Nice game
Хоть и скачал сейв для быстрой платины, но всё равно прошёл на все концовки. Для меня репликант 10/10
This game was amazing, but if I am being honest, its story was not on the same level as Nier Automata. Still a good story. But this game was SO TEDIOUS AND REPETITIVE. I was so close to dropping this game many times out of frustration, but my love to Nier Automata was the reason that kept me going. But I do not regret playing this game, now I have more context to Nier Automata. solid 7.5/10 for me
Not as good as I expected it to be, still alright.
good
10/10 masterpiece, absolute gem of a game. THIS is why videogames are considered [u] artforms [/u]. The game [i] may [/i] become a little repetitive as you have to repeat Act 2 in order to get all the endings, but you can do side-quests and side objectives to make it a little more engaging (like I did). The last ending was just the cherry on top. It made me feel [b] REALLY [/b] weird, like I was seeing something that I didn't need to see. It's weird that it's the first time I got this feeling from a game, or hell, any form of media. The main reason I really liked this game was because of its story, not it's gameplay. It's isn't bad or anything, but the story is the thing that really shines here. If you liked Automata and wanted more, be sure to the Replicant ver1.22 out, as it just scratches that inch perfectly [spoiler] and because the last ending is tying this game to Automata [/spoiler].

segundo melhor jogo de todos os tempos
This is an okay game but a great piece of art. Why I say so is the core game design is pretty outdated and mid. Repetitive fetch quests , bland looking environments , oftentimes annoyingly mind numbing combat. The most insane part of the game is having to replay Act 2 again and again to get all endings. Its fun the first time but gets increasingly annoying as time goes on. One can argue it is the artist's vision but from a gameplay standpoint its just annoying. Did I mention you cannot even pause cutscenes? Like why bother with a remaster if you cannot include basic QoL features. On the technical side its pretty much unplayable without Special K and if your controller disconnects mid game , good luck it wont work without restarting the game. But the reason I still recommend this game is of course the narrative , world building and themes. Its all masterfully done as typical of Yoko Taro. But I still rank this below Automata.
