The last few games you beat and rate them 5

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Just feels finished Neir replicent, and I do mean FINISHED Neir replicent got all the endings A-E.

I had it for over a year before I played it, because I knew there were 5 endings and I didn't want to have to beat it 5 times to see the true ending.

I was 1000000% WRONG that game is special it is a true masterpiece.

If you are like me and you have it In your collection and you haven't played it because you didn't want to do 5 endings I understand that but you are also wrong and you need to play it, and you need to get all 5 endings.

I can't wait to get to Automata.

But first Black Myth Wukong.

I've been meaning to go back to this. I tried it, but it was so slow and tedious with out of date fetch quests and mediocre at best combat. I heard it gets better, but I played it for what felt like a loooooong time.

But then I played Automata. That game hooked me from the get go and by the end was one of the best gaming experiences I've had.

I have yet to play Replicant but wasn't it updated with Automata's combat? Because i remember the original game looking tedious.

The combat in Replicant isn't as good as Automata's. I played it and was unimpressed by it.

In general though, I get it, the game has multiple endings that you're supposed to see, but I always feel it's lazy to make you play through the same world multiple times to experience the full story. A big part of my enjoyment of games is discovery and replaying them just makes it feel tedious.

 

[PeteWorrell]

I didn't find it tedious in Automata since it gave you different perspectives and you didn't replay the exact same story every time.

Maybe it's different in Replicant.

 

[Frankie Spankie]

I tried playing for the other endings in Automata but I liked 2B's combat too much, that was a big draw for the game for me. 9S wasn't nearly as fun and I gave up out of boredom.

Nier Replicant didn't draw me enough on the first playthrough to want to even give a second playthrough a shot.

I think Automata's combat is also just OK, but the switching up the playstyles from hack'n'slash to 2D side scroller to twin stick shooter kept it fun.

I'd also agree that the second playthrough is less fun than the first. I think it does change things up and you get bits of the story at just the right pace to keep it fresh enough, though.

The 3rd playthrough felt different and is a completely different story and worth pushing through the second playthrough.

I took more of my time and did most of the side content in my first playthrough.

The second one was relatively quick and trivalized some of the harder encounters.

The others ones are much shorter and were more about revelations.
