“Drakengard 3 is horribly written.” Sure is! “Drakengard 3 is one of the worst games ever made.” Mhm! “Drakengard 3 is one of the best games ever made.” Yep! The thing about this game is that you could make literally any (subjective) statement and I’d agree. I somehow figured out what was wrong with the review.ĭrakengard 3 is not a game that can be adequately reviewed. I’ve been thinking about Drakengard/NieR a lot, what with the recent announcement of the NieR Replicant remaster (!!!), and finally, it clicked. What was it about this game that made it so hard to write about for me? Why couldn’t I satisfy myself with the review? These questions and more plagued me for months on end. I had other things to write about, I could focus on that later.Īnd yet, Drakengard 3 continued to compel me. So I left it alone and did so for months. No matter how many times I read it over (probably 30+ times) I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what I actually disliked about the review. Yet, I was still dissatisfied… but why? I agreed with everything I said, none of it was wrong or glaringly badly written, it was, all in all, competent. According to some of the other Story Arc members who read it over for me, it was actually mostly quite good. The review wasn’t badly written, if I do say so myself.
I wrote (most of) a review a long time ago, and for reasons I couldn’t quite place, I was… dissatisfied with it. This is actually the second time I’ve tried writing about it. Ever since I finished it back in like… Last November, I’ve had a strong compulsion to put my thoughts out somewhere to fully sort them out. Drakengard 3 is a game I’ve been really REALLY wanting to talk about for a while.
