Has anyone here played Drakengard 3, and if so, what are your thoughts?

Played most of it- fun action RPG, subverts your expectations of what an anime-esque game should be (I'm told if you've played anything else by Yoko Taro, that's a trademark). Crazy storyline that will simultaneously intrigue & utterly confuse you. It's not super pretty & prone to some glitchy graphical nonsense/slowdown, but it doesn't become unplayable at any point- just annoying.
The game does have multiple endings, but they are presented in sequence- just keep hitting continue after the credits roll & you'll automatically be put on the right path, so don't worry about screwing anything up.
What really bugged me- and trying very hard not to get spoilery here- was the late-game requirement that slams a big ol' grindy roadblock in between you & the final chapter. It utterly destroyed my immersion, & ultimately I gave up & watched someone else's video of the last chunk. The final battle is... unorthodox, & a lot of people don't seem to care for it.
Ultimately- look up the opening cinematic online, & if that looks like something you wanna play (and you can handle the rough edges), you'll enjoy at least most of it.
