Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Drakengard 2 is a direct sequel to the original Drakengard: the story revolves around Nowe, a boy raised by the dragon Legna, fighting against a tyrannical faction of Knights, encountering characters from the previous game and becoming entangled in the fate of the world. Like the original, Drakengard 2 combines on-foot hack and slash with aerial combat stages and RPG game mechanics. The previous game's producer, writer and character designer returned to their respective roles. The game was designed as a more mainstream game in light of the previous game's dark aesthetic and story. The game sold 206,000 copies by the end of 2005. Western reviews praised the story, but gave mixed opinions about the graphics and widely criticized the gameplay.Show more

Drakengard 2 may not be as canonically relevant to the NieR series as Drakengard 1 however I think it is worth experiencing especially if you want more story for the characters from the first game, even if they may be flawed. The gameplay has the same formula but is improved with far better control, more balanced difficulty and a party system which requires you to switch between members to do a different types of damage against enemies. The soundtrack again is incredible (best version of Growing Wings??) I think the storytelling is a bit clearer and although it doesn't have the same impact of the first game, I think it's worth experiencing afterwards!
I loved the romance between Manah & Nowe. It felt so nice to see Manah achieve a redemption arc & being able to find some semblance of a healthy relationship. What's more, seeing a continuation to my favorite hack-n-slash game was so uplifting.

Addictive game at the time with great boss battles, the first game is also good, I miss this DR 2. The new version that came out for the PS3 was not as good as this one...

Just like my story on part one, this was just so much fun back in the days. Very much of that time; deep yet simple and rewarding retries and just discovering on a perfect paced system and amazing combinations of playstyles. Never will forget the babies..

Fun thing about this game is that you get new endings opened so there is a reason to play again the game. I myself long ago almost cleared the game on hardest difficulty and probably would have got a new ending with it but my little brother as a small kid decided to tamper with my save files and poof. Problem is that I played this game a lot so I didn't have energy to start from very beginning so here's hoping a chance to see it through again on PC and at the final hurdle to get once again poofed save file.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
