     <p>The story is Yoko Tare through and through. Heavy topic, sometimes handheld well, other times less well, story goes so off the rails so much you could think you are in north America because not rail is in sight anymore (Sorry, bad joke).</p>
     <p>The main character controls like a brick and so many aspects are never explain, stuff like that you can control the camera on the pause screen, the flames of the dragon are controllable while doing a strong attack, there are like 7 different type of attack and all are executed with square or triangle, every weapon has its own spell or even that you can summon partners.</p>
     <p>ALL characters in this game with no exception are flawed and completely unlikable, intentionally. Most topics are very on the nose or so in the background you miss them entirely, except if you search for them by playing levels way longer then sensible and triggering combat dialog's.</p>
-    <p>Is it a good game? NO! Is it good art? Well, it is special in every way. It is neither rushed nor is it lazy. It is competently made and with intention. To quote "ConstantlyCaden" "Can Games be Bad on Purpose"? That is what I thought playing this. So much seemed strange to be done like it was but everything has its reason. I will probably never understand what drives a group of developers to push their vision through like this but you created what you envisioned I guess. Sadly it is a time waster when played vanilla and cheated it can only be played if you know what you are bout to play.</p>
-    <p>Would I recommend it? No. It is hard, way to long (somehow not stretched except for the side quest to the end. Kill, short cutscenes, kill and so on with not real level design nor need for the cutscenes) and has topics not everyone can handle. Also: I cheated with double exp, played in easy mode, especially later used Fast forward 200% in repeating sequences, sometimes 400%, never died because I made SaveStates like every 10 minutes and cheated all weapons at the end to get to the 100% joke Ending. I did not even use any other weapon then the starter one. If you play the game normally it is way to hard, unforgiving, timewastey, you MUST grind especially to the end like crazy (we are talking at least 30 hours here in free expedition mode, which I also never touched) to even be able to fight, ask "Logan Welchman", they can tell you how bad it is to do a vanilla playthrough of this game, to quote again "... I Genuinely regret doing it ...". I, on the other hand, had fun with all the cheats listed and knew what I had coming.</h2>

     <h2>My "Drakengard"-"Playthrough" setup:</h2>
     <p>I used many cheats, and often the websites a badly archived or not achievable because of bot protection. So I will list cheat codes here with their sources.</p>
