Can't play this game without getting a massive headache from the fov. Really cool that they only added it in after people complained and then it comes with a warning that it will cause glitches and performance issues if you increase it, very cool
It's a shame that it was never localized officially, there is an english patch though. Really cool story but the game basically plays itself due to the lock-on that auto tracts all the enemies when you aren't playing the dude with the flashlight and the ridiculous amount of resources you can buy at any save point
Currently my GOTY. The gameplay is incredibly smooth. Could use some better settings like being able to make subtilties bigger and a different color, same with the hud. The story was cool but i think i like some of the previous entries' stories a bit more
Coming back to add to this review now that I have completed NG++, got the true ending, completed the entire arena and all the missions. The game continues to be impressive in game-feel at every moment. Its so addicting to play and so easy to just boot up missions and have a blast with them. Even going back to the drawing board with builds in the lab is fun. There are a few stinker missions like Depths 1 which i despise and wish i didn't have to play through 3 times.
--Spoilers--
The story actually got even weaker for me now that i've seen everything. The Flames of the Raven ending feels like the one that got the most attention and is the only one i really liked. The other two felt both a little short with the narrative and gameplay. Final boss of the Liberator ending doesn't have a phase 2 for some reason? The true ending final boss was fun but its set piece was not nearly as memorable as some of the others moments earlier in the game which is kinda disappointing given how much you have to do to get here. I wish the story stayed more in the horrors of corporate proxy wars for resources like it was in the opening hours. The most memorable story moment for me is the mission where you go and kill a test pilot who sounds like he's just a kid getting caught up in all of this. I wanted more of those harrowing moments like this found in the earlier games

PEAK. JACK GARLAND IS MY GOAT

You know most games have a rough first entry that gets ironed out with sequels that are even better than the one before it. This is one of the rare cases where the first game is the best and the series becomes progressively more and more dog shit as it goes on.

Worse than the original but better than people say it is
Drakengard 3
2013
The framerate in this game sucks fucking ass, never call for mikahail's help because his fireballs just make the game a slide show. Annoyingly frustrating at multiple points especially when it tries to be self aware about how shit the gameplay is then still makes you do it's mind numbing menial tasks anyways. I'd take Drakengard 1's boring & repetitive gameplay that at least runs well over this shit anyday. Once you get past the layers of shit there is a real gem hidden with this game's story and music. Sadly all the dlc is $35 on the psn store which shuts down in a few months, thanks sony!
Devil May Cry 5
2019
How does this game exist? Its been 3 years and it doesn't feel real. It's so good that it feels like its always been there and the concept of being pre-DMC 5 is alien at this point
