Other reviews have already said everything I would want to say but I just want to add that I adore how the final boss of the final ending completely invalidates all of the progress you've made as a player by 1. completely disregarding how you've developed your character (since your level is ignored, weapons aren't used, etc) and 2. completely disregarding how you've improved as a player by randomly making you play a janky rhythm game. Perfect irony for the game to make you perform the most Pointless Video Game Task of all time by collecting every single weapon just to turn around and say "that was a waste of time and you're a moron for doing it. Fuck you." I don't think any of Yoko Taro's games (many of which are trying to do a similar thing to Drakengard) pull it off nearly as well because most of them are at least trying to be fun.
