Drakengard 1 is probably the most painful game (both mentally and literally) I played in a while...

Why I played this game: To understand the lore of replicant and how the White Chlorination came to be (Ending E)

Is it worth to play this buggy annoying game?: NO, if you want to play the Ending E boss only use someone's save, or watch a video.

There are a few good things about this game, the characters and the dark nature of the endings, good work from Yoko Taro as always, but other than that the gameplay SUCKS, Music SUCKS, stages SUCK. Some aerial missions are fun.

And by the way, Ending E boss is way harder than Drakengard 3 "D" boss. Ending E carried this game so hard...

I do not like souls games at all, but this one was different for me as it had amazing visuals, terrain and music. There were some bugs such as stuttering due to poor optimization which will probably be fixed in later months.

After playing this game a second time with the co-op mod I have found myself liking it much better, even when I'm alone I like exploring the map and getting the popular endings like Ranni or Frenzied Flame ending. I believe this game requires alot of memorization of attacks and sharp reflexes, and it may be difficult sometimes, but there are loads of build options and so many different abilities and weapons/armor. Taking on a difficult boss can be enjoyable with the versatility of customization.

This game will go down on my favorites of all time, it is packed with action, dialog, story, and combat is very very exciting and boss fights are each unique in their own way and depends on thinking and strategy. Music is also what makes this game a gem, each fight has it's own music track to accompany the extreme conditions. And has a lot of humor packed in there as well I had a couple laughs. Only thing I hated was old graphics and camera is a bit weird, and it is a rather short game, somewhere between 3-10 hours.

Note that this game is a spinoff from the original Metal Gear Solid cannon timeline, but it does reference original characters.

Other than that, 10/10 game!!

This Game is a combat, explosive power scaling, and Quick Time Event/Button Mashing fiesta. The story is good itself, there is no room for the player to relax during this game, every second is action, button prompts, and destructive attacks. And it shows effort put in especially in the artistic side.

Being a PS3 game, it emulates and upscales the graphics WONDERFULLY on RPCS3, on 4k settings it almost looks and plays like a 2017-2020 game. You can play this game at 4k 60fps, and can go even higher FPS but will make gameplay impossible to catch up with.

It was a unique game to play, make sure you get requirements for TRUE ending.
