Drakengard 3

[Grindspine]

I downloaded this for PS3 off the PlayStation store.  Since I am a huge fan of Nier: Automata, but do not want to shell out the premium price for the recently released Nier: Replicant remake, Drakengard seemed like a good option to get a bit more out of my PS3.

The graphics are not quite a smooth as current generation, but still amazing in the cut scenes.  The story is random and strange, which is to be expected with Yoko Taro works.  The game play is bloody slash & hack; not as refined as Nier: Automata, but still satisfying.

I have only played an hour or so into the game, but it is making for a fun action romp!

Good suggestion @Grindspine  - I'm taking a look into this game.  I remember passing it up before due to so many  other games.  My Ps3 collection still has many unplayed games.  Which of my collections don't anymore though?  Maybe that's another one for the 1st world problems topic.

Yeah, but at this point, sadly, you probably know the games you aren't going to go back and beat.

I mean, unless I won the lottery and / or reach retirement, I do not know if I would ever have time to tackle my whole backlog between unbeaten video games and unread books.  On a daily basis, work, sleep, working out, and going to the grocery store seem to take up available time where I would have been playing games.

The only problem with PS3 games for me is that Renee uses it as her streaming device for Netflix and Hulu.  If she is home, I get no games played.

Actually, right now she is using my Nintendo DS Lite to play Castlevania: Circle of the Moon while streaming Netflix.  Maybe I cannot finish games anymore since she takes up my consoles two at a time!

Anyway, Drakengard is weird.  I have seen a few videos on how it ties into the Nier series.  It is in the same universe, but loosely connected.
