Make Nier even weirder with World of Recycled Vessel DLC

New content pac🦹k to feature younger version of Nier𝄹, 15 new areas

By now, you've probably at least heard of Nier, the relentlessly strange action-RPG that's managed to win over reviewers with its fascinating storyline and offbeatsense of humor (if not its bland action, last-gen visuals and obtuse fishing minigame). If you've actually been playing it, however, you may be in for a treattomorrow, when the game gets its first pack of DLC. Titled "World 💝of Recycled Vessel," the new content, accessible through a diary in Nier's house, opens up a "dreamscape" for Nier and his friends to adventure in.More interestingly, it'llfinally enableall you Japanophiles toplay as "young Nier" ꦫfrom the Japan-only Nier: RepliCant.

Aside from giving players access to Nier's younger, prettier self, the DLC (which costs 560 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft points, or $6.99 on PSN) comes with 15 new areas to explore, includingmore segments where the action-RPG gameplay will suddenly give way to on-rails shooting. It'll also featu🌠re remixed versions of the game's existing towns, new weapons and a few samurai and kabuki costume൩s for Nier and the gang to wear.

Seven bucks for a significantly bigger game sounds like a pretty good deal, although the younger, less craggy Nier is probablythe biggest selling point here. If nothing else, it might make some of his more na🦋ive, idealistic-JRPG-hero moments - which don't jibe at all with his weathered-badass exteri💯or - make more sense. We'll know for sure when the pack hits tomorrow.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
