, but I'm glad I stuck it out. The gameplay is not overly challenging (on normal difficulty) but the magic abilities you gather over the course of the game offer you a f… Read more
Boring, repetitive gameplay saved by one of the most interesting stories of the generation
For me, RPGs are all about the story and the world/characters crafted by the developer. The best games bring a brand-new world to life, giving me a place to explore for hours on end--learning its hist… Read more
Cavia's last (and possibly first) hurrah
A bit of combat... Let me talk a little about a feeling I have with certain video games: Beyond Good & Evil, Deus Ex, Fallout being prime examples of this. Whenever I go back to these games, playi… Read more
It's flawed as hell, but I can't help but love it.
The Short Pros - Dark, exceptionally well-crafted story that transcends most JRPGs and games in general - Does something rare in that it doesn't ham-fist you ever piece of information, saving most of… Read more
Nier: The Most Mixed Bag There Ever Was
Nier is an oxymoronic miracle. Rarely does a game go so thoroughly out of its way to seemingly appear dismissive on virtually all accounts before attempting to reverse course at the very last second,… Read more
Trivial Zelda-like Filled w/ Frustration
If I had to sum up Nier in a single thought i would say that this is a Japanese or Japanification of the Zelda mechanic. It is odd to say that when Zelda is in and of itself Japanese, but this game es… Read more
Thoroughly mediocre
Nier is one of the most inconsistent games I've ever played. It has a handful of good qualities and some design decisions so baffling that it's incredible the game was allowed to proceed to certificat… Read more
An odd ball
Nier is a hard game to qualify and quantify, because for all its successes it has its pitfalls, and depending of the player, the outcome of the experience might range from marvellous to horrific. The… Read more
One of the better games you'll never play
Japanese powerhouse publisher Square Enix saved most of its 2010 marketing thunder for Final Fantasy XIII, but a little over a month after that game hit western shelves, Square quietly published Nier.… Read more
Nier - Tedious
I'll expand on this later, but for now lets just say when I want to play an MMO I'll give Blizzard my $15 a month and raid with the bros. Time consuming gardening, fishing, and grinding for materials… Read more
Nier looks promising but ain't worth the full purchase.
What would you do to save the daughter you love? This is the theme to Nier, an action RPG developed by Cavia Inc, the makers of Bullet Witch and Drakengard and published by Square-Enix. Cavia has not… Read more
A step to short
Right off the bat, I feel Nier was both excellent and bland at the same time. In a gameplay sense, this game definitely falls short. The combat is boring and uninviting, and I felt that most of the ti… Read more
Nier - Far from perfect but still hermaphroditically awesome
Nier may require you to suck up a few hours of nondescript scene-setting but it rewards with a dark and moving story that eclipses the few technical flaws. Set over a thousand years in the future afte… Read more
[Hilarious joke about Distance]
Can you remember when you used to smile about life? I really can't sense that anymore, right down to this book I've been reading. Passages thousands of years old with words I can't understand, and it'… Read more
Nier review (insert witty pun here)
I'm going to get this out of the way right at the start. Nier is not for everyone. Most people will be turned off by its boring fetch quests, simple combat, dated visuals and ugly protagonist (not to… Read more
Nier
Nier is the latest of square-enix’ (publisher) adventures outside of the familiar Final Fantasy franchise. My previous experiences with such games have not exactly been pleasant, especially not at a f… Read more
Life is crap, then you die.
Nier is an action RPG from Square Enix, somewhat of a sequel to Drakengard, which i havn't played. It's quite obvious what the gameplay is like, most of the time. Run around and slash dudes, use item… Read more
