7.0
The atmosphere is perfect, the writing and localisation oozes melancholia, and the music is ethereal and unnerving, yet it's all wrapped up in a gacha overflowing with systems and mechanics in an overbearing manner.

Critic reviews
- 6.0NieR Re[in]carnation is a beautiful story-driven gacha RPG with an incredibly polished art-style, exceptional audio and sound design, and a brilliant minimal UI.
- Nier: Reincarnation could have been perfect but suffers from frequent crashes and corrupted saves on many Android devices.
- 6.0Taro has never handled a story that continued beyond launch day, and what little plot is in Re[in]carnation so far is basic but has plenty of room to grow and expand into a weird yet wonderful experience. Still, it’s going to need to evolve past the extremely standard auto-battler it currently exists as. Admittedly, it’s just difficult to admit that a game I still kind of like at the end of the day might have been better as a “walking simulator.”
- 7.0NieR Re[in]carnation si piazza nel mercato come un titolo da provare e vivere pur considerando i suoi limiti in fatto di gameplay. Le storie dei personaggi e delle armi, la trama della Ragazza di Luce e di Mama, nonché le incredibili atmosfere ci hanno convinto positivamente, dandoci modo di andare ancora più fondo nell'intricata mente di Yoko Taro.
- Mettendo in scena un gioco veramente atipico come narrazione ed estetica a fronte di un gameplay decisamente trito e poco originale. Un contrasto strano anch'esso, che può incrementare la curiosità per questo titolo, la cui prova è comunque consigliata a tutti, stando ben attenti ai meccanismi perversi che un free-to-play gacha si porta sempre dietro.
