The Weekspot podcast: The original Nier was a good not very good game, but Nier Replicant is betterGame of the Nier 2021

Game of the Nier 2021

Thank god for the update of the old game, because we didn’t have tons to discuss for Headlines & Hot Takes on this episode ofThe Weekspot. However, the announcement ofThe Great Ace Attorney Chroniclesdid get Matthew all excited, and rumours have been floating around about aMetal Gear Solidremake, and I got to talk to my co-host about my new drum kit, so it’s not like we didn’t have things to discuss.

But, yes, this was a Show and Tell-heavy episode of the podcast, withNierReplicant ver.1.22etc taking centre stage. While Matthew isn’t quite as hot on it as some others are, he still recognises that this is the definitive edition of a pretty decent video game. The boy of the Castles also continues to be a bit unsure aboutResident Evil Villageafter giving last week’s timed demo a go. Meanwhile, I jumped into theRE:Versebeta and had an adequate time; I had much more fun with the sweet and funnyTurnip Boy Commits Tax Exasion. AndBefore Your Eyesis the best narrative-driven, blinky game I’ve ever played.
