This is a bad game. Drakengard 1 was an interesting bad game. 3 is just bad and is not even interesting.

The writing, while funny for the first couple hours, just devolves and gets worse. The ending (big reveal why zero is doing stuff) just doesn't make up for the rest of the game being stupid. It's not even that cool of a concept. Also all the split timeline shenanigans are stupid and add nothing.

This game sucked. I want to replay Drakengard 1. Nier Replicant and Automata (and drakengard 1) are borderline accidental masterpieces. Yoko Taro makes bad games, but he can very rarely be absolutely brilliant. This is not one of those times. I have ZERO clue how someone could play this game and then go, yeah let's fund Nier Automata. I'm so glad they did, but how the hell did we go from this to that
