The story of that game is similar to one players in the U.S. experienced; you\u2019re on a mission to cure a loved one from a deadly illness. But whereas the Western\u00a0Nier starred a father trying to save his daughter, Replicant centers on a brother fighting to cure his sister. As such, the story takes\u00a0a lot of different turns\u00a0we didn&#8217;t get to experience a decade ago. Meanwhile, the game\u2019s combat and presentation is not unlike 2017\u2019s Nier: Automata, which is the sequel to both versions of the original Nier.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>GI editors Kim Wallace and Jay Guisao recently sat down and discussed their impressions of Nier Replicant from the perspectives of a longtime fan and relative newcomer, respectively.
