The most 2/10 game ever made that didn't become 10/10 because it told me life is worth living, no no no instead it told me to kill myself.
It doesn't matter what your ethnicity is, where you come from, what your political views are, who you are as a person or human being, what your gender is or what social status you have you MUST experience this game at least once in your life before death.

Descend into insanity, immensely carried by experimentality and bravery of it, but actual substance is painfully overrated mess that is barely worth experiencing, mainly due to horrid(serviceable, but horrid) gameplay that might overshadow interesting story, that is nowhere near as good as people describe it and starts getting interesting only in last 1/10th of the game.

Stockholm syndrome might make you pretend that you didn't waste your time, but it didn't last long for me.

Don't expect anything nowhere near Drakengard 3, Nier Replicant and Automata. Just a weird pseudo-arthouse experience with few good ideas here and there.

(this is the 4th log lmfao, this game just can't leave my mind and it certainly makes Drakengard remarkable for that)

I don't know where to start with this game. The gameplay is bad, yes, but the overall package is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It has those visuals, those story moments, and especially some of those songs that will just stick with you after playing. If you can't stand the gameplay I get it, but I'd say watching the scenes isn't the same experience. I highly recommend emulation for it's save-stating and fast-fowarding however.
I'll also say I sincerely hope this game doesn't get a remake if it comes at the cost of trimming the edges from certain subject matters in the story or watering down the unique music. If they don't do that then I also genuinely believe the game WONT be remade.
I just hope the game gets some form of recognition as these memories will stick with me- be it the frustration, boredom, captivation, or honest sadness/emptiness when the journey was over.
