Strong 7. Really neat game with a cool gimmick that doesnt overstay its welcome. Makes nice use of the vita features. Gameplay is fun and the core mechanic of gravity shifting makes navigation a breeze. There are times where it is a tad repetitive and the controls are a bit cumbersome. The side content is pretty meh and there are some missions that are just plain bad. Kat is a likeable protagonist and the story is okay, though it throws a ton of weird shit at you while barely explaining it and it feels like half of the concepts dont matter to the narrative.

Strong 3. Unquestionably the worst Fallout game. Its not even a poor mans Diablo, its a poor mans Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance. The combat is awful (both ranged and melee), the game looks ugly, it has obnoxious level design, the controls are weird, and the quest design is mind numbing. It doesnt even get the lore right because you can somehow play as a Ghoul and be a member of the Brotherhood of Steel. Ghouls also arent immune to radiation. So it seems that there is no functional difference between the selectable characters so what is the point? The only good thing I will say about this game is that it has a Killswitch Engage song on its soundtrack.

Strong 5. This is tough because the idea of a Fallout game in the vein of XCOM or Jagged Alliance is awesome, but Tactics just isnt very well executed. The controls are cumbersome, the pathfinding is terrible, the level design is bland, half of the skills are useless, there is zero environmental interactivity so you cant even climb over short ledges, the game is buggy, characters dont do what I ask half the time, the economy is fucked, and the map has the most obnoxious random encounter rate I may have ever seen. In fact, I hate the random encounter rate so much I might have given this game a 6 otherwise. Maybe. The combat is improved, killing enemies is satisfying, and creating your own squad of initiates is awesome, but that isnt enough. Im already picky when it comes to RTT games and the issues are too much for me. The shell of a good game is here, it just doesnt come together. I imagine it was decent for its time but nowadays not so much. At least the story is kind of interesting. Also, the pathfinding for vehicles in particular is fucking abysmal.

Strong 6. This is the closest Drakengard came to having a legitimately good game. The on ground combat has been drastically improved to the point where its fine rather than insufferable and there isnt a shit ton of replaying to get all the endings, but I still only got the first ending and watched the rest online. Unfortunately, the dragon gameplay is somehow worse and one of the few redeeming qualities of the gameplay of previous titles, stages where you can switch between ground and air at will, are completely absent. The side content, or requests, are terrible with some of them having absolutely unforgiving time limits. The boss fights arent great and the unresponsive dragon controls make them worse. The game also runs horribly and should have been a PS4 game. I love the return to taboo and fucked up themes from the first game and it seems like the localization team took the poor reception to Drakengard 1s translation to heart because the taboo shit is there in all its glory. The characters are all delightfully broken and messed up in their own unique way. The humor is very hit or miss but when it hits it can actually be pretty funny (4 and 5s DLC chapters especially can be really damn funny and without a lot of the more grating parts of the writing). It doesnt change the fact that some of it is cringe inducing and some of the characters can get a little annoying at times. The story, like in every Yoko Taro game, is delightfully batshit and most of the voice acting is very good. In true Drakengard fashion, its still kind of a bad game, but the things it does well make it worth experiencing in some form.

Strong 7. Campaign is good, but I liked it less than Halo 2s. Probably because it just feels like Halo 2 again and mission 8 is terrible. It also doesnt have the funny dialogue that the first two Halo games had and instead a lot of the dialogue is actually pretty bad. Still cant ADS on weapons other than snipers (and the zoom still bugs out half of the time) or sprint. Story is good. Multiplayer is basically a slightly better version of Halo 2s.
