Gameplay and story are both very basic, but by god is this game fun. Coolness factor is over the moon, and the level design with its atmospheric gothic environments is incredibly well crafted. No other game in the series reaches this level of elegance for its missions.

Goofy cute game about organized crime
Samurai batman fights mongolian scarecrow on a pretty japanese island
Had extremely low expectations because I heard these games were bad, but it was a very pleasent suprise to play this one and find out it was actually pretty good. Its no Until Dawn, but still, not nearly as bad as I thought it would be
This being the third time replaying the game and also having played the original, now I can see a lot of filler story beats unlike before. But damm that extra stuff really works and isn't that annoying, as filler usually is. The gameplay is super fun, the charaters are all charming and the story is really well told.
Fantasic game, platinumed it again and I had a great time doing it.

So there's this basic factory level wich on its own is good, not amazing but good. The thing is, the level has a fucking masterful jazz concert as its soundtrack. So in my book, the level and in term the expansion gets elevated to masterpiece because of it. Yuffie being an absolute goofy charming girlboss also helped to make me like this DLC a lot.

Cute and chill game about exploring an absolutely beautiful island.
Also, there's a terrifing lovecraftian god in it (he's pretty cute too).

Best part of the game was when jedi survivor said "I am The Jedi Survivor" and then survived as a jedi.
Nier Replicant has one of the strongest storytelling narratives the video game medium has ever produced, surpassed only by its sequel, Nier Automata, and a few worthy others.
But for me, Sadly this game is held back from masterpiece status by its repetitive nature. The gameplay is not bad, I even say its pretty good, but in the amount of time this game takes to complete, it offers very little in the way of gameplay progression. The combat and exploration stays the same after the first hour with no new twists or mechanics. Sure, some sections spice things up with fun new camera angles and perspective changes, but thats it, the core loop remains unchanged. This is not a big deal for the most part, but to get to the tasty part of the story you are forced to replay almost the entire game like several times, at which point it does becomes a big hindrance to the experience. The music is sorrowly fantastic but it also suffers from the repetition problem since there aren't many tracks or variations of the ones that are there.
All in all a very stale game but also a special one.

Sam Lake who created Max Payne, then wrote a story were he created Alan Wake who wrote a story were he created Alex Casey (Max Payne) that was actually created by a poem by Thomas Zane. Then Sam Lake wrote another story were Alan Wake tries to write a story about Alex Casey who was created in a film by Thomas Zane written by Scratch/Alan Wake, so that Alan Wake can defeat Scratch/Alan Wake.
So then, Sam Lake is Max Payne and or Alex Casey. And Alan Wake is Thomas Zane and Scratch but also Sam Lake.
Did I get it right? Probably not
Fantastic narrative game tho very creative with an exclusively banger soundtrack
