What I Loved:
What I love about NieR Automata is how personal it feels. It’s not just about finishing a quest or defeating an enemy — it’s about the quiet moments, the strange beauty, and the emotional weight that sneaks up on you. It’s a game that lingers in your mind long after you stop playing.

The World:
The world is both beautiful and melancholic — vast fields, small villages, crumbling ruins, and mysterious shores. It feels like every location has a story behind it, even if it’s never told directly. There’s a sense of history and loss woven into every area you visit.

The Combat:
Combat is fast, fluid, and blends swordplay with powerful magic. It’s easy to pick up but has enough room to experiment with combos, weapon types, and spells. It’s not overly complex, but it feels satisfying and responsive throughout.

The Soundtracks:
The soundtrack is nothing short of breathtaking. Every track feels handcrafted to fit its moment — whether it’s a quiet melody during a peaceful walk or a sweeping score in the middle of battle. It’s emotional, haunting, and easily one of the game’s strongest points. Including one song out of the whole playlist, Kaine / Salvation.

Verdict:
NieR Replicant is a unique and memorable experience that takes its time unfolding. While the pacing can be slow and not every quest will grab your attention, the game’s atmosphere, characters, and music create something special. It’s the kind of story that quietly grows on you the more you play, leaving you with moments you’ll remember well after you’ve put the controller down. It may not appeal to everyone, but for those who connect with it, it’s an unforgettable journey worth taking.
