Linearity can be a great experience if it’s done well, but outside of the way developer Access Games differentiates each location with a special feature (a dark, creepy forest maze, a desert with drastic weather fluctuations that affect your characters’ health, etc.), any attempts at innovation are ruined by the constant backtracking and limited variety of enemies encountered along the way. It’s all a terrible strain on the eyes.ĭrakengard 3 is an extremely linear game, and areas have very little to see and explore. (Yes, I know, every game in the Drakengard series has suffered from these issues, but repeating a mistake doesn’t make it less of a mistake.) There are jagged edges everywhere, the framerate plummets whenever there’s a lot of activity on the screen, the color palette for the world is bland and uninspired, and textures are so undetailed and boring they look like they belong in the PlayStation 2 era. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in dialogue.In the first of the 40 hours I spent with Drakengard 3, I noticed the subpar graphics and framerate.

Cutscenes also depict intense instances of violence: characters stabbing/impaling others with swords or lances. Battles are highlighted by frequent cries of pain and large blood-splatter effects frequent dismemberment/decapitation occurs as well.
Players use swords and bladed weapons to slash dozens of enemy soldiers, trolls, and other fantastical creatures in frenetic combat. This is a role-playing action game in which players assume the role of a celestial being that embarks on a dark and murderous journey.
