That said, it's a better game than Drakengard and a lot more tolerable. They aren't even in the same universes so whether its canon or not doesn't matter. Drakengard 2 follows off of a modified ending A in Drakengard while NieR follows from ending E.

Drakengard 2 for example is canon but canon doesn't mean much in a series with branching timelines. You're not completely wrong but you can't really judge the games unless you've played them and some of the things you mentioned aren't quite accurate. Bad gameplay, Bad music, a story that was alright I think? IDK it's an older game that I can't remember much about.ĭrakengard 2 can be skipped entirely as not only is it really really bad, but Yoko Taro didn't work on it and thus it's not considered a canon game in the franchise.ĭon't listen to NyxCrab's opinion on games he hasn't played. Could probably stick to just watching this game through youtube videos.ĭrakengard 1 is also a pretty bad game from what I remember hearing.

I havent played Drakengard 3 yet, but from what I've heard the story is good in it but the gameplay is awful, mainly because the combat itself is a mediocre at best hack n slash but it's plagued with technical issues such as having very unstable frame rate, constant screen tearing issues, the game being nearly unplayable when you go into Intoner Mode or whatever it's called, etc.

Route C in NieR is also a huge pain because you need to buy every weapon in the game before you're able to start it, which kinda burned me out of it for the time being. That being said, the side quests in NieR are also really awful as they're all just fetch quests for the most part, but luckily none of them really have any bearing on the overall story unlike the side quests in Automata.

The soundtrack in it is just as great as Automata, if not even better in some cases, and the story itself is fantastic. The combat isn't as great Automata's, but it's still satisfying.
