Nier Replicant is a remake of the cult classic action-RPG that later spawned the breakout hit Nier Automata. While the original was met with middling reviews and poor sales, the critical reception to this remake has been much more positive. Critics in particular have mentioned its combat improvements and a newfound appreciation for the design style of director Yoko Taro.

"I'm not going to lie, Nier Replicant made me ugly-cry on several occasions," Michael Higham wrote in GameSpot's Nier Replicant review. "Kainé, Emil, and Weiss will win your heart with their earnest and endearing personalities, making their tragic journey with you and tremendous story moments hit hard. Despite some significant gameplay enhancements, the lengths you have to go to see the story all the way through will be a test of your willpower. But for all its antiquated designs retained from the original version, it's worth the effort in the end. Thus, Nier Replicant is essential for anyone who has love for Automata, and it's a special experience on its own."
