Everyone in Drakengard 3 fucks and they have to make sure you know about this at all times.

What a strange one. Probably more fun than Drakengard 1, but SO different they may as well be unrelated.

Played on emulator so I thankfully avoided the seemingly dreadful technical woes.

Like Nier: Automata, the gameplay is pretty much functional enough to drag you through and you can feel the early DNA of that game in here.

It has the Yoko Taro classic "multiple ending" and "every character is a fucked up little guy" but a lot of this stuff is worked into the world itself here.

Interesting time to be sure, but fuck that final boss, man.

Edit: After re-evaluating the final boss, and realising that the trick is to just not look at it and rely on the "song" it made it way easier and I now think it's incredible. Thanks.
