While the original didn’t garner much fanfare over 10 years ago, the success of Nier Automata had people excited about Nier Replicant. And, by all accounts, the general public has enjoyed it much more this time around than they did back in 2010.   Thank god for the update of the old game, because we didn’t have tons to discuss for Headlines & Hot Takes on this episode of The Weekspot. However, the announcement of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles did get Matthew all excited, and rumours have been floating around about a Metal Gear Solid remake, and Colm got to talk to my co-host about his new drum kit, so it’s not like we didn’t have anything to discuss.   But, yes, this was a Show and Tell-heavy episode of the podcast, with Nier Replicant 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 about Resident Evil Village after giving last week’s timed demo a go. Meanwhile, Colm jumped into the RE:Verse beta and had an adequate time; he had much more fun with the sweet and funny Turnip Boy Commits Tax Exasion. And Before Your Eyes is the best narrative-driven, blinky game he's ever played.   This week's Mystery Steam Reviews is all about games that are based on mythology.
